Does anyone believe that the advent of skaters staying olympic eligible has made a shift in the definition of an "old(er) figure skater?
I now see more and more 20 somethings on the ice, holding it together and using maturity to overcome obsticles. I think the face of skating has changed trememdously since skaters are spending more that 4 tp 6 years in elibles before (if ever) turning pro.
I'd like to hear your thoughts in the matter. BTW, go read the ages of many of the European competitors and thier placements...makes MK seem rather "youngish" LOL
