1) How does Auxier think he can just tell us what "everyone" wants to see? What about those of us who simply want to see the best skating -- not the "mature women's skating" if it means watered down content where it's an event to land a lutz....
2) Why do you get to decide that we don't see Shcherbakova, Kostornaya, and Trusova until 19-20? Even if Auxier suddenly has the power to decide things like this, he says 17-18, not 19-20. Plus, THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS YEAR'S PROPOSAL ABOUT RAISING THE AGE. So it can't happen until 2020 at the very earliest -- when Shcherbakova, Kostornaya, and Trusova will all have been senior eligible for a year already. You really think that if it passed then, they'd send them BACK DOWN TO JUNIORS???
This is just wrong on so many levels....
