this is my take.
i think because Frank didn't stick up for Michelle at that age, (stating she was too young to win-even though-tara, miria who didn't have pcs /artistic at that age )won had to say something like it was age. otherwise he is looking bad for not sticking up for michelle . He thought she was too young, to win, medal that is why he didn't fight for the medals at the 1995 worlds, or say something at nationals etc. even though the public thought michelle should have most definetely medaled
since michelle didn't win it young -elizaveta.
however at skate canada it was Mirai who skated like a junior and elizaveta tried to skate like a senior.
and or maybe because Mirai isn't producing/pacing herself for nationals , that could be another reason
maybe he is just frustrated the elizaveta could medal her first year up, mirai under him only has 1 medal, mirai isn't skating the way she whould and frank wants an excuse
