No. He had to be 13 by the previous July 1 (2010) to compete for Junior Worlds. He will turn 13 before July 1 this year, so he'll be able to do the JGP and Worlds next season. And he'll turn 15 before July 1 of 2013, so he'll be eligible for Sochi! He will still be 15 by the Olympics...and i know it's too early to predict, but if he won, he would beat Dick Button as the youngest Gold medalist. (Dick was 18.)
