I seriously doubt puberty is about to "hit" Stanislava. She's 18, soon 19.
But Stasya did not start figure skating until 7 or 8 years old While most of the Russinas start at 3 or 4. Then it makes sense that she's a late bloomer in her career.
Stanislava is an aberration rather than the rule. She is getting better at age 18 and will probably peak around 20 or 21 years old versus most of the great young Russian girls peaking at 15 16 and 17. And this way I wish more girls were like Stasya and not retiring at 17 18 19 and 20 years old like several have the last couple of years.
