The Granny nickname comes not really from her age, but from a certain hairstyle she wore for a couple of seasons, about 5-6 years back (when she was certainly not the oldest around at that time)

Same!also: i LOVED her transition from the donut to the biellmann.
Thanks - she was my favourite skater 10 years ago, would have loved to hear her just outta curiosity. I've since grown up and moved on
I'm in Canada though, so no luck of that happening.
I understand, but it's still derogatory, especially considering that: (a) her hair's no longer like that so there's no basis for the remark; and (b) it's a "convenient" nickname in that she does happen to be older than most skaters.
She's not a bad commentator, she just needs to talk a little less.
