I would raise it to 16 across the board for the Olympics. I was reading on a 12th grade level in the 6th grade. I wasn’t emotionally mature enough to go to high school or college. An 11 or 12 year olds brain is not equipped to understand what dangers may be inherent in what they are doing and the adults around them may or may not have their best interests in mind. Just because a thing can be done doesn’t mean it should be.
6th grade is 11 y/o, right? 12th is 17 y/o. You really think there is no in between with an 11 and 17 y/o???? Nonsense. At the most, make the limit 16, like gymnastics. I particularly find the 3A even without the ultra elements to be more interesting skaters than Bradie, Mariah, that emotional case from Canada, etc.
