Coach Eteri Tutberidze considers it unfair to change the age limit in figure skating. She stated this in an interview with Channel One.

“Maya Khromykh, Daria Usacheva, Kamila Valieva have just graduated from juniors. And these girls, can you imagine, would ride on an equal footing with the children. And they are already formed such girls. And they would go out to skate on equal terms. This, it seems to me, is the murder of minors, "Sport-Express quotes Tutberidze.

According to her, before, no one was outraged because of the abundance of young figure skaters. “Why did Alena Savchenko, who went through five Olympics, not complain that there were youngsters next to her? Because she is a great athlete. There was not a single cry about this during the era of her skating, ”added Tutberidze.

Tutberidze remembered the figure skater who ran away from her because of cutlets. Figure Skating Earlier, the Norwegian Skating Association proposed raising the age limit for figure skaters - from 15 to 17 years for singles and up to 16 years for dance duets and pair skating. This issue will be considered at the Congress of the International Skating Union (ISU) in 2022.

At the Olympics in Pyeongchang, Alina Zagitova won the gold medal at the age of 15. Anna Shcherbakova won the 2021 World Cup at the age of 16, and 15-year-old Kamila Valieva set three world records this season at the Grand Prix series in Sochi.
