I voted for they should lower the age minimum. I think a 15 year old is more than ready. I think they should lower it to like 13 by the previous July 1st. It's even harder since they took away the rule of medaling at the Junior Worlds.

There are so many skaters getting injured so young... I think age limits are a good thing.

With the injuries on the young skaters potentially more damaging than those on the older skaters -- IMHO the age limit should be raised.
