Well, kind of really. He was largely criticizing the fact that teenage girls are winning over older ladies, and we need to raise the minimum senior age.
Yes, and if he trained Sasha/Anna/Alena/ whoever, from the start, they would skate well into their 20s and win everything. And maybe he would be willing to try when they are older, if they were willing to do the work to change technique.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree, I'm saying that would be his mindset. It may be wrong, he might not be able to do it, but it's not hypocritical
