Female figure skaters do not peak at 15 or 16 — or at least they don't have to. That's really the whole problem in a nutshell.
Yeees!!! There are so many great examples of skaters who peaked in their 20s in my opinion. Carolina Kostner, Irina Slutskaya, Yuna Kim, Mao Asada, Michelle Kwan, Miki Ando, Midori Ito, Kristi Yamaguchi etc.
Artistry develops over time and I feel like too many skaters retired before they could fully develop their artistry.
