Youngest and oldest skaters to land triples.

There's hope for us adult skaters yet.

You mean Kwiatkowski, not Harding?

I completely forgot Biellmann was doing triples recently. I haven't seen her skate since 2001, when the pro comps were still on the air.

Not sure that she did one recently but still doing “The spin” is as fascinating as jumping triples.

Mira Leung had several triples when she was very young. I remember seeing her coach Karen Magnussen speaking about the fact that she had five triples at ten years old. Here is her wikapedia page that says she had two triples at 8 years old:

Surya Bonaly is still landing triple salchows at 38, I wonder if she can hang onto them through to 40 - she's got another 15 months. She was landing triple toes in early 2011, but I'm not sure I've seen that from her in any videos since.

Shizuka Arakawa, triple Sal at age 8. (According to Wiki.)

Why not? She is in incredible shape!
