Which skaters are Aging Out of Juniors in 2024?

[haribobo]

For pairs, if my calculations are correct- Ehrhard/Pellegris, Williams/Lewer, Shimizu/Honda, and Metelkina/Berulava

For dance, Pinchuk/Pogorielov, Tali/Lafornara, Pedersen/Chen, Carhart/Horovyi, Bland/Sperry, and Nguyen/Giang

For men, Michael Xie, Francois Pitot, Beck Strommer, Fedir Kulish, and Yudong Chen as mentioned below

Let me know who I have missed...

Grimm/Savitskiy, I think -- it appears his 21st birthday is right on the cutoff date!

Unique situation but I think that means he has another year. I think the wording in the past or maybe even currently included ‘before’ but will investigate.

Found this on a quick mobile search. Although it is a pairs & singles’ communication, the phrase ‘before July 1’ also appears here in regards to being pushed up to seniors.

Shouldn't we wait to see what the ISU proposed legislation to deal with the junior age max for pairs men is before we discuss which teams are aging out? It's possible they will extend it to dance or also raise the age max for pairs women or all four disciplines.

Or not wait, haha. Since this week is a bit of a skating news drought...

Based on the Adelina Sotnikova example we can assume that they have another year of eligibility.

During the TV broadcast of Italian Championships, Michela Cesaro said something about waiting for ISU Congress' decision on new proposals for maximum ages of junior ice dance women in relation of Tali/Lafornara. She was talking about women maximum age being raised to 21 because the prospect was for T/F to have 2 more Junior seasons.

That makes some sense - with the senior age min being raised to 17 next season, I can see the junior age max being raised to 21 for singles and women in pairs & dance and 23 for men in pairs & dance.

Really? I thought the whole idea was to differentiate the juniors from the seniors with respect to age. I don't see any reason why singles skaters up to the age of 21 should be eligible for junior.

Indeed.

Adelina Sotnikova was born on July 1, 1986 and had to wait a year longer to compete internationally as a Junior and then as a Senior than she would have had to do if she had been born a say earlier.
