i disagree. adam rippon started at 11 and did quad lutz. i think double axel is manageable within a summer (where they're training 60 hours a week at a camp with Eteri/Maxim T/Tamara/Nina M/Pavel S or someone of that quality)There's no way their jumps and skating skills can be improved over a summer. They only started skating in their teens and are a living breathing answer to those "I'm 14, is it too late to make it to the olympics if I start now..." questions. They've been doing the same SBS (2S, 2T-1A-1A) for three seasons now, don't expect to see much improvement in this area. They struggle with SBS 2F and I wouldn't expect them to ever get a 2A.
Re: Zhang/Jia, no deets but I don't expect to see them at COC
