19 doesn't seem particularly young though. Even some people who explore post-secondary educations after high school will be out in the workforce by that age.
That hardly seems relevant. I'm far older than most figure skaters, but I still feel quite confident in the fact that 19 is not a particularly young age for a woman to become a figure skating champion. In fact, doing it 10 years later would actually be more noteworthy.
Old enough to have been 19 many years ago. Its young on the timescale of the human lifespan, certainly, but by 19 one has the opportunity to be already fully established in society and industry. You expect people to be working on amazing things by that time. Any greatness that may come from that work does not seem particularly unusual to me.
I am actually quite surprised that there has been such negative reaction to my comment. When does one age beyond the "wonder years" if not by 19?
