Im 13, ive got my grade 4, how far in figure skating will I actually get?

Question

A member of my family asked me, scince ive just started ice skating and im 13, how far will i actually go? Ive been skating 3 months and ive got my grade 4, bt am i wasting my time?

Answer 1

Wha it is grade 4? I'm only familiar with USFS and ISI. What are your highest jumps and spins?

Answer 2

you will not go to the olympics. i was at freestlye 2 when i was 6.                                                   you might be in an exhibition or small(and i mean small) competition. i am only 11 and i am starting triples. you would not go to regionals or nationals or the olympics. but if you skate a lot you would get in a small competition..

Answer 3

Figure skating is a disiplined sport that takes lots of practice you have only done it for a short while but done it well if you have the dedication you should go far otherwise just enjoy ~~

Answer 4

Answer 5

That is totally up to you.  Waste the time, or practice and get good at it.

Answer 6

same with me! I'm level 4 but I just started last winter. I didn't start lessons until around march. it might be too late for Olympics, but if you take gymnastics and ballet and work really hard and go to the ice rink often there's a chance you could be in competitions!

Answer 7

I started skating when I was 9, and I'm 12 right now. I'm in FreeStyle 6 / Preliminary, and I have really solid doubles landed. I really love skating, so I try my best to get better. It didn't take me a long time because I would really focus hard. If you love the sport and you practice enough, then you won't be wasting your time. If you don't feel so good about skating, then do what you feel like doing.

Answer 9

there are tons of competitions you can compete in! skating is great! you can skate until your 90!

you can never waste your time on skating! you can pretty much compete when you get a few jumps and spins down.

its highly unlikely that you will go to any novice junior or senior level, its never happened before in womens figure skating,there's a first for everything!.

but trust me, lower level competitions can be a blast, ive found that the higher i get the more nervewracking it becomes. and just because its a low level competition doesnt mean that its small. yes, there will be small competitions but there is also LARGE competitons for lower levels.

figure skating is one of those things where you get out of it what you put into it. train as hard as you want to succeed.

email me if you want! im 13 too! [e-mail]
