Olympics Age Requirements

Here's an article about the ISU age requirements that affected Mao Asada in last year's Olympics, and Kimmie Meissner in the 2005 World's. The rule is as follows:

Rule 108, Paragraph 2 of the General Regulations, as adopted by the ISU Congress in 1996:

a) In ISU Senior Championships and the Olympic Winter Games only skaters may compete who have reached at least the age of fifteen (15) before July 1st preceding these Events,
b) In International Senior Competitions only skaters may compete who have reached at least the age of fourteen (14) before July 1st preceding the competition.
