It was too late for me to become an Olympic gymnast or figure skater when I turned 16 or maybe even sooner because I had no training despite asking my parents since I was 5.

also probably didn't have rich enough parents.. last Olympics I watched every time they did a bio on one of the athletes the story went "when I was 7 my parents dropped everything to move to insert insanely expensive ski resort town here so I could practice year round!!!"

I’m 30 and I’m thinking about learning figure skating. I have no allusions that I’ll compete but I want to do it just for fun! I just learned roller skating this year so I think if I put the time in I can learn.

Ice skating is exhilarating and an absolute blast! I highly recommend you try it! I’m 31 now and I never go, nobody ever wants to go with me, but I should go by myself, it would be worth it.
