"All I know is that skating is getting better, the guys are getting better throughout the whole age range"
About this Quote
The repetition in “getting better...getting better” reads like insistence, almost a rebuttal to nostalgia. Figure skating fans often argue that past eras had more “art” or more “edge quality,” while current discourse fixates on quads and base value. Stojko, a symbol of the 90s push toward athleticism, threads that needle: improvement isn’t confined to the teenagers landing the newest jumps. “Throughout the whole age range” is the quiet thesis. It suggests deeper coaching knowledge, better training methods, longer careers, and a broader talent pipeline - the sport leveling up at every rung, not just at the top.
There’s also an implied competitiveness, even optimism, in the understatement. If everyone is improving, no one gets to coast on reputation. Skating, in his telling, is an arms race of craft: more refined, more demanding, and more democratic in where excellence can emerge.
