Hi, just wondering are there many 29+ skaters out there competing that are male?. Just wondering cause I just learnt my very first Programme :-)

Hm, though I do think that there are less male than female skaters (even in the lower age brackets) there certainly are males out there over 29 that compete. Met one of the most impressive and funniest ones at the ISI Disney Ice competition last year... he was in his 70s (I think 76) competing solo and with is son. Wonderful skater and fun to watch!
Sadly I was told that he died later the same year...
Then there was another male skater at that competition who was in his low 30s if I remember correctly and competing solo at the FS1 level. He must have been fairly ne to competitions since he looked very nervous and unsure of himself. Saw him a few months later at the ISI Adult Championships in Vegas and what an improvement!
