For the second question, the top 6 move onto the final round. Thanks, she is already 29 ... so i guess no. In ski jumping she would probably be called a junior, but in freestyle skiing most athletes of her age are probably retired for almost a decade by that age ... It is pretty interesting that in freestyle skiing, artistic gymnastics, diving, snowboarding and figure skating mostly very young athletes dominate, i guess that is also the reason why germany is shit in those sports, you have to train very hard from a very early age on.
