    well, it all depends on three things

    1. Luck

    2. Commitment

    3. Talent

    Lets just say you are talking about the 2018 olympics, that gives you 8 year of hard, hard training, getting up at 4 in the morning etc. as well as sacrificing certain things, and even then you might not make it, that's where the luck bit comes in. You have to be better than everyone else in like 4 minutes, with no do-overs! Have you ever heard of Alissa Czisney? Well she won Skate Canada international and Skate America in the 06 olympic season and still didn't make the olympic team.

    So to answer your question I would say maybe... but if you love the sport don't give up!!!

    I am 14 years old and have dream similar to yours, but I will not allow myself to be swayed even with the stats lol :D

    Hope my crazy long answer make sense and helps! :D

    I'm not really familiar with the UK levels, but from what I've scrounged up on the internet, you seem to be progressing the same as I did, and I'm pretty sure that I have no chance at the Olympics.

    Be that as it may, you are a different person than I am. If you have the work ethic that I don't and love the sport, you may make it some day. It would mean that you have to start training intensely immediately, however. And it would take a lot of work. But if you are dedicated and sure that this is what you want, then go for it. Good luck!
