That would be a pretty unfair rule to bring in, especially with the juniors...how are you supposed get a pair team together and hope they last for an entire elligible career if you don't know what eventual height they will end up?
What if a pair has a height differential of 6.5 inches....should that be it they're not allowed to skate pairs with each other anymore?
That said when Obertas skated for the Ukrain with her partner that really did look ridiculous - she was 12 or 13 and he was 19 or 20 and looked like a tiny kid skating with her coach...she used to have to take off on the SBS jumps way after him in order to land at the same time....that was pretty sill and there must have been a height difference there of well over a foot!
