Hmm so after watching that clip I'm just wondering how tall is Mirai?
NBC says 5'3"
Icenetwork says 5'4"
ISU says 5'4.5" (164cm)
Associated press says 5'5"
Next to 5'1.5" Katie Couric she looked only a couple inches taller.
In these pictures from the Olympics:

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/p...d=298273826341 she looks only a little taller than 5'2" Rachael Flatt, clearly shorter than 5'4" Emily Samuelson, and nowhere near as tall as 5'6" Tanith Belbin.
Here with 5'2" Flatt and Cohen and 5'3" Wagner she looks only about an inch taller than Wagner (all skates are different though so this pic may be irrelevant).
In her slideshow on youtube,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVRCGNTOjdk, there's a picture of Mirai with 5'4.5" Yuna who looks about an inch taller, and next to 5'7" Patrick Chan he looks to have at least 3 inches on Mirai. Next to 5'4" Mao she looks a bit shorter, and 5'7" Kozuka looks a good 3 inches taller.
So from the looks of it, Mirai appears to be about 5'3.5", but I have never met her, and if she really is only that tall I don't know how she managed to get listed as 5'5" on some sites, so maybe she really is 5'5" and just has bad posture? Has anyone on the board met her recently and know how tall she is?
