Another problem with the effects of getting too thin was shown by both Zhang & Zhang and Pang & Tong. When they were too thin, they couldn't get the needed height to complete their jumps, and were underrotating and falling. Not only that, but if the man has a big jump and rotates slowly, and the woman has a tiny jump and rotates quickly, it doesn't score particularly well. You shouldn't diet to the point where muscle loss becomes a problem. It is a difficult balance between being too heavy to be easily lifted, thrown, and lofted into a twist, and being too thin to assist with lift, throw and twist takeoffs and having trouble with jumps.
Being a pair girl is definitely challenging.
