She is only 160 cm. She looked much taller than she actually was!
Correct, Maria was only 160 cm. or 5'3" for all of us non-metric people. Maria had long legs for being as short as she was and she also had very good posture. It's too bad they didn't have the great close ups of the skaters back then, that they have now. Maria was a beautiful woman and she was a giant flirt when she skated. Even during her Otonal Free Program which was very lyrical and pretty. She had a look that in her eye that I can't explain. I guess Ashley is the closest to Maria but, Maria was more subtle and I think that's why some people would complain about her huge performance scores. Believe me, they were well deserved.
