Caroline & her sister:

I suppose anyone would look tall and big next to Caroline, but I wouldn't worry too much about Caroline's physique for skating if she grew to be her sister's size.
Her sister is a graduate student at MIT and so is probably in her mid-20's.
Her sister has heels! Didn't you notice! The heels she wears are from 10 to 15 cm high (2-3 inches?? right?). So they are probably almost the same height.
