I really don't understand why Russian coaches chose only 150-155 cm girls to teach what Russians call 'ultra-c elements' :dev3:
Maiia Kromykh is around 1.7m and can do 4S.
Alexandra Trusova should be around 1.6 now after having gained a lot during this season and she can do every quad apart of 4lo.
Alina Zagitova is 160+ and is said to be learning quad.
Russian coaches didn't choose to teach quads to only 155> kids, kids who land quads (3A,Valieva,Zhilina,Akatyeva) simply are still growing up and haven't crossed 155cm (Trusova most likely did and soon so will Sherbakova but it was during this season).
Eteri has been skeptical of grown up women learning quads from scratch,not relatively tall girls who have learned it after growing up landing them, but I guess we will see how it goes with Zagitova.
So wait until at least, next season, until start making theories about height.
