Oops. It's still a BMI of 15.3. For comparison, that would be like a 5'4" person who weighs 89 pounds. Picture that!

At 5'4" a weight of 108 - still very slim - is the bottom of the normal range on the BMI scale. The child of 4'7" should weigh at least 80.

The BMI scale is much different for children. 70 lbs would be a very healthy weight for a little girl who is only 4'7''

OK, but since a child would not be allowed to skate in adult - I mean senior - pairs, that is not relevant, is it?

He has no choice! i actually read his 'search' ads on 'icepartnersearch', one important criteria is to find a 'petite' partner(that's his exact word).

He's only 172 cm, I believe even Baldin is taller than that.

Baldwin is short? (I couldn't tell that from youtube!) How tall is Rena?

Just checked their ISU info.

Rena: 149 cm
John: 175cm

John is pretty short among male partners.

Most Chinese female partners are above 160 cm; Aliona is sort of short, 153cm, but her partner is not tall either, 175cm, which makes them a good match.

It's so funny that Andy did not put down his height on ISU page.

Hongbo Zhou = 177 cm (5'10")
Xue Shen = 160 cm (5'3")

PS. Another interesting note: John Baldwin lists his profession as "full-time athlete," while Rena calls herself a "clerk." Is she working the cash register at Target to pay for their training?

So she's 4'10" - I'd guess she weighs in the 90s, considered in the normal BMI range. She doesn't look either frighteningly skinny or too heavy to lift.

Xue Shen is another very slim one who still manages to look healthy ... even though she's probably hungry all the time. But for me she's about at the lower limit of a skater I can watch without concern overtaking my sporting excitement.

He could do well with a partner around 148 cm and 90lbs. His last partner was 155 cm and 105 lbs.
