Tall and Statuesque Skaters Club

Thanks for all you suggestions, now lets think about pairs & dance and the cutoff...

For pairs gals: Minerva Fabienne Hase - She's 167 cm

Personally, I'd put the cut-off for tall women in pairs at 163/164-ish? I feel like there are too many gals in the 158 - 162 cm range for anything below that to be tall.
For the pairs men, definitely over 180 cm, possibly even over 185 cm, just because pairs men tend to be on the taller side. :unsure:

I have to go lower cause 183 would take out Bruno Massot. Artur Dmitriev, & Lloyd Eisler who all have a wow factor of scary tall.
 
Ah, so I remembered this another site thread, and even though this is now one year old, includes all ages (i.e. also still-growing juniors who are more likely to be exceedingly short), plus is solely based on ISU bios that are often not accurate (as infrequently updated), maybe the average heights are still interesting for everyone here:
  • Average height of female pair skaters: 155.9 cm
  • Average height of male pair skaters: 180.3 cm
  • Average height of female skaters excluding pairs: 162.3
  • Average height of male skaters excluding pairs: 176.5

Also, notable entries from that thread:
  • Madeleine LINDHOLM TORGERSEN (Singles): 180 cm
  • Viktoria BORZENKOVA (Pairs woman): 168 cm
  • Andrei CHUVILAEV (Pairs man): 200 cm

I assume both of the women's height averages are somewhat lowered by the comparatively young age women start competing internationally compared to many men, but even then the trend is quite clear:
Pairs women < non-pairs women < non-pairs men < pairs men

Oh that is interesting, the name sounded very Norwegian, and after a quick Google search I found out indeed that she is Norwegian, and was competing at JGP in 2016. Never heard of her before, even though I started watching figure skating in 2014 :scratch2: :scratch2:

I was going to write that Linnea Kilsand seems to be the tallest of the Norwegian women I could think of, she is 166 cm. But compared to Madeleine that is nothing. I guess Linnea is the tallest of the active skater at least.
