I am a figure skater myself and i have seen all different sizes of figure skaters on the ice! It doesnt matter what kind of body shape u have or size! Lets be honest it would be harder for a larger size person or a taller person to get themselves off the ice and into the air in many jumps such as ( Axel, Double sow, Double toe, Double loop, Double flip, Double axel, and tripple jumps). Most of the girls i see skating are small and short but there is some taller girls and larger girls aswell. I think no matter the shape size and Height of your body, i think if u keep your mind set on your goal (eg. landing a jump/ learning a spin) you can accomplish anything! That go's for all sports and activities!
Hope this helped :-)
U.S. Figure Skating, the governing body for figure skating in the United States, nominates the athletes they believe should compete in the Olympics. The United States Olympic Committee then acts on those nominations and selects the athletes to represent the U.S. in the Winter Games. Almost always, the United States Olympic Committee selects those that were nominated by U.S. Figure Skating. Michelle won the U.S. Figure Skating Championship in 1998 and 2002, along with many other championships around the world, and the governing body (U.S. Figure Skating) nominated her to represent the U.S. at those Olympics. The United States Olympic Committee concurred and she was placed on the team.
Skating is much like running in that it is an aerobic activity that uses the legs. Skating will strengthen your quads, hamstrings and calves, as well as help you lose weight and keep a healthy body.
Well, you could fall on any part of your body. Intense figure skaters will sometimes have knee and/or ankle problems because of landing too many jumps.
Ice skating can be fun but it depends on your body condition and your personality.

She retired. she was getting quite old to be a professional figure skater and compete at that level. Those jumps are extremely hard on your body and it will start to wear on it.

Depends on your body figure, budget, and which character you like.
the body of the human feels a bit lighter than usual especially if your going fast on the skates. the human body tries to calm itself down and adapt to the speed. then your use to ice skating and so is your body.

Speed skating requires good equipment and good form. In general the lower one can keep his body the faster one will go. More information can be found at US Speed Skating, and Ellis Method.
