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 :-)

How was Michelle Kwan selected to become an Olympian?
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.
