Cha and Aymoz were surprising ones for me as well.
I am also curious regarding the reasons why some skaters seem a lot taller than they actually are, while for others it might be the other way around. For example, do boyish good looks tend to make people think some skaters are shorter? I guess maybe lines, proportions, costumes, and perhaps even how one moves could be factors as well.
Aside from the ones already mentioned, I am also a bit surprised by Robin Cousins being 183cm. I knew he is not short, but did not expect him to be this tall.

Anyone who saw the flower ceremony at NHK knows Kevin is positively Napoleonic....
