Don't know how up-to-date the information is, but her ISU bio page and wiki page both say 1.66 m (5 ft 5 1⁄2 in)Congrats to Rika Hongo on winning gold on her senior GP debut. She deserved that win.
Miki is shorter than Mao and stand at 5'3". How tall is Hongo?
Compare that with Mao Asada 1.63 m, and Miki Ando 1.62 m. I think Rika's proportions are different though, she seems to have longer legs and perhaps that's where her extra height is.
Indeed - she was originally only going to skate once in the GP series, at Skate Canada. She was only added to the Russian GP due to a withdrawal (Marchei?). How lucky did that turn out for Rika?!I join you in congratulating Rika on her gold, but one correction: this was not her debut on the senior GP. She skated at Skate Canada two weeks ago, finishing in 5th place.
