how tall is Daisy Dick?

[LeneHorse]

Just seen Claire Balding's interview with the team - is Daisy Dick really tiny or did it just look that way because she was next to WFP?

I thought that too, he made her look tiny!

Id' say it doesn't help that Claire Balding is pretty tall too!

According to her profile on the olympic site she is 168cm

Is there a link to the interview?? I missed it, stupid work

I must know lots of tall people then! I'm 5'6" and 90% of people i know are taller than me!

At the beginning of the interview, I thought I saw her squat down a bit to get closer to the microphone. So that might explain it as well.

Ezme, I am 5'9"! My husband is 6'. Averages are not very telling because it doesn't mean lots of women are 5'4", it means some are, lots are less than 5'4" and lots are more than 5'4", and the average of them is 5'4". I know lots of tall people, as well, generally the women I know are around 5'6/7" and apparently people are getting taller. But I also know lots of small people - one of my aunts is 4'11"!

Average 5'4'' for women?! you joking?! I'm 14 and im 5ft7.. loads of my friends are taller than me, none are 5'4'' or shorter. Infact, only a few people in my form at school are shorter than 5'4'' and we havent stopped growing yet!!
