It seems like a lot of the girls in the European countries are much taller than us Americans.
When I first saw the pole result I was jokingly going to ask if all the 5'7"+ ladies are Danish. I know one Danish woman my age who's just 2 inches taller than me making her 5ft even but her legs are shorter than mine[huh] , everyone else dwarfs both her and I. All the petite women I know are over 60 years old. There are no one on either side of my family I could inherit vintage clothes from because they're all tall ectomorphs. I'm not only petite but have that fashion challenged shape called an hour glass figure.
