So, back to the original post. Ayumu Hirano is the second best in the world and is 5'3 and 110 pounds.
I have to wonder if he really has a genetic advantage over someone like Lindsey Vonn. I have to think that if someone like Vonn had dedicated herself to half pipe snowboarding from a young age, she'd have a pretty good chance to compete with guys like White and Hirano. I am sure she is stronger than both of them.
