What bodytype is best suited for the skierg?
The erg rowing machine favours taller and arguably heavier individuals, how about the skierg? Typically what would the anatomy be like for the top times/disciplines? Excluding stuff like Eddie Halls 100m sprint.

IMO it's the same type. Big, tall, strong and young.
59m, 5'6" 160lbs, rowing and skiing (pseudo) on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Re: What bodytype is best suited for the skierg?
Compared to the rower you need to a bit stronger. The smaller upperbody muscle do the main work. You can also be a bit shorter, the stroke is less limited than on the rower. For the rest, being big, strong, and very fit is needed.
Roughly speaking, most people but not all, are faster on the rower. Very upperbody strong people sometimes ski faster.
Also rating, if you fit enough to rate very high, that can compensate less strenght a bit.
