We don't actually have the size of the field and little to infer the distance between characters from. As for the balance beam, she wasn't aiming above or below, if I'm understanding you correctly. People as a general rule are pretty close to the same size from the side and from in front, but either way, the shoe either hit her or it didn't, and it's an issue that we don't really have a way to establish whether it did or not without bias influencing the decision.
