Abstract: An oriented equator of

m a t h b b S^{2}

is the image of an oriented embedding

m a t h b b S^{1} h o o k r i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b S^{2}

such that it divides

m a t h b b S^{2}

into two equal area halves. Following Chekanov, we define the Hofer distance between two oriented equators as the infimal Hofer norm of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism taking one to another. Consider

m a t h c a l E q_{+}

the space of oriented equators. We define the Hofer girth of an embedding

j : m a t h b b S^{2} h o o k r i g h t a r r o w m a t h c a l E q_{+}

as the infimum of the Hofer diameter of

j^{'} (m a t h b b S^{2})

, where

j^{'}

is homotopic to

j

. There is a natural embedding

i_{0} : m a t h b b S^{2} h o o k r i g h t a r r o w m a t h c a l E q_{+}

, sending a point on the sphere to the positively oriented great circle perpendicular to it. In this paper we provide an upper bound on the Hofer girth of

i_{0}

.
