Tallest Woman in the World

Yao Defen is now the current world's biggest woman or tallest women in the world after former record holder Sandy Allen passed away in August 2008.

Thirty-four-year-old Yao Defen is known as Asia's tallest woman. At 7 feet 7 inches, 396 pounds, and a shoe size (EUR) of 78, Yao attracts a lot of attention. This "woman giant" makes her living as a circus performer. Her boss forces her to perform despite her physical ailments, and he even mistreated and bullied her when she requested to go to the hospital for a physical examination.

Yao Defen was born in Shucha Town of Liuan City in Shuchen County, Anhui Province in 1972. The fourth child of her family, she weighed only 6.16 pounds at birth. At age 3, her food intake was three times that of other children her age. By age 11, her height was 6 ft. 2 in., and she grew to be 6 ft. 8 in. by age 15. Finally, she became the tallest woman in Asia at 7 ft. 5 in., which is almost seven inches taller than the woman basketball star Zhen Haixia.

The story of this "woman giant" began to spread rapidly after she went to see a doctor at age 15 for an illness. After that, many companies attempted to train her to be a talented sports star. However, the plans were discarded because Yao was too weak. Because she is illiterate, since 1992 Yao Defen has been forced to earn a living by traveling with her father and performing.

Yao Defen's father and mother are both about 5 ft. 2 in. tall. Yao's giant stature was caused by a large tumor in the pituitary gland of her brain, which was releasing too much growth hormone and caused excessive growth in her bones. Six years ago, a hospital in Guangzhou Province removed the tumor and she stopped growing.

How is Yao's life now as the famous "woman gaint"? According to reports by China News Net, Yao Defen said she has gained nothing after two years of hard work. In 2003, she signed with a circus manager in Suzhou City in order to make a living and support her mother. During her national tours, she fell several times during the performances, and injured several parts of her body. Her boss, a person identified only as Mr. Qui, refused her request to be taken to a hospital and forced her to continue the performing.

Sandy Allen - Former World's Biggest or Tallest Woman

Till her death in August 2008 Sandy Allen was the biggest woman or the tallest woman in the world.

At 7-feet, 7-1/4 inches, Sandy Allen is taller than any player in the National Basketball Association. In fact, according to the Guiness Book of World Records, Sandy is the tallest woman in the world.

Being the tallest woman in the world has its share of advantages, but it has its disadvantages too, Sandy says. But Sandy manages to laugh at those disadvantages. In her video, It's OK To Be Different, Sandy challenges kids to make the best of obstacles they face and to always treat others with respect.

By the time Sandy was ten years old, she was more than 6 feet tall! A tumor in her pituitary gland caused the gland to produce too much growth hormone.

In her late teens, Sandy had an operation that helped to control her growth.

Without that surgery, she would have continued to grow and, eventually, she would have died.

Today, at age 41, Sandy has already outlived her life expectancy. While her health problems are many, she takes the time to talk to kids whenever she can. Sandy's It's OK To Be Different video is a taping of just such a session. Sandy talks openly and honestly about her life and her problems. She responds warmly, gently, and with humor to the kids' curiosities.

"Some people make fun of me because I'm so tall, but I'm proud of myself," Sandy tells the kids. "You've got to be proud of yourselves too, no matter what you are. Be proud of yourselves and make the best of what you've got."

Sandy talks of a universal problem--feeling left out: "The boys made fun of me and the girls didn't want to be my friend because I was different," she tells the kids gathered around her. "I didn't get to participate in most of the things other kids got to participate in."

But that only taught Sandy that she couldn't give up. "Don't give up when you've got problems to solve," she implores.

Sandy is able to laugh at herself and encourages kids to learn to do the same. "If you can't laugh at yourself, then you're really in trouble," she says.

In her video, Sandy tells stories that interest kids and make them smile. She tells of pulling into a truck weighing station along the highway to be weighed, of meeting Michael Jackson (he's friendly and shy), and of her eating habits ("For breakfast this morning, I only had three short people!").

Sandy encourages kids to read too----an activity she did a lot of as a child. Today, Sandy serves as spokesperson for a program called I'm Big on Books---You Can Be Too!

In addition, Sandy talks about the Golden Rule, her 8-foot-long custom-made bed, and how she sews many of her own clothes and wears size 22 hand-me-down sneakers provided by stars of the NBA!

Sandy's video is not without its drawbacks. It's not exactly "studio quality." Also, some teachers might want to preview the video and fast forward by comments she makes about her preferred diet and about a brief encounter with a basketball official. But the positive messages stand out, and they are messages kids won't soon forget. Students will come away from the video awed and inspired by Sandy and her messages: "No problem is too big" and "It's OK to be different."

THE LONGEST LEGS IN THE WORLD

The thigh's the limit! How our 5ft 2 3/4in man measured up on a date with the world's longest legs.

Svetlana Pankratova (born August 29, 1971) has, according to Guinness World Records, the longest legs of any woman in the world.
While she is not the world's tallest woman, her legs are 132 centimetres (4 ft 4 in) long. Because her upper body is of much more typical dimensions, she is 196 centimetres (6 ft 5 in) tall. She has also very large feet, size 13 (US) / 46 (EU).


Pankratova was born in Volgograd, Russian SFSR, USSR. She played women's basketball at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, USA, from 1992 to 1995. She was an impact player, setting three school records which are still unbroken:

No. 1 ⁃ Career Blocked Shots, 1992–95 (176)
No. 1 ⁃ Single Season Total Blocked Shots, 1994–95 (75)
No. 8 ⁃ Single Season Field Goals, 1994–95 (178)
Pankratova appeared in Trafalgar Square in London on September 16, 2008 with He Pingping, then the smallest man in the world (before his death in March, 2010), to promote the 2009 edition of the Guinness World Records.

Tall story: Svetlana Pankratova with the vertically-challenged Vincent

Her legs measure 132cm, or 4ft 4in.
Meanwhile, my whole body comes in at 5ft 2 3/4in. (And don't you dare snatch that three-quarters of an inch from me.)
Despite all this, Svetlana has agreed to spend the afternoon with me, in an effort to give me a glimpse of what life is like for the big boys and girls.
We're perched by the bar in a pub in London's West End.
Sitting on her bar stool, she doesn't appear to be overly tall. It's only when she uncurls her legs and stands up that you notice how extraordinary her body is.
Put it like this: the top of her legs line up with my shoulders.
I won't spell out where my head is when we stand facing each other. But I won't be needing an umbrella today.
But it's not Svetlana's bust that has, over the past few days, enabled her to achieve a blast of worldwide fame.
She's just earned herself a place in the book of Guinness World Records because her legs are officially the longest in the world, a full two inches longer than the shortie who had previously been claiming the title.

Such great heights: The mismatched pair stretch out on a bed

Today, as she sips a pint of English bitter, her extraordinary limbs are housed in a pair of bright blue jeans that fit as tightly as a Harley Street surgeon's rubber gloves.
And quite right, too. She'd be daft to hide them, even if she could.
For her legs are not just inexplicably long, they are also slim, toned and sexy.
At this point, I should point out to my lovely wife that these descriptions of my drinking companion's body are delivered purely in the interest of scientific discovery.

And, in any case, Svetlana said: 'Though I don't mind dating shorter men, I wouldn't go to extremes, of course.'
Would 5ft 2 3/4 in count as an extreme?
'I'm afraid you would be too short for me,' replies Svetlana, whose boyfriend is a mere 6ft.
In fact, Svetlana, 36, who was born in Russia but now works as an estate agent on Spain's Costa del Sol, is not as tall as you might imagine.
Though her legs take up a whole 4ft 4in, her full body is 'only' 6ft 5in.
'All my extra height is in my legs,' she says. 'If I'm sitting behind my desk at work, no one realises how tall I am.
'Above the waist, I'm like everyone else. It's only when I stand up that people say "Wow".'
Nor is she the product of unusual parents. She's brought her mother along to our little drink in the pub, and Lidia, a sweet white-haired woman, is a mere 5ft 11in.
'She was an ordinary baby, not any larger than any of the other babies at first,' Lidia says.
'She weighed 3.2kg (7lb) when she was born.
'But by the time she reached her first birthday, I realised that she was growing very fast.'
Her look is certainly eyecatching. As we chat, two strangers peek their heads through the door of the pub.
It's gawping time at the zoo. Out come the mobile phone cameras. Snap, snap.
'People stare a lot. I suppose I'm used to it, but sometimes I still get irritated by the reaction I get,' says Svetlana.
'Some people do make nice comments, but most of them are pretty stupid.
'I'm surprised that middle-aged men think it's OK to behave like children when they see me. And I don't like it when people take pictures sneakily.'
Yet despite this, she appears to revel in the attention her body brings her.
In the cab to the pub, the driver instantly reached for his copy of the Daily Mail. 'You're the lady who was in my paper, aren't you?
'You've got incredible legs,' he said. 'Thank you,' she beamed.
It wasn't always like this.
'As a teenager, I was quite self conscious about my height.'
Her solution? She joined a basketball team.
'It would have been a waste not to have, wouldn't it? And it made me feel better being surrounded by tall people.'
These days, she flaunts what she's got. We leave the pub - eyes still swivelling - and walk along London's Tottenham Court Road.
She often wears mini skirts (they're sold as knee-length, of course).
'I'm very fond of my legs. I've got really nice legs, so why should I hide them?
'It's nice to show off the fact that I have the longest legs on the planet.'
The downsides are obvious.
She can't travel with easyJet or Ryanair. She can't buy trousers very easily.
She can't bear it when people say to her: 'Did you know you've got really long legs?'
But mostly she appears to revel in her extraordinary physique.
She hasn't ended up in the Guinness Book of World Records against her will - the entry is a direct result of an email she sent to the company when she realised that her legs were longer than the previous incumbent's.
Her trip to the UK is being funded by the publisher, and it may lead to a new career.
'Change is always nice,' she says enigmatically. 'I wouldn't mind doing something else - in the media. Or modelling.'
So, the million-dollar question: would she swop her 4ft 4in legs for mine?
She pauses for second. 'No thank you,' she says. 'I'm quite happy the way I am.'
