star has officially set a new record for having the world’s longest
legs (female). Ekaterina Lisina, who stands at 6ft 9in, has two

tallest model.

right leg is 132.2 cm (52.0 in) long.She comes from a very tall
family, with her brother measuring 6ft 6in, her father at 6ft 5in
and her mother at 6ft 1in.

Lisina overcame being bullied about her height as a teenager to
achieve her dreams of becoming a professional model.
In 2008, she played in the Russian Olympic basketball team and
won a bronze medal at the Beijing Games.
Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday said: “We
might have been inspired this year by fictional superheroes, but the
focus for this edition is celebrating the planet’s real-life superheroes,
who come in all shapes and sizes.
“We believe that everyone has a superpower that’s waiting to be
discovered, and our search for the latest record-breaking talent has
brought us into contact with some truly superhuman characters.
“Beyond these wonder women and super men, you’ll also find an
awe-inspiring roster of record-breakers, from talented pets and
remarkable feats of engineering to amazing wonders from the
natural world and every significant sporting achievement of the past
year.”
