The tallest woman in the world
Rumeysa Gelgi from Turkey is the tallest woman of her time. At 7 feet 7 inches tall, she was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest woman in the world in October 2021. In 2014, Gelgi set a Guinness World Record for the tallest girl living in the world. Now, she has received three more Guinness World Records which has surprised many.
3 more achievements
Guinness World Records has awarded Rumeysa Gelgi 3 more certificates based on her hands, fingers and back. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, her longest finger is 4.4 inches long, her right hand is 9.81 inches long and her left hand is 9.55 inches long, making it the largest living woman's hand.
Also, her back is 23.58 inches, according to Guinness World Records. Rumeysa Gelgi currently holds 3 more Guinness World Records for finger, hand and back measurements.
Weaver Syndrome
Rumeysa Gelgi had been diagnosed with a rare form of Weaver Syndrome. Due to this her body is constantly growing. Doctors say that this condition can cause a person to have a large head, a different intellectual disability and a different facial structure.
Gelgi, who is in a wheelchair due to the syndrome, also walks daily with the help of a metal crutch. She said, "I am very happy. My relatives and friends continue to support me."
Gelgi is also the current tallest woman in the world, but not the tallest woman to have ever lived - Zheng Jinlian of China is the tallest woman in history. Guinness World Records says she was 8 feet 1 inch a few months before her death in 1982.
