The Long and Short of It
19 Sep 2008
Pingping of China is considered the world’s shortest man. He is just 2 feet 5 inches tall. He has a form of dwarfism that lead to his small size.
Svetlana Pankratova of Russia has the record for the longest legs for a woman. Her legs are almost 4 feet long.
The two met for the first time this week. They both are in the Guiness Book of World Records and were publicizing the newest edition. Pingping can be found under “shortest man who is mobile”. Though Pakratova is not the tallest woman in the world, she has the longest legs (that we know of!)
