Svetlana Pankratova and He Pingping
6. Leggiest Woman and Smallest Man - Svetlana Pankratova and He Pingping Russia's Svetlana Pankratova is the world's leggiest woman. Her legs are 4 feet, 4 inches long. As her upper body is of much more typical dimensions, she is 2.00 m (6 ft 7 in) tall and has very large feet, size 13. She played women's basketball at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, USA, from 1992 to 1995. She was a great player, setting two school records which are still unbroken. Svetlana Pankratova is getting pleasure from her celebrity status as the woman certified by Guinness to have the world's longest legs. But it has its shortcomings as she said, "Some men don't like standing next to a woman that tall." And finding dress pants? "Impossible." Whereas China's He Pingping, is the world's smallest man. He stands at 2 feet and 5.37 inches tall. In September 2008, he traveled to New York City to help launch the 2009 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, which certified him as the world's smallest walking man. He was admitted to a hospital on 3 March 2010 in Rome, after complaining of chest pains. He had been filming Lo show dei record. He died on March 13, 2010, at the age of twenty-one of heart complications.
