The title of “Tallest Girl in the World” was deservedly received by Sophie Hollins from Southampton (Great Britain) - at the age of 12 her height reached 189 cm. This is a record for this moment, and it is noted in the Guinness Book of Records.

Immediately after birth, instead of clothes for newborns, the girl had to buy clothes for 3-month-old children, and at 2 years old she wore clothes for 4-year-old children.
The parents noticed the child's rapid growth and turned to doctors at 8 months. It was found that the girl’s body produces an excessive amount of protein (Marfan syndrome), which leads to rapid growth of connective tissue. In addition, this affected her vision, and at the age of 2 she began wearing glasses.
Sophie's mother was worried about her daughter, because in a school environment she cannot avoid insults and experiences associated with growth, but the girl studies well, is very positive and friendly.
Doctors are trying to use modern advances in medicine and try to stop the growth. They couldn’t stop it, but they slowed it down, which was noted 2 years ago. Thanks to research in this area, they guarantee her a full, long life.
Sophie herself hopes that her friends will one day be able to catch up and overtake her, and that she herself will live happily ever after.
Sophie's brother is growing up ordinary child– the disease was not transmitted to him.

But by the age of 11, the girl grew to 188 cm. The reason for such a sharp jump was not genetics, since the parents are Chinese of average height, but a pituitary tumor. Only after surgery Yao Defen's growth stopped. The clinic staff was forced to order a special, strong bed for such an unusual patient. There was also a problem with medical devices; they were too small to examine a Chinese woman. Therefore, the operation turned out to be very expensive, its amount was 12.5 thousand dollars. All expenses were paid by a British television channel that was working on a film about the life of Yao Defen.
The Chinese woman’s main place of work was the circus; the record holder got a job there back in at a young age at the father's request. IN free time the woman was fond of basketball. But, unfortunately, high growth is a huge burden on the body. Therefore, over time, Yao found it increasingly difficult to perform normal actions.

Second place, after the Chinese, is occupied by the American Sandy Allen. Her peculiarity is her height of 232 cm.

This man is known to many for his kindness and responsiveness.
