Who is Rumeysa, the World’s Tallest Woman?
Born in 1997, Rumeysa is a lawyer and public speaker. She was diagnosed with Weaver syndrome in her childhood, a condition that caused her height to be unusually tall compared to other children.
In 2014, she set the world record for the tallest teenage girl, and in October 2021, she was awarded the Guinness World Record for the tallest woman.
Rumeysa’s height is 215.16 cm (7 feet 0.7 inches). Due to her height, she faces difficulty walking and uses a wheelchair for mobility.
Who is Jyoti, the World’s Shortest Woman?
Jyoti, from Nagpur, India, was diagnosed with a condition called achondroplasia at the age of 5, which is a form of dwarfism, limiting her growth to a certain height.
At 30 years old, Jyoti has appeared in a music video by famous singer Mika Singh and recently acted in an American TV series.
On December 16, 2011, she set the Guinness World Record for the shortest woman in the world. Her height is 62.8 cm.
