The 2010, 2011 and 2012 editions of Guinness World Records recognize Sultan Kesen (born December 10, 1982) as the world's tallest living person. He also has the largest arms (11.22 inches or 28.5 centimeters) and the largest legs (14.4 inches or 36.5 centimeters). The tallest man in the world lives in Turkey.
Sultan Kesen is also the owner of the largest custom made shoes and gloves along with pants and T-shirts. Most men can buy their clothes in a department store, but at this height, finding clothes is next to impossible. It's amazing that Kösen is still growing. In 2011, he grew 8 feet 2 inches.
According to the Book of Records, Sultan Kesen is the tallest living person in the world, reaching an average height of 8 feet 1 inches (246.5 cm). He was first measured in Ankara, Turkey in February 2009. He defeated Bao Xishun (Inner Mongolia, China) who stood at 7ft 8.95in (236cm). However, he was still growing and at a later meeting with America's then tallest man George Bell, Sultan Kesen was measured at 8 feet 2 inches tall. On February 8, 2011 Sultan Kesen was measured in Ankara, Turkey at 8 feet 3 inches (251.4 cm).
Kesen came to the University of Virginia in 2010 to have UVa doctors help treat a tumor in his pituitary gland that was causing excess growth hormone and gigantism. Previous, failed attempts to stop Kosen's growth have made the UVa team's job much harder. Doctor UVa put Kosen on medication to help balance his hormone levels. Dr. Jason Shian (a UVa neurosurgeon) used an instrument called a gamma knife to remove a tumor that was too deep in Kosen's brain for conventional surgery. The technique used concentrated beams of radiation. This operation was completely different than if it were a person of normal size. Special equipment was brought in from Sweden to match Kosen's skull. In early 2012, Turkish doctors confirmed that Kösen had stopped growing.
The world's tallest man was unable to complete his training due to his extreme height, but worked as a farmer to support his family. Sultan Kesen has three brothers and a sister, all of normal height. His growth rate has increased since the age of 10 due to a tumor that stimulated too much release of somatotropin from his pituitary gland. The tumor was successfully removed and it was thought to have stopped growing in 2008, but more recent measurements have shown that it continued to grow for another 2 years, hence the need for additional surgery. He uses canes and tires quickly if he is standing on his feet.
Another contender for the title of the tallest man in the world is Ukrainian Leonid Stadniuk, who claims to be 10.5 centimeters taller than the Sultan. Stadniuk did not make the list because he refused to be measured by Guinness World Records officials. Photographic evidence of Leonid Stadniuk shows that he is approximately 7 feet 7 inches (231.1 cm) tall, 8 inches shorter than Sultan Kesen. Guinness Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday traveled to Turkey to personally validate Sultan Kesen's height to strict guidelines, measuring him three times in one day because the body expands and contracts throughout the day.
Having become a famous record holder, Sultan has since traveled to England, Germany, Austria, USA, Iceland, Spain, the Netherlands (twice), Belgium, Norway, Romania, Cuba (3 times), Hong Kong, Thailand and Brazil.
The average human height on planet Earth is 165 - 180 cm. Some representatives grow up to two meters without any health problems. Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornson eats eight meals a day and regularly wins strength competitions. However, when it comes to who is the biggest man in the world, photo you have to look not in sports newspapers, but in medical records. Let's get acquainted with the largest representatives of the human race.
Top - 10 giants among people
10. Yao Defen is the tallest woman in the world. A Chinese woman suffers from a pituitary tumor that causes continuous growth. Yao made a living working in the circus. After the operation, the girl stopped growing. By this time, the Chinese giantess managed to reach the mark of 233 cm.
9. Don Keleriz, Denton, Montana, USA, since 1969 was considered the highest man on Earth. An interesting fact is that the champion had a twin sister with a height of only 175 cm. Don's height was 249 cm and caused pain in the spine. He died in 1981 from heart disease.
8. Turk Sultan Kösen holds the title of the tallest man on the planet. The successful actions of the doctors made it possible to stop the abnormal growth at the level of 251 cm. He suffered from an overactive pituitary gland. Due to gigantism, Sultan could not finish school and became a farmer.
7. Veino Müllirinne was considered the biggest man in 1961 - 1963. At twenty, he was only 222 cm, and the Finn became the only giant to serve in the army. After forty years, Wayno's height began to increase and reached 251 cm. He died fourteen years later. During his lifetime, the Finn set another record - the span of the giant's arms was 4 m.
6. Treintje Keever is a native of the Netherlands of the 17th century, who was nicknamed the “Big Maiden”. It is impossible to know exactly her height, but, according to the surviving data, it was 257 cm. The parents took the girl to fairs and showed her for money as a curiosity. Keever died in 1633 from cancer. At that time, the tall girl was 17 years old.
5. Leonid Stadnik - a giant from Ukraine who did not want fame and increased attention. He never allowed the experts from the Guinness Book of Records to fix his height at 157 cm. last years life, he moved with difficulty, leaning on a cane. The giant died in 2014 from a cerebral hemorrhage.
4. American John Carroll's abnormal growth caused a curvature of the spine. For this reason, the doctors had to work hard to find out how tall he was. In a hunched state, the giant's height was 239 cm. However, doctors managed to measure his real height at 263 cm. John died in 1967, when he was 37 years old.
Three of the tallest people
3. Joe Rogan was born in the middle of the XIX century the twelfth child in a family of black slaves. Growing up, he earned his living: he was photographed and sold cards with his image at railway stations. Due to articular ankylosis, after a while, Joe moved, leaning on crutches. He died in 1905, and still remains the largest black man in history with a height of 268 cm, recorded by doctors.
2. Robert Widlow is an American born in 1918. The giant remains the tallest member of the Masonic lodge. The giant lived for 22 years. The cause of death was blood poisoning in the leg rubbed with crutches. Robert's grave was covered with concrete so that it would not occur to anyone to steal the body, whose height was 172 cm. He is officially recognized as the tallest representative of the human race in history.
1. According to some reports, the Russian peasant Fedor Andreevich Makhnov is the absolute champion among the giants. He was born into a poor family in 1878. Fedor's weight was 182 kg. The giant was distinguished by remarkable strength. In his life, Makhnov had to travel all over the world and even meet American President Roosevelt. But native places called back. Soon the giant Fedor settled in the present Grodno region of Belarus. The height of his wife Efrosinya was 215 cm. The couple had five children. At 34, Makhnov's life ended. According to one version, the cause was a lung disease. There were rumors that the giant was poisoned by envious people.
You can determine who is the largest person in the world by comparing photos with other people, or by referring to preserved medical data. For extraordinary growth, giants sometimes have to pay with their health. However, in the region of the two-meter mark, there are people who are distinguished by their strength and athletic physique. Perhaps this is the height that all the inhabitants of the Earth should ideally have. However, it is difficult for a big person to choose clothes and shoes, he often finds himself in the spotlight. Not everyone will like this. The life of a giant is full of difficulties and overcomings, but if you possess good health and train for a long time like Hafthor Bjornson, then you can even break the strength record of an Icelandic Viking of the 10th century for the first time in history.
Tall people, especially men, have always been considered the most attractive to the opposite sex. However, this figure is rather relative. If a person has a height that is much superior to other people, this will create psychological discomfort. He will also face many other inconveniences. The biggest problems will be the selection of clothes, shoes. The size of things is directly proportional to the height of a person, so tall people have to look for shirts and shoes that fit in size for a long time. On Earth there are people whose growth is much greater than the growth of those around them. Sometimes this is due to gigantism - pathological tallness that occurs due to a violation of growth hormone. In this case, elongation of the limbs is observed, which leads to an increase in growth, sometimes very significant. The parents of such people may be of normal average height. But this does not always happen, sometimes a person can be very tall and large in build. Usually such a property is inherited. Tall representatives of both sexes are often involved in sports such as basketball, volleyball, since it is there that they are in demand and can make a good career. Often these are representatives of the Negroid race, among them there are many large, tall men. In Russia, this feature is not so common. Cases when a person's height is much higher than those around him can be counted on the fingers.
Top 3 tallest people in Russia
- Fedor Makhnov: 285 cm.
- Nikolay Pankratov: 235 cm.
- Pavel Podkolzin: 226 cm.
Fedor Makhnov - the tallest man in the world
The tallest man ever living in Russia was Fedor Andreevich Makhnov, born at the end of the 19th century. He is recognized as the largest man of all times and peoples. Its growth is the largest not only in Russia, but also on the entire planet. This figure is documented as 2 meters 85 cm, which is much higher than the height of the tallest man in the world for 2019, Sultan Kesen, who is 251 cm. Fedor came from a poor family living in the Vitebsk region (tsarist Russia). In addition to him, the parents had 4 more children.
All his relatives were tall and quite large, which indicates the existence of a hereditary factor. However, none of the family was as big as Fedor. Residents of many settlements Russians of that time often had a height of about two meters, which was not considered surprising. As an example, one can point to the growth of Makhnov's wife, which reached 2 meters 15 centimeters. This is quite a lot for a woman, now girls whose body length is more than 175 cm are considered high. An indicator of 215 cm is very large even for a model or basketball player living in the territory modern Russia. The tallest woman in Russia in 2019 is Ekaterina Lisina, whose height is 206 centimeters (as you can see, she is even lower than Fyodor's wife).
Many historians testify that the people who lived earlier were larger and much larger than the current representatives. Despite the large size of both parents, Makhnov's children did not cross the 2-meter bar, although they were also quite high. Fedor was distinguished by unusual parameters from adolescence. As a young man, he had already reached 250 cm and continued to grow. By weight, the young man did not quite reach 200 kg. The young man was very strong. Fedor began to work in a circus that toured all over the planet, showing the biggest man from Russia and others. unusual people. This gave the young man the opportunity to see the world and earn a living. Having traveled around the planet, Fedor decided to start a family.
He married a local teacher, with whom he had five children. After the death of a man, his body was handed over to anthropologists for the purpose of research. In the homeland of Makhnov, in Vitebsk, competitions are regularly held where the tallest person is revealed. According to data for 2010, a man with a height of 2 meters 8 cm won, and the lady turned out to be the largest woman, only 2.5 cm short of 2 meters. From this we can conclude that even now this land is famous for giants.
Nikolai Pankratov - the biggest man in Russia for 2019
Nikolai Pankratov is the tallest man on this moment(2019) living in Russia. His height exceeds the two-meter bar by as much as 35 cm. The young man from the Chelyabinsk region is now 30 years old. He received the prestigious banking education to work in finance.
A few years ago, Nikolai underwent surgery on his legs. Doctors found that the limbs are experiencing a very large load, which caused the curvature of the joints. I had to be urgently hospitalized young man so that he does not lose the ability to move. In order for Nikolai to be able to stay in the hospital, a separate bed with an elongated bed had to be made for him. He also used custom-made crutches.

She has many awards proving her high professionalism. Katya inherited her penchant for sports, as well as her great height, from her parents.

Not all of these people have inherited gigantic stature from their parents. Some were born in an ordinary family, at first they were normal children with average indicators. For example, the leader of the list, Sultan Kesen. Both of his parents are of normal size. The Sultan began to grow very quickly after he was diagnosed with a disease of the pituitary gland. He could not even finish school, as it became difficult for him to move around. The man regularly undergoes treatment to stabilize the growth hormone. He is now married and a farmer. The biggest disadvantage of his peculiarity, Sultan considers the need to pick up things of a gigantic size. The difficulty is the choice of clothes, shoes. He needs size 62 boots. But he can easily process the tops of trees growing in his garden.

Many of the girls with non-standard figures play volleyball or basketball. These classes provide an opportunity to make a successful career, earn good money. Another popular business for such women is photo shoots for fashion magazines. Among the girls from this list, Eva Babezilla (a pseudonym) can be distinguished. Interestingly, at first it was a man whose name was William Irwin. The young man graduated from the College of Arts, as well as the Faculty of Economics. Then he changed sex, so there was Erica Irvine. She took place as a model, fitness trainer, actress. It should be noted that Erica's figure is quite proportional, and her facial features are attractive.
“Uncle-Styopa”, “Aunt, catch a sparrow” - these are perhaps the most affectionate nicknames that I can bestow on a person whose height is much higher than average. This is if the growth approaches the two-meter mark. But there are those who greatly exceed it. But the opinion of others is not the biggest problem that the tallest people on the planet face. Their courage and willpower can only be admired. Therefore, today we remember the most prominent people on the planet.
The height of this "giant from Russia" is 2 meters 85 centimeters. Think for a moment: there are many people in the world, almost half of it. Fedor is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest man in history.
He was born in 1878 in Stary Selo near Vitebsk. Unfortunately, his age was short - only 35 years. But this period was enough to be remembered by posterity for life. There is also "material evidence" - photographs of the giant. He toured a lot with the circus in Russia, Europe and even America, where he surprised everyone with his height, strength, and also played the harmonica.
When looking at the photographs of this man, the Lord of the Rings involuntarily comes to mind. Against its background, ordinary people look like half-hobbits. Not surprising, because his height is 2 meters 72 centimeters. He also did not stay too long in this world, having lived only 22 years. In 1940, he died due to blood poisoning. They caused a deadly disease at that time from abrasions from crutches, which he was forced to use constantly.
But during his short life, he managed a lot, including becoming a member of the Masonic Lodge. For his dedication, the jewelers had to make the largest ring in the history of the order. In addition, he began to study at the Faculty of Law, which at that time was the highest achievement. His parents insisted that his grave be concreted. This was the only way to prevent many who wished to get to know the remains of the American giant better.
The twelfth child in the family of a former slave from childhood struck his parents with his growth. It is impossible to know exactly the year of his birth, approximately 1865-1868. But the year of death is known - 1905. By this time, Joe had grown to 2 meters 68 centimeters. Despite the fact that more than a century has passed since his death, he is still considered the highest representative of the Negroid race.
Joe's family was very poor, and from the age of 13 he earned money by selling his portraits and taking pictures with those who wished for money. In this, he was not even hindered by crutches, on which he was forced to move due to a serious disease of the joints.
It is believed that the growth of this American was 2 meters 63 centimeters, but the data is not accurate, because he suffered from a severe form of curvature of the spine. But even this did not prevent him from towering over everyone around him by more than half a meter.
He managed to earn many nicknames: the Giant from Buffalo, Red Carroll, etc. By the way, John is a unique case of a combination of two causes of gigantism in one person, which is why he got such a huge growth.
Leonid is our contemporary, he died a little over a year ago - in 2014 from a brain hemorrhage. At that time he was 44 years old. A little, judging by the standards ordinary person, but compared to other giants, this is a great achievement.
Leonid got into the Guinness Book of Records several times, but did not want to attract undue attention of the press, so he limited contacts with journalists, including representatives of the Book. As a child, he was an ordinary child, but began to grow at the age of 12, after he suffered major surgery on the brain. Apparently, it was she who became the cause of the gigantism of the Ukrainian.
This Turk is the tallest person on Earth at the moment. He owes his height (2 meters 51 centimeters) to a pituitary tumor, which secretes those same growth hormones. Because of her, he did not stop growing, like all teenagers, but continued to grow.
He recently underwent a complex course of radiological and hormonal therapy in America. This made it possible to take the insidious tumor under control, and the Sultan stopped growing. However, even the height already gained was enough to make him move exclusively on crutches. But this does not prevent him from farming and even getting married.
His height is the same as that of the current living champion - 2 meters 51 centimeters. Like many giants, he grew gradually throughout his life. And if at the age of 21 he was 222 centimeters tall (which is much higher than the norm, but still not so critical), then by the age of 54 (at the time of death) he gained his final height.
Surprisingly, a person with such an unusual physiology was able to serve in the army. He was the tallest soldier ever. And he was remembered by his contemporaries and descendants with a span of arms that reached 3 meters.
This Canadian is already the third person with a height of 2 meters 51 centimeters. But, unlike others who suffered from a mass of diseases associated with such growth, he was physically strong and hardy. His main income was circus performances and weight lifting.
A rather typical, albeit ugly, story is connected with Edward. Doctors and biologists are ready to give a lot for the opportunity to study the body of such a giant, so after his death he was embalmed and turned into an exhibit at the University of Montreal. But after a series of litigation, it was nevertheless decided to cremate him and bury the ashes in the ground.
The human body is not the most perfect system; it is completely unsuitable for such loads. The giants suffer from joints, the spine, the heart and lungs do not work very well. There are other, more complex consequences of gigantism. Because of this, overly tall people rarely live to a ripe old age. But still, the strength of the spirit of people who were able to find their place in such a close world for them commands respect.
Tall people have always been considered more attractive. Those who are not gifted by nature with growth dream of growing up, but there are people whose growth does not stop throughout their lives. On request, the tallest man in the world, Wikipedia provides several pages real people, which will be discussed below.
The tallest people on the planet
Since September 2009, the tallest man in the world is officially Turkish Sultan Kösen, his height is 251 cm. As evidenced by the Guinness Book of Records, he is one of the ten people on the planet whose height is more than 244 cm. The young man reached such dimensions due to a brain tumor that promotes excessive production of growth hormones. The tumor has now been removed, hormone-control radiotherapy has been completed, and Kösen's growth has been halted. Due to health reasons, he did not finish high school and is engaged in farming. According to Sultan, growth not only does not cause him inconvenience, but also has some advantages - thanks to this feature, Kösen can screw in light bulbs, cut tall trees and perform other work without the help of high-altitude devices. He even recently got married. True, he can only move with the help of crutches.
The tallest man in the world in the photo
The predecessor of the Turkish "Goliath" was a 64-year-old Chinese shepherd Bao Xishun from the province of Inner Mongolia, who has held this title since 2005 with a height of 236 cm. Dimensions also once played into his hands - Bao rescued two dolphins from the ocean park by removing foreign objects from their stomachs. In this he was helped by the length of his arms - 1 m 06 cm. Xishun is married to a woman of ordinary height - a saleswoman from Chifeng. Only 2 mm did not "hold out" to his parameters Tunisian Radhuan Charbib to also become the largest man on Earth.
In 2007, a Ukrainian veterinarian was recognized as the "most important giant" of the planet. Leonid Stadnik from Zhytomyr region. His height was 2 m 53 cm. Unfortunately, in August 2014, at the age of 44, he died. At the age of 13, Leonid was also diagnosed with a benign brain tumor, which was unsuccessfully removed, as a result of which metabolism and secretion were disturbed. This led to rapid growth from the age of 14, which has practically not stopped since then. The man later underwent several more operations, which were also not successful. Also, while working as a veterinarian on a collective farm and not being able to buy shoes of the right size, Stadnik got frostbite on his feet and became disabled. Since 2001, he was forced to leave his job. Several Ukrainian entrepreneurs bought him a computer with Internet access and a satellite dish at their own expense, and they also ordered a special block so that Leonid could make shoes. The giant's clothing size was 70, and shoes - 62. By the way, he also had the largest hand with a palm length of 31 cm.
In 2008, the Chinese Xishun again began to be considered the tallest man on Earth, because Leonid Stepanovich Stadnik abandoned the annual measurement procedure in order to confirm the growth record. He explained this by his unwillingness to draw too much attention to his personality.
The Pakistani has the same height (253 cm) Ajaz Ahmet, which also has the largest shoe size - 74 (only this fact was registered by the Guinness Book of Records).
Another “Gulliver” (2 m 46 cm), who did not officially register his height, is a Chinese basketball player who has already ended his career due to a serious leg injury Zhao Liang.
The tallest man in Russia is a Soviet basketball player of the 80s Alexander Sizonenko, whose height was approaching 244 cm. Unfortunately, in 2012, the famous basketball player died.
But what about the "weaker sex"? The highest growth recorded in women, has a resident of Shelbville (USA) actress Sandra Ellen Allen. It is 232 cm. Another giantess is also known - the Soviet (year of birth - 1952) with a height of 213 cm, who became the world champion (3 times), the European champion (11 times) and twice the Olympic champion,
A little lower - a native of Chelyabinsk, born in 1980 - 2m 06 cm. The athlete has the title of European champion (1999 and 2001) and a three-time champion of Russia. She also won silver at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics. She also has the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 2nd class.
But the largest human height, which is officially listed in the Guinness Book of Records, is 272 cm. An American youth had him Robert Wadlow. The tallest man on earth died in 1940 at age 22. He too had a pituitary tumor and a disease called acromegaly. He weighed 199 kg, had a palm length of 32.4 cm and a foot length of almost 50 cm. Robert was very popular, which he liked. During his short life, Wadlow studied law at the university, managed to travel almost the entire country with the circus and participated in public performances, although he also moved on crutches. They buried Robert, nicknamed " kind giant"40 thousand Americans, and the grave was concreted at the request of relatives.
4 cm below him John Rogan, a black American who died in 1905. The female record growth is also known - 247 cm. It belonged to a Chinese girl Zheng Zhinliang who died in 1982 at age 17.
Lastly, it is worth mentioning Fyodor Andreevich Makhnov and his wife Efrosinya Lebedeva, Russian peasants who lived at the end of the 19th century in the Vitebsk province. Fedor claims to be the tallest man in Istria, his height Fedor is 2 m 85 cm, with a palm length of 32 cm, a foot length of 51 cm and a weight of 182 kg. Efrosinya's height is 2 m 15 cm. Five of their children were almost 2 meters tall. Fedor died at the age of 34. The cause of death was officially recognized as lung disease, but there was also talk of the poisoning of the giant by rivals and envious people. Of course, these data are also not officially registered, but documentary evidence of the existence of a family of giants exists.
Also, in continuation of the topic, we suggest looking at who.
