A 17-year-old girl from Turkey who stands at
7ft tall has been officially declared the
world's tallest female teenager.
Rumeysa Gelgi who has a standing height of
213.6 cm (7ft 0.09 in), received the Guinness
World Record award in a special presentation
in her hometown of Safranbolu, Karabük.
Rumeysa is an 11th grade high school student
and lives at home with her parents and older
siblings, who are all ‘normal’ height.
Her height is caused by a condition called
Weaver Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder
that causes rapid growth.
