9 female giants, whose existence is hard to believe

Have you ever met the tallest woman in the world? Not just very, very high, but a giant? No, these are not jokes at all, and there is absolutely nothing funny about the history of these women. If you are at least curious about who these 9 women (although it is difficult to call them, because they are the highest women on Earth), just keep reading. We guarantee that you will be shocked!

Yao Defen (China)

The growth of Yao Defen was 2 m 34 cm, which gave her the official status "The highest woman in the world." Yao was born in a poor Chinese family and grew like all normal children, until she started eating three times more than all her peers. By the age of 11, her height was already 1 m 88 cm. Like most cases of gigantism, her incredible height was caused by a brain tumor. Yao managed to live a more or less happy life and died at the age of 40 (in 2012). It should be noted that this happens quite often in such anomalous situations.

Margot Didek (Poland)

This woman was the most famous Polish basketball player with a height of 2.18 m. Margot went down in history as the highest female basketball player in the world. Unfortunately, in 2011 she suffered a heart attack and died leaving her husband with two sons who currently reside in Brisbane, Australia.

Mali Duangdi (Thailand)

Until August 2016, she was the tallest woman in Thailand and the second - in all of Asia. Her height was 2.08 m. Unfortunately, her growth played a cruel joke with her, because the higher the person, the more likely he is to get a heart attack. So it happened with Mali - she died of a heart attack.

San Feng (China)

The girl was born in 1987 and is currently the tallest woman in China and around the world, since her height is 2.21 m. San Feng is in fact often mistaken for Yao Defen, because they are very similar.

Alicia Jay (United States)

The growth of this lady is also shocking - 1.98 m. She is the most famous fashion blogger, also became popular as the highest virgin in the world. As she says, it's very difficult for her to get acquainted with guys, since they are often much lower than her, and this creates certain inconveniences. Many people are surprised that she is still a virgin, but Alicia just waits for her prince on a white horse. Some people assume that in a couple of years her story can become a movie for the Disney studio.

Rumeisa Gelgi (Turkey)

Doctors diagnosed a rare disorder in the girl, known as Weaver's syndrome, which causes rapid growth. And now she is known as the tallest teenager in the world, her height is 2.13 m. Some people who do not have such data say that she was blessed and envy her growth, but in fact she already uses canes because It is very difficult for her to move independently. Believe me, there is absolutely nothing to be jealous of!

Elisani Silva (Brazil)

This is an 18-year-old Brazilian model, whose growth is 2.06 m. Although she is still a teenager, she already plans a wedding and, of course, very much wants to have children. Elisani is concerned that she may have problems due to a tumor that she had earlier, but adoption for her is still not an option.

Ulyana Semenova (Soviet Union)

Ulyana Semenova - the legendary Soviet-Latvian basketball player of the 70-80s of the last century. She won several championships in the Soviet Union and Europe, and also took gold medals for the USSR in 1976 and 1980 at the Olympic Games. Ulyana's height is 2.10 m. This, of course, is not the highest basketball player, but she had the biggest shoe size - 21 (USA) / 58 (EU)!

Zeng Jinlian (China)

And finally, the tallest woman who ever lived on this planet is Zeng Jinliang. There were only 17 people in the world who achieved growth of 2.44 m, and Zeng Jinlian - the only woman among them. Unfortunately, she did not even live long enough to celebrate her 18th birthday. She died in 1982, at the age of 17, her height was 2.49 m.
