• Rumeysa Gelgi was named the tallest living teenager in 2014.
• At 7 feet and 0.7 inches, she is the tallest woman in the world.

Rumeysa Gelgi was named the tallest living teenager by Guinness World Records in 2014. In October 2021, she was also named the tallest living woman. Now, she holds three more world records: for having the longest fingers, the longest back, and the longest hands.

She has broken the record for being the tallest woman alive. At 7 feet and 0.7 inches, she is the tallest woman in the world. Now, it has been confirmed that Rumeysa, who is from Turkey, has the longest fingers.

They are 4.4 inches long. Her back is the longest of anyone who is still alive. It is 23.58 inches long (female).

Her right hand is 9.81 inches long, and her left hand is 9.55 inches long. This makes her the person with the largest hands on a living person (female).

Rumeysa Gelgi is not the first woman to ever be taller than anyone else. Before her, the record for the tallest woman ever was held by Zeng Jinlian of China. Before she died, she was 8 feet and 1 inch tall.

Rumeysa’s fast growth is because she has Weaver syndrome, which was found early on. She has trouble walking, breathing, bending her joints, and doing other things because of this rare condition. She walks or gets around with the help of a wheelchair.

She told her fans about what she had done on Instagram. She wrote, “That’s a wrap for our 7-day long filming with the Guinness World Record. Worked with an amazing team, met some incredible people, had so much fun, made new friends, collected memories that will last for a lifetime and more… All coming very soon👀 Keep your eyes peeled for Guinness World Record platforms!!”.

Earlier, she also wrote on Instagram, “I was born with extreme physical uniqueness and wanted to have as much of them recognized and celebrated as possible, hoping to inspire and encourage others with visible differences to do the same thing and be themselves”.

She is the only one in her family who is taller than average, standing at 7 feet and 0.7 inches.
