| Rumeysa Gelgi |
Her name is Rumeysa Gelgi, a 17-year-old girl from Turkey who stands about 7ft tall. She has been awarded the World's tallest female teenager by Guinness World Record.
Actually, her height is being caused by a rare condition called Weaver Syndrome (a genetic disorder that causes fast growth.) but her parents and siblings are all normal; not as tall as she is.
Upon receiving the award, she said:
"I like being different from everyone else. It’s interesting and makes me feel special. It also provides me with easy access to high places, and looking down at people from above isn’t a bad thing either."
Her new record will be featured in the 2015th Guinness World Book of Records.
