Tall girl once called ‘giraffe’ now says she’s the ‘leggiest’ woman in America

Unsurprisingly, it seems that it comes from a filtering of tall genes down the family line. Ekaterina’s mom is 6ft 1in, while her father stands at 6ft 5in. With her long legs, Ekaterina stands at 6ft 9in tall.

This record-holder was actually a professional basketball player and played for Russia in Beijing in 2008. Now, she has a career in modeling, which she loves and enjoys. There seems to be a theme here. She also holds the record for the tallest professional model.
