Why ride the subway? With legs that long it probably doesn’t take Svetlana Pankratova much time at all to walk a mile.
Pankratova – the woman with the world’s longest legs – toured around Manhattan yesterday. Here she is in New York’s Times Square shortly after a Guinness World Records supervisor confirmed the measurement of her legs. At 6 foot 5 inches tall, Pankratova, of Russia, has legs 51.9 inches tall (nearly 4 feet 4 inches).
In September, Pankratova met the world’s shortest man.
