Maci Currin, a 17-year-old girl from Texas, has broken the Guinness World Record for having the world's longest legs and the longest legs on a teenager. She is 6 ft 10 and her legs make up 60 per cent of her total height.
She surpassed the record held by Ekaterina Lisina (Russia) whose right leg measured 132.2cm, and her left 132.8cm. Maci, who is 6ft 10in, hopes her record will inspire tall women across the world, and the advice she would pass to others with a unique physical attribute would be “don’t hide it, embrace it”.
