Rumeys Gelgi's name was first entered into the Guinness Book of Records ten years ago when she was recognized as the world's tallest teenage female.
Over the next 10 years, she continued to set new records, and her biography already contains an impressive list of achievements.
In addition to being recognized as the tallest woman in the world, Rumeys Gelgi is known for other records.
At the moment, 27-year-old Gelgi has set 9 records, all thanks to her height.
However, she owes all her achievements to a rare disease – Weaver syndrome.

In addition, the record holder has amazing hearing - she can hear people whispering in other rooms.
