The girl's height is 205,74 cm, and her legs are almost 133 cm long - both are included in the Guinness Book of Records. The height of Ekaterina's mother is 185 cm, her father is 196 cm, and her brother is 198 cm. Lisina herself comments on her victory as follows: “I am so excited, because I have been trying to break these records for months. I've been measured so many times! ”
According to Catherine, all her life she has been stared at on the streets. “In Russia, they don't ask for a photo or an autograph, they just stop and look in silence. It's very funny to watch the reaction of people, when someone enters the room, you get up ... and they don't expect you to be so tall. "
When Katya was growing up, she had to wear men's shoes because of the very long foot of 14 American size. The girl could not find feminine and beautiful shoes, and, as a teenager, never wore heels.
Ekaterina Lisina won a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 as part of the Russian basketball team. Now she works as a model for brands that sew clothes for tall women. Catherine drives the Nissan Murano 2009 of the year, the only car with enough space for her long legs.
