6ft 9in Woman Bids To Be World’s Tallest Model

Former basketball Olympic medalist Ekaterina Lisina has a new target in her sights - being named the world’s tallest model. Standing at 6ft 9in in her bare feet, Ekaterina, from Penza, Russia, has already been named the tallest woman in Russia. After retiring from basketball, the leggy beauty launched a career in modeling and now believes she is the world’s tallest model.

The 29-year-old Russian beauty has won fans all over the world, thanks to her striking height. Many of said fans are men with a penchant for tall, “Amazonian” woman, preferably with big feet. Because of her stature, Ekaterina has trouble finding wardrobe for her 6 foot 9 inch frame, mostly pants, jeans and shoes. Her feet have officially been recognized as the biggest in Russia, with a European size of 47, or a men's US size 13.

The current record for world's tallest model is held by Amazon Eve, who is 6 feet 8 inches tall, making Ekaterina the sure contender to snatch that title. Ekaterina also is the proud owner of the world's longest pair of legs, measuring 52.4 inches, which is also longer than the current record holder.
Ekaterina doesn't shy away from the attention she's been getting so far; in fact, she hopes that by winning these two titles, she will be getting even more attention.
