The Ukrainian boy won the highest rank in the world

A Ukrainian veteran has just been enrolled in Guinness with the highest title in the world. He is more than the person holding the record 22cm.

Leonid Stadnyk, 37 years old in central Ukraine, is 2.57m tall. He started to grow taller when he was 14 after a brain surgery. The former holder of this throne was Bao Xishun, China, 2.36m tall.

Stadnyk's parents are only 1.73m and 1.52m tall, living in a small village 209 km from Kiev. When I was a kid, I didn't really do anything great.

However, after the surgery, Stadnyk began to grow up. By the time he started working for the clinic, it was 1 hour by bicycle from the house, Stadnyk was 2.03m high. Gradually, he grew to the point where he could not ride a bicycle, had to use a bus. Finally, he had to ride a horse-drawn carriage because he could not get on the bus. Stadnyk quit his job six years ago after his leg ached because he couldn't find the right shoe. He now takes care of her mother's herds and grows vegetables.

But Stadnyk is still not the tallest person in the world in history. Robert Wadlow, Illinois, USA, 2.72m high when he died in 1940.
