A new contender for world’s tallest man has been discovered in China, after he attended hospital for surgery. The BBC reported that Zhao Liang was measured at 2.46m (just under 8ft 1in) by doctors in Tianjin, where the ex-basketball player was being treated for a foot injury. It puts him 10cm (3.9in) above the official title-holder, fellow Chinese, Bao Xishun.
Zhao, 27, is now seeking official recognition of his stature. However his parents – who are of average height – have other concerns.
“I am so worried about his marriage, job and his health that my hair has turned white,” his mother, Wang Keyun, was quoted telling Xinhua.
