14 DAY TRIAL // A high school basketball coach living in Virginia is now making headlines, all thanks to her being the proud owner of the world's longest female legs.
Should the picture above fail to convince you that Svetlana Pankratova does indeed have an incredibly long pair of legs, here are the numbers: this basketball coach measures a total of 6 feet and 5 inches in height (roughly 1.94 meters), of which the legs take up a whopping 4 feet and 4 inches (about 1.31 meters).
According to Bleach Report, Svetlana's legs used to cause her much grief, especially when she was a child living in her native Volgograd, Russia.
As the basketball coach told members of the press, her peers would often poke fun at her for being so tall. “It wasn’t easy because kids do tease you.” Svetlana Pankratova said.
“They tease whenever something is – I wouldn’t say not normal – but when something is different. So I would get teased a lot for being tall,” she later added.
Needless to say, Svetlana is nothing if not gifted when it comes to playing basketball, and even holds two records: one for the most shots blocked in a season (i.e. 75), and one for the most shots blocked in the school's history (i.e. 176).
