KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 — With the legs of Russian beauty Ekaterina Lisina, they do go on forever.

At 2.06 metres (6ft 9in), she once held the Guinness World Record for longest legs, which measures 1.295 metres (4ft 3in) long.

As far as anyone can tell, she’s the world’s tallest professional model.

She also has the biggest female feet in Russia.

Lisina, 35, owes it all to her family’s genetics as not a single member clocks in under 1.8 metres.

Lisina’s son is already much taller than his peers and he hasn’t even reached puberty.

Before turning to modelling in her mid-20s, she enjoyed a successful career as a professional basketball player.

Her incredible skills on the court led her to winning bronze with her country at the 2008 Olympics before retiring.

While her height is impressive to many people, when it comes to dating, it’s not always a smooth experience.

She admits her height often causes conflict as many men are understandably intimidated.

Still, she attracts admiring looks wherever she goes and boasts a following of 1.1 million fans on Instagram.

On TikTok she has 9.5 million followers.

Lisina is currently based in Los Angeles where she continues to work as a model and recently took part in the Miss European Universe beauty pageant.
