29-years-old Ekaterina Lisina has a new goal in life, which is to be named as the tallest model in the world.
The former Olympics basketball medalist from Russia without shoes on is 6ft 9inches tall.
It should be noted that she has officially been named the tallest woman in Russia.
Her striking height has won her fans all over the world and many of them are men with a penchant for taller “Amazonian” women with big feet .
It should be noted that her great height also propelled her to great success as a professional basketball.
She has retired from playing basketball
Ekaterina explained that when she was 16, she wanted to become a model but she decided to choose basketball first.
She is now retired from basketball where she played for different teams in the Russian Premier League and she also represented the Russia women’s teams at the 2008 Olympics where she and her team won Olympic bronze.
She has launched a career in modeling and believes that she is now the world tallest model.
According to her, “The record is held at the moment by Amazon Eve and she is 6ft 8in, which is smaller than me.
She added, “I really want to be in the book of world records as the world’s tallest model. I also think I have a chance to be awarded the world’s longest legs. My legs are around 52.4 inches, which is longer than the current record holder.”
She thinks being tall is awesome and according to her, “If I had an option of adding about four centimeters to my height I’d certainly agree to do that.”
