The girl named Maci Currin is 6 feet and 10 inches tall and has replaced Russian basketball Ekaterian Lisina off the top spot with her right leg measuring 134.3 cm and a left leg which is 135.3 cm long.
The teenager is a resident of Austin, Texas and aspires to become a model in the future. She says there are some negatives to having long legs but she has embraced her height and appearance.
¡°There are definitely negatives to having such long legs ¨C hitting your head walking through doors, getting into cars, trying to find clothes that fit. Don¡¯t hide it, embrace it,¡± she said.
Maci comes from a family of tall people. Her father, Cameron, is 6 feet 5 inches tall and her brother, Jacob, is 6 feet 3 inches tall. In fact, the teenager reached a height of 5 feet 7 inches when she was just nine years old.
Maci currently has the longest legs in the world, but she has to grow a few inches to take the spot of the tallest living woman, that is currently held by Sun Fang from China. She stands tall at 7ft 3in.
According to Guinness World Records, Maci wants to attend university in the United Kingdom.

One can tell from Maci's Instagram feed that she has absolutely embraced her height and it does not look like she lets it become a problem for her. Accepting yourself the way you are when the world tells you otherwise is one of the most difficult things to do. However, once you accept yourself and the fact that certain parts about you and your life cannot change, great things will happen to you.
Being a teenager herself, Maci is setting a great example for those who struggle with their appearance because of societal norms.
