It’s every parent’s dream that their children end up taller than them. But what if they go over the expectations? Such is the case of 14-year-old Ren Keyu (nickname name Xiaoyu), who hails from Sichuan Province, China and has received the Guinness World Records (GWR) title for the tallest male teenager.
He was asked to report to Leshan People’s Hospital and was measured three times throughout the day. GWR requires that measurements include standing height, lying height, hand length, hand span, foot length, foot width, arm span, and half-arm span. After GWR reviewed the measurements submitted, it was confirmed and announced that Xiaoyu is officially the world’s tallest male teenager at 221.03 cm or 7 ft. and 3.02 inches.
