Svetlana Pankratova, woman with the world’s longest female legs, is now a high school basketball coach!
The former Russian women’s basketball player is now an assistant coach at Falls Church (Va.) George Mason High, but she’s more popular with her long legs than her skills as a coach.
Officially, Pankratova’s legs stretch 4-feet-4, more than two-thirds of her 6-foot-5 frame.
This is what she said on being teased about her height and did not think about her legs at all:
“It wasn’t easy because kids do tease you. 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. I just never paid attention to my legs.”
A friend first brought up the possibility that she could have the world’s longest female legs. From there, it took six years of documentation before the suspicion was confirmed.
