According to Guinness World Records, the longest female legs measuring 132 cm (51.9 in) belong to Russian native Svetlana Pankratova.
Svetlana, who is a 6-foot-5, is an assistant coach for the George Mason High School girls' basketball team. Before becoming a coach in Falls Church, the lady with the longest legs in the world "also played basketball in Portugal, Israel, and Spain before retiring in 2000," wrote CBS DC in a news report on March 11, 2013.
While having the longest legs was an advantage in kindergarten, it became a disadvantage in high school. Svetlana claims that life as a teenager with the longest legs "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 never thought about it when I was growing up," Pankratova was quoted as saying. "I just never paid attention to my legs."
According to Guinness World Records, it was on July 8, 2003, in Torremolinos, Spain, that Svetlana Pankratova's legs were verified to be the world's longest legs.
