Now, according to the Guinness World Records Gelgi has made three more world records. This makes her the recipient of five world records.</p>
<p>
The three new records include having the longest fingers (female). Her longest finger measures 11.2 cm. She also holds the record for &ldquo;largest hands on a living person&rdquo; (female), with her right hand measuring 24.93 centimetre and the left hand measuring up to 24.26 cm.</p>
<p>
Besides this, she has the longest back (female) in the world with a length of 59.9 cm.</p>
<p>
Way back in 2014, when Gelgi was just 18, she was declared as the world&rsquo;s tallest teenager.</p>
<p>
The reason why Gelgi is extremely tall is because of Weaver syndrome which is a very rare syndrome that causes several abnormalities including the accelerated growth of one&rsquo;s skeletal.</p>
<p>
Gelgi after creating three more new records told the Guinness World Records: &ldquo;Words can&rsquo;t even describe how excited and happy I feel right now. My family and people around me are very supportive. Being the only woman with this kind of height, makes me feel very special.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
She sincerely hopes that her story and records will make more people aware of Weaver Syndrome and make them sensitive and empathic too.</p>
