What then to talk about people, which for one or another reasons are attributed to the categories of personal identities, for example, thanks to an overly high or low increase. We have prepared material about the highest pair in the world, as well as about those men and women who have been honored before.
Giant love and tragedy
Before talking about a pair, officially engaged in the title of the highest, it is worth making an excursion to the story and tell about the family of giants who lived much earlier. Martin Wang Buren and Anna Haining Bates, despite the fact that the lives of these people have been interrupted for more centuries ago, still remain the most famous family among couples of unusually high growth, whose love story turned out to be overshadowed by tragic events. However, the joint happiness, which lasted a little over 17 years, was great.Anna Zonon
Zapon - here, under such a poetic surname in August 1846, Anna was born, who forced his own mother to "work out", producing such a large lady to work: the girl weighed more than 7 kilograms. "It grew not by day, but by the hour" - familiar from childhood phrase, often applied towards fabulous characters, fully describes the young years of the future greetings.
Anna Hayning has already caught up for an increase in his own mother, and to the 15th anniversary and rustled to the 15th anniversary 210 cm. However, it did not become a limit for a girl - continuing to grow higher and higher, he soon reached growth in 243 cm When retarding the normal proportions of the body.
Anna's own dissimilar to other people managed to "set down to the case" - Already at 16 years old, the American showman Phineas Taylor Barnum, who spent the role of entrepreneur, who suggested Lady-Giant to try his happiness on the arena of his circus. Svon thanks to the circus career received a chance at a young age to move from the county city to New York.
Martin Van Buren
The future spouse Anna Hening, Martin Van Buren, was born in 1837 and under 7 years old did not stand out among the peers. However, on the eighth year, the situation has changed - the boy began to rapidly stretch. At the age of 14, the guy could have boasting an impressive 210 cm from the top of the top to pee and an impressive mass of 140 kg. Soon the growth of a young man reached and at all 241 cm.
The profession for himself Martin chose peaceful - he began to work as a teacher. It is possible that it would be so engaged in the upbringing of future generations, if the civil war-started in the United States - Bates went to the front to join the ranks of confederates. During the military actions, a man managed to become famous as a "giant with a force of fifty people" and reach the captain. После возвращения с полей сражений продолжать карьеру педагога, учитывая собственные физические показатели, Мартин ван Бюрен Бейтс посчитал «расточительным» и малодоходным. And he joined the stray circus like which in large quantities it was wheelchair in the unburses of the United States in those years. "Kentukksky giant" - under the name of the name Martin performed on the circus arena, where he met Anna.
About love and tragedy
Circus guide did not miss the chance who fell to their share - to get two giants at once in the troupe. So the acquaintance Martin and Anna was predetermined - they met on the Manege to depict, according to the scenario of the show, a married couple. However, the fictitious stage marriage remained a short time - young people loved each other and played a wedding in June 1871. A year later, in 1872, they took up the construction of a family nest. The dimensions of the house built were under the owners - the ceilings with a height of 4.3 meters, and the door passes were not forced to begged among high married couples.
Unfortunately, the firstborn, whom Anna gave birth in May 72nd, appeared to the world. It turned out to be a serious blow to spouses, but they did not leave the attempts to have children. In 1878, Anna re-prevented the 10-kilogram baby, who was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest baby and kept this title until 1955. However, to live a newborn giant was able to only 11 hours. After the next shock, the family couple left attempts to acquire offspring.
In 1888, Anna Hening Bates, nee Swan, died. To the 42nd age, the woman has already suffered from the mass of diseases that the health of gigantssees suggested, but the cause of death was tuberculosis. But Martin died only in 1919, having lived a record for his diagnosis of 82 years, and even managed to re-marry an ordinary woman.
Giants of our time
Until 2015, these spouses wore the title "The highest married couple in the world." We are talking about Wayne and Lori Hellkovistah from California, whose total growth is 407.1 cm. In 2003, a spark rank at first sight in the "Club of lonely hearts" in the "Club of Single Hearts". Officially, the record was recorded in 2010 - emphasizing the solemnity of the moment, Hellkovists arrived in wedding clothes: Wayne put on a fracture, and Laurie is a snow-white wedding dress.
From the pressing problems, the spouses celebrate only difficulties with the choice of clothing - find suitable outfits for both are problematic, so you have to often contact workshops on tailoring, which entails additional costs. Also, there are also difficult difficulties with door passages that are clearly not intended to skip such giants, but the inability to find a normal bed that will allow fully pulled out the legs.
However, in the rest of Lori and Wayne satisfied, happy and do not see reasons for sadness. And although the husband and his wife often appear on the ether of all kinds of television shows, most of their own personal life are still preferred to leave behind the scenes.
Out of competition
In five years, in September 2015, the "Table of Leaders" was updated. This time, the "winners Cup" in the competition for the title of the highest pair moved to the Middle Kingdom and remains there until now.
The last "winners" in the nomination "The tallest pair in the world" were Sun Minmin and Xu Yan from China. The joint growth of spouses, introduced in 2009, is 423.47 cm, and 236.17 of them come to her husband. However, the wife is not lagging behind - even by European standards, it is 187.3 cm for a woman look impressive that then talking about the Chinese, which are difficult to call the rolling nation.
Both spouse professionally play sports: Sun Minmin - basketball, and Xu Yan - handball. Actually, at the National Couple Competitions and met, and four years later, in 2013, signed. "Sports Chid" falls in everyday life to face all sorts of difficulties, ranging from door jambs and transport and ending with public opinion. However, lovers learned to support each other, because they understand what happened to each of them.
So, according to Xu Yan, due to the specifics of the local mentality, the girl has not met anyone. The man below her growth in the family would not take, but to find such a big partner as the lady itself, in China turned out to be a difficult task. However, even Xu Yan, who purposefully searched for a life satellite among those guys that her higher, could not imagine that the chosen one would eventually be so greeted. Spouses continue to the sports career and do not seek to "glow" once again in the media.
By the way, Sun Minmin in 2007 was listed on the highest people on earth. Also, this athlete managed in 2012 to win the title of China Champion of Basketball as part of Bajin Daks. And the Giant was filmed in various television shows dedicated to the giants, even before the familiarity with his wife, and even participated in the design of the tricks in the film "Hour Peak 3", in which Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were shot.
