Lisina holds two world records—the record for the woman with the longest legs, and for the tallest professional model—and had appeared in the Guinness World Records 2018. She also has been officially recognized as having the biggest feet of any woman in Russia.
Throughout her basketball career, she competed for the Russian National Team at the 2008 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal.
In her bare feet, Lisina stands 2.06 m tall (6 ft 9 in). In 2014, she ended her professional basketball career and became a professional model and is founder of "World's Tallest Models" modeling agency.
“I only really realized I was attractive when I was about 24 years old,” she said. “I always had an athletic body and was always much taller than everyone else my age, but then I realized that being tall is very attractive.”
“It can be funny when you are sitting and someone comes up to you and doesn’t expect you to be so tall, then I stand up and I can see the reaction on their faces.”
As it stands, Lisina is an Olympic medal-winning, Guinness World Record-holding, professional model with over 200,000 followers on Instagram.
In the end, the long-limbed Russian made her lifelong dream come true — after being awarded one of the most prestigious medals in sports one could possibly hope to win.
