[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] A 17-year-old girl from the United States has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the woman with the longest legs in the world. The length of her legs exceeds 134 cm.

According to CNN and other media on the 11th (local time), Marcy Currin, who lives in Cedar Park, Texas, set Guinness records in two categories: 'Woman with the Longest Legs' and 'Teenager with the Longest Legs.' According to Guinness World Records, the UK-based world record certification organization, her left leg measures 143.5267 cm, and her right leg measures 134.4 cm.

Currin's height is 208.3 cm, with her leg length accounting for about 60% of her height. Currin's father is 195.6 cm tall, and her mother is 170.2 cm. Guinness World Records explained, "Her family members are relatively tall, but none as tall as Currin."

Currin revealed that she first realized her legs were longer than others when she went to buy leggings in 2018 and found there was no size that fit her.

Currently, Currin has 1.7 million followers on TikTok and 50,000 followers on Instagram. She confessed that the public attention to her long legs was burdensome and bothersome, but at some point, she decided to ignore such attention. She said, "Since my sophomore year of high school, I decided not to care about the attention on my height. After that, nothing affected me."

Currin stated that she faces difficulties passing through doorways, getting into cars, or finding clothes that fit, but she also has advantages such as being on the volleyball team, and there are benefits to being tall. She added, "Being tall is a gift for women. I hope tall people are not ashamed and accept themselves."
