Fresh contender for world’s tallest man discovered in China
Zhao Liang was measured at 2.46m (just under 8ft 1in) by doctors in Tianjin, where the ex-basketball player was being treated for a foot injury.
It puts him 10cm (3.9in) above the official titleholder, Chinese citizen Bao Xishun, who was first recognised by Guinness World Records in 2005.
