World's Tallest, Shortest Men Meet In London

 
The world's tallest man, Sultan Kosen and world's shortest man, Chandra Bahadur came face to face (shin in this case) last Thursday, November 13.
Sultan Kosen from Turkey, who stands at
2.51 metres (six feet, nine inches) tall, met with Chandra Bahadur Dangi from Nepal who measures just 55 centimetres (21 and a half inches) to celebrate the 10th annual Guinness World Records Day in London.
"I was very interested how tall he was going to be, about how far up my legs he would go, and of course once I saw him I realised how tiny he was," Kosen told AFP.
He said meeting Chandra was "amazing", although he admitted bending the long, long way down for photographs was difficult.
"I do have problems with my knees so if I stand too long I do get tired," he said.
Kosen added: "Even though he is short and I am tall, we have had similar struggles throughout our lives and when I look into Chandra's eyes I can see he is a good man."
"I was very pleased to see the tallest man in the world, I was curious to meet my extreme opposite,"  Chandra Bahadur Dangi told AFP
