New tallest man in the world was officially crowned. But well, what caught my eyes wasnt about this new guy but the former one, Stadnyk.
A scrap from the article i read:
LONDON – A towering Turk was officially crowned the world's tallest man Thursday after his Ukrainian rival dropped out of the running by refusing to be measured.
Guinness World Records said that 8 foot 1 inch (2.47 meter) Sultan Kosen, from the town of Mardin in eastern Turkey, is now officially the tallest man walking the planet. Although the previous record holder, Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk, reportedly measured 8 feet 5.5 inches (2.57 meters), Guinness said he was stripped of his title when he declined to let anyone confirm his height.
Stadnyk, 39, told The Associated Press he refused to be independently measured because he was tired of being in the public eye.
"If this title had given me more health or a few extra years, I would have taken it, but the opposite happened, I only wasted my nerve cells," he said.
"If I have to choose between prosperity and calm, I choose calm."
I remember i read somewhere, no matter positive or negative publicity, all publicity is good.
But what can publicity gives you? i m definitely agree with this Stadnyk, "prosperity and calm? i choose calm" :D i like him he is tall and cool~
