Karan Singh, a schoolboy from Meerut, India who measures a whopping 6ft
6in is believed to be the world’s tallest eight-year-old.
Karan weighed 7.8 kg and was over 63 cm in length. So that got him into the record books instantly.
“Then, when he was five-years-old, he got the record for being the tallest toddler. He is eight now and I want to get him into the Guinness Records again,” said Sanjay whose son is already his height.
Karan despite the growth is still shorter than his mum Shweatlana, 33, a basketball player who has represented India in numerous national and international sports events. She is 7ft 2 ins
Although it’s not clear what has caused their lofty height, there is the possibility that both mum and son have an excess of the growth hormone.
Sanjay said: “We take Karan to an endocrinologist regularly. Until now, the tests have not shown any problems and everything is normal. Karan has a good stamina and has no internal problems.
