Story of the record-holding women

Jyoti Amge was born in 1993 in India and has a congenital condition that leads to dwarfism. In 2009, when she was 15 years old, she became the shortest teenager among women according to the Guinness World Records, with a height of only 61.95 cm.

Rumeysa Gelgi was born in 1997 in Turkey and suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Weaver syndrome, which affects growth and skeletal shape. Despite this, she has become a successful lawyer and speaker. She also holds many other records, such as the largest hands, the longest back, and the largest ears among women.

This issue also announced the record for the youngest artist in the world - a two-year-old boy from Ghana, as well as the oldest man - British John Tinniswood, who was then 111 years and 223 days old.
