Experts agree that if the girl continues to pursue a sports career, then she will have a bright future. Nevertheless, psychologists warn that a large difference in height with peers can cause problems in social life, so they ask to protect the young athlete from ridicule.

Meanwhile, one of the tallest people in the world spoke about the difficulties associated with growth. He is fighting for life in a London orphanage.
