Positioned in the heart of London, Trafalgar Square is the place where two opposites met to publicize the release of the new “Guinness World Records 2009.” He Pingping, the world’s shortest man who can walk met Svetlana Pankratova, the woman with the longest legs.

He Pingping, of China, was born with a type of dwarfism. He, 20, stands precisely 2 feet 5.37 inches tall.

He called Svetlana Pankratova’s legs “very beautiful.”

Pankratova, 36, who is Russian but lives in Spain, has legs that are nearly 52 inches long, or more than 4 feet long. Her upper body has nearly typical proportions, giving her a giraffe-like appearance.
