Guinness World Record
In 2018, Maci realized that she had longer than average legs after she went out shopping and couldn’t find a pair of leggings; she was asked whether she wanted a custom pair of leggings. Later, she looked over whether she could have an official title for world’s longest legs in the Guinness Book of World Records. In October 2020, the 2021 Edition of Guinness World Record was published and she made the record of having the world’s longest legs (female) and longest legs on a teenager. She has broken the Guinness World Record of Ekaterina Lisina of Russia, who previously held the title of having the longest legs at 132.8 cm. Maci’s left leg measures 135.267 cm (53.255 in), and her right leg measures 134.3 cm (52.874 in). [2]Guinness World Records
