Record holders came together. The tallest woman in the world met the shortest woman in the world for the first time. The tallest woman in the world, Turkish web developer Rumeysa Gelgi, and the shortest woman in the world, Indian actress Jyoti Amge, shared their life experiences during the meeting. Gelgi expressed her happiness at having met Amge, stating that although they often struggle to make eye contact due to the height difference, "We have common points; we both love doing makeup, personal care, and nail care," she said. Amge stated, "I am used to seeing taller people when I look up, but today I was very happy to see the tallest woman in the world when I looked up. I felt very comfortable talking to Rumeysa." The tallest woman in the world, Gelgi, is 2 meters 15 centimeters tall, while the shortest woman in the world, Amge, holds the Guinness World Record at 62.8 centimeters. Rumeysa Gelgi has a rapidly growing bone structure due to the rare 'Weaver' syndrome. She uses a wheelchair in her daily life. Jyoti Amge also lives with a type of dwarfism called 'Achondroplasia.' Both women received the title of 'icon' by being featured in the 70th anniversary book of the Guinness World Records.
