Tallest Primary school pupil in the world

This 11-year-old Chinese boy really stands out in school as he towers over his peers at an incredible height of six feet and nine inches (2.06 metres). Ren Keyu, nicknamed Xiaoyu, is a sixth-grader at a primary school in Leshan city, southwest China’s Sichuan province. Xiaoyu’s massive stature is not the result of any medical condition and his family is considering applying for a Guinness World Record for him, according to Chinese media reports. At the tender age, Xiaoyu is already two inches taller than an average NBA player. He’s one inch taller than top NBA star LeBron James, 33, who stands at six foot eight (2.03 metres). The boy is also dubbed ‘little Yao Ming’ after the former NBA all-star from China who measures 7 feet and 6 inches (2.29 metres). Due to his massive stature, Xiaoyu’s school had to have his desk and chair tailor-made twice to fit his growing body. Xiaoyu’s height is probably genetically inherited, with his mother at six foot two (1.9 metres) while his father stands at almost six feet (1.8 metres).
