Genes recognizes Sultan Kosen of Turkey as the tallest man
and Jyoti Amge of India as the shortest woman.
He stands 8 feet 2 inches and she at just 2 feet 1 inch.
One of his shoes is more than half of her height.
They met up in California to compare stature.
Kosen and Amge have both held their records for some time,
so it's not the first time they've met each other.

But they seem to have fun comparing their vast differences
while sharing their special places in the record books.
