A former basketball player has slammed British TV chiefs for only caring about her record-breaking 4-foot-3 legs.

Ekaterina Lisina, who stands at a staggering 6-foot-9 and supposedly has the world’s longest legs, recently returned from shooting a TV show in London.

“The industry is not interested in my sports career, only modeling,” Lisina said.

According to local media, Lisina from the western Russian city of Penza, comes from a family of basketball players and coaches. Her mother used to play for the local Spartak team and her dad was a professional basketball trainer.

The 32-year-old had a long and distinguished career for the Russian national team, winning an Olympic bronze medal at Beijing 2008, World Championship silver in 2006 as well as a European gold medal in 2007 and silver in 2009.

Lisina, who is divorced and raises her 8-year-old son alone, holds the Guinness World Record for having the longest legs (4ft 3ins) and she is also the world’s tallest professional model.

Lisina has also been honored as a Merited Master of Sports of Russia as well for Outstanding Services in Sports for her former career as a basketball player.

However, she swapped the basketball court for the catwalk to fulfill her childhood dream of being a full-time model.

Lisina also took part in a “Beauty and the Beast” comedy sketch with Russian bodybuilder Kirill ‘Popeye’ Tereshin.

He is famous for his beach-ball shaped biceps caused by botched synthol injections in his arms – which he had surgically removed this month.

It is not known when the TV show will be aired or if it will be screened on British TV.
