Jyoti Amges 18th birthday is the best of her life. On this day, the
Guinness Book of World Records named her the worlds shortest living
woman. Amge is just 62.8 centimeters tall (24.7 inches), 6.2 cm shorter
than 22-year old American Bridgette Jordan, who has held the title since
September 2011. Jyoti has been the worlds shortest teenager in the
Guinness World Records since September 2009.
Representatives from Guinness World Records traveled to Jyotis hometown
of Nagpur, India, today to acknowledge her entry into adulthood — and
her new entry into its world records.
It is wonderful to celebrate my 18th birthday with a new world record;
its like an added birthday present, said teary eyed cute Amge I feel
grateful to be this size; after all, if I werent small and had not
achieved these world records, I might never have been able to visit
Japan and Europe, and many other wonderful countries.After receiving a
plaque, she and her guests cut a birthday cake.
Guinness says in a statement Amge has grown less than one centimetre
(0.4 inch) in the last two years and will grow no more due to a form of
dwarfism called achondroplasia.
The title of shortest woman in history continues to be held by Pauline
Musters, who lived in the Netherlands from 1876 to 1895 and stood 61
centimeters (24 inches) tall.
As a teenager at school in Nagpur, Jyoti had her own small desk and
chair, but said the other students didnt treat her any differently.
