Olivier Rioux

Olivier Rioux (Canada) is no stranger to a competitive edge. At 226.9 cm (7 feet 5.33 inches), 15-year-old Olivier is named in the new Guinness Book of World Records for 2022 after being identified as the world's tallest teenager (male).

Born at 7.5 pounds, Olivier grew to 16 pounds in the first month and didn't stop there. Due to his rapid growth, he reached 5 feet 2 inches in fifth grade. Doctors, taking this into account and his parents' height, predicted that he would be 6 feet 5 inches when he peaked. They didn't think he would totally exceed their expectations!

Liu The entire family was tall, so Olivier's childhood home was converted to fit everyone's height. Countertops and ceilings are above average. The only thing remaining is the door frame, which repeatedly hit the top of Olivier's head. As a child, Olivier spent hours looking through the Guinness World Records, studying the tallest people, and comparing himself to all record holders.
