Indeed, she is one of the world’s (if not the world’s) tallest female long-distance swimmers, and we believe that both her wingspan and her size 13 feet have played a role in her outstanding swimming ability. To her credit, Hlaváová has received numerous endorsement deals due to her swimming achievements.
1. Laura Dijkema
Being tall is an advantage in volleyball, but there aren’t many female players that reach the 6ft mark. Being short and agile has its benefits, but being long and rangy has advantages. Laura Dijkema, a 6-foot volleyball standout from the Netherlands, is frequently the tallest member. Dijkema has been playing volleyball for her country since 2010, and she has been a member of several successful teams throughout that time. The volleyball player has won numerous medals throughout her career, and at only 31 years old, she still has plenty of time to win more. Dijkema is currently based in Italy after spending several years playing volleyball in her native Holland.
