Edward Niño Hernández, World's Shortest Man
|
Edward Niño Hernández was officially named as the world's shortest living man on September 4, 2010, by the Guinness World Records. At 24 years of age Hernandez was 70cm (27.46-inch) tall and weighed 10kg (22lbs). Hernandez lives in Bogotá, Colombia. The previous titleholder, He Pingping of China, was an inch or so taller and died on March 13, 2010. According to Edward's, he's not grown since he was 2 years old. It's possible Nino's reign will not be for long as Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal is expected to claim the title when he turns 18 on October 14 2010. He measures about 56 centimetres and is currently recognised as the shortest living teen.
Edward Nino Hernandez is going to hold this title only until Oct. 14, when the world's shortest living teen, Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal turns 18. Khagendra Thapa Magar (born October 14, 1992), son of Rup Bahadur and Dhana Maya Thapa Magar, is the shortest teenager in the world, measuring 0.56 m (1 ft 10 in). Magar is expected to take the title of shortest man from Edward Nino Hernandez when he turns 18 in October.
