China's Bao Xishun (R) leaves with his wife after a news conference in Baotou in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in this July 13, 2007 file photo. Guinness World Records has returned the title of world's tallest man to China's Bao after Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk refused to be measured under new guidelines. Bao, who stands at 7 feet, 8.95 inches (2.36 metres), held the title for a year before losing it in 2006 to Stadnyk, who is 8 feet 5.5 inches (2.57 metres) tall, Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, told Reuters.
