Aleksey Kazakov – 7’2”
Towering over your teammates and opponents is an advantage in basketball, but also volleyball. This Russian spent long hours in the gym making sure that his skills were complemented by his height. Participating in the Olympics in 2000 and again 4 years later, he took medals home to Russia and also snatched a medal for his home-land in 2001 at the Ostrava Championships. Being able to lean over the competition is one serious advantage.

Mohammad Irfan – 7’1”
Mohammad is a very lanky cricket player and vital to the Pakistani cricket team. He credits his lightning-fast reactions to his health and physical trainer. As probably the tallest play on the planet, he is easily remembered by cricket fans and added fuel to the rumor mill when he was accused of malfeasance in 2017. World-renowned cricket players, South Africa, were bowled over by his skill when Pakistan beat them in 2013 and all accolades went to Mohammad for this win.
