Meet Olivier Rioux: The Towering 7-Foot-9 Giant Shattering Records and Changing March Madness Forever!

His height is notable as he towers over the rest of his team. The next tallest player on the Gators roster is Micah Handlogten, who stands 8 inches shorter than Rioux at 7 feet, 1 inch, per The Athletic.
However, Rioux’s college career isn’t the first time he’s broken these kinds of records. He previously took the achievement as the tallest male teenager in the world at the age of 16 when he was 7 feet, 5 inches, according to the Guinness World Records.
In his Guinness World Records profile, Rioux shared that his height came with its own pros and cons, which include having to duck under doors and find clothing that fits. He said that his family was “still not 100% sure why I’m so tall.”
