Olivier Rioux is a 15-year-old high school student from Quebec, Canada. He is also the world's tallest teenager, standing at 7 feet 5 inches (2.26 meters) tall.
Rioux's height is due to a condition called gigantism, which is caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland. The tumor produces too much growth hormone, which causes the body to grow excessively.
Rioux's height has brought him both fame and challenges. He has been featured in numerous articles and television shows, and he has even met celebrities like Shaquille O'Neal and Yao Ming. However, he has also faced discrimination and bullying from people who don't understand his condition.
Despite the challenges, Rioux is a happy and confident teenager. He loves playing basketball and hopes to one day play in the NBA.
Rioux is an inspiration to everyone who has ever felt different. He shows us that it is possible to overcome adversity and achieve your dreams.
