alexander sizonenkoとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Alexander Alekseyevich Sizonenko (Russian: Александр Алексеевич Сизоненко; born July 20, 1959 in the village Zaporizhia, Kherson Oblast, Ukrainian SSR) is a former Soviet basketball player. Possibly the tallest person to ever play professional basketball, he was measured by Guinness World Records at 2.39 m (7 ft 10 in) and named the world's tallest man in 1991. Sizonenko is said to have grown since this measurement was taken, although age has reduced his standing height considerably. Because of his enormous growth, his mobility is increasingly impaired. He received an offer from plastinator Gunther von Hagens for his body but he declined the offer. He played professionally for Spartak Leningrad (1976–1978) and for Budivelnyk Kyiv (1979–1986). Sizonenko was also a member of the Soviet national team and appeared on its behalf for 12 games. He now lives in Saint Petersburg. He is divorced and has a son Alexander born in 1994.
