Väinö Myllyrinne
Väinö Myllyrinne (27 February 1909 in Helsinki – 13 April 1963 in Järvenpää, Finland〔(Setäni Väinö Myllyrinne, Suomen pisin mies ja Järvenpään ”suurmies” )〕) was an acromegalic giant who was at one time (1961–1963) the world's tallest living person.

Myllyrinne is considered the tallest soldier ever, having served in the Finnish Defence Forces. He underwent his conscript training in 1929 in the Viipuri Heavy Artillery Regiment, and was 220 cm tall and very strong. In the 1930s he travelled around Europe as a professional wrestler and circus performer. He returned to Finland in 1939 to serve in the Finnish Army during the Winter War. In 1946, he moved to Järvenpää and ran a chicken farm. He died in 1963 and is buried in Järvenpää.

The advocates of the campaign thought that because one cannot pick just one person to be the Greatest Finn for their accomplishments, Väinö Myllyrinne would actually be the "biggest Finn" because of his height (in Finnish, the word ''suuri'' means both "big" and "great").〔http://www.thetallestman.com/vainomyllyrinne.htm〕 In 1962, just a year before his death, he was measured by doctors at . He had a hand span, the greatest known.
