LAURA DIJKEMA – 6FT
Standing at 6 feet tall, Laura Dijkema is hardly the tallest female volleyball player in the world, but she does tower over a lot of women in the sport, and she clearly puts her length, as well as her wingspan, to good use, as evidenced by how well she performs on the court. Apparently, she’s been playing volleyball since she was 7 years old. And by 16, she already found herself playing for the highest volleyball league in the Netherlands. To her credit, she was, as a young woman, immediately scouted to play for other international leagues, but now plays for the Italian women’s volleyball team, Azzurra Volley San Casciano.
HAFTHOR JULIUS “THOR” BJORNSSON – 6’9″, 400 POUNDS
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who many will know as the man who played “The Mountain” in HBO’s hit television series Game of Thrones, is an absolute behemoth of a man. He stands at 6 feet and 9 inches tall and weighs 400 pounds, which makes him the most fitting person to play “The Mountain.” Indeed, he’s a one-man moving company, considering all the weight he can single-handedly lift. He has also, unsurprisingly, won a number of strongman tournaments—you know, those contests where contestants do all kinds of lifting and grunting. Trust us, you wouldn’t want to get on this man’s bad side.
