I saw something on the BBC website that said he is 6'4", but has the torso of someone 6'8", with the arm-span of someone 6'7" and the legs of someone 6'0" tall. On top of the super long torso and arms and short legs, his ankles are double jointed which gives him an extra 15° of mobility which means his feet are like flippers. On top of all of that, he creates lactic acid at 1/2 the rate of most folks, so his muscles recover faster which allows him to perform at or near peak level multiple times a day without a recovery time like most folks.
Pretty darn amazing guy. .
