2. Modeling Agencies Turned Her Down Because of Her Height, But She Determined

Yekaterina Lisina desired to become a model when she was young. At the age of 16, she started visiting modeling agencies with the expectation that she would be picked. She was turned down initially because of her height, so shifted her attention to basketball.

Some years later, after she achieving success in her basketball career and gained recognition, she returned to her old passion- modeling. She created social media pages where she started sharing her pictures. And almost immediately people began to indicate an interest in her height.

Messages started dropping from different angles, with people asking for her pictures, so they could compare her to others.

3. She Is An Olympic Medalist

Her basketball career was a spectacular one. She was a member of the Russian national team that played women’s basketball at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The basketball team went on to pick a bronze medal at the end of the competition, thanks to her stellar performances.
