All tall women thank you in advance.Brianna Turner, 6-foot-3, Notre Dame forwardIts mostly things like sleeves not being long enough. Or knee-high boots that are not knee-high at all on me.

Or shoes -- you cant just go get a nice pair of heels to wear to an event.I shop at ASOS.com -- they have a tall section that is amazing. I have so many clothes now that Im never caught off guard.I would say toilets are pretty low. Its just so far down, and then the stall doors arent that high all the time, so your heads sticking up. But I think it becomes second-nature for us to adjust.Candace Parker, 6-4, Los Angeles Sparks, 2016 WNBA Finals MVPIm against stereotypes, so I hate fitting the stereotype.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Indian officials have called a non-issue reports that sports minister Vijay Goels accreditation was under threat following allegations of misbehaviour, by him and his entourage, by the Games Organising Committee. A senior official said the chef de mission had received no warning though he did acknowledge that an incident did indeed take place.A PTI report quoted a strongly worded letter from Sarah Peterson, continental manager for the Rio 2016 Organising Committee, to Indian chef-de-mission Rakesh Gupta. The letter said the OC had received multiple reports of Goel trying to enter accredited areas at venues with unaccredited individuals and responding with aggressive and rude behaviour when confronted.Goel is in Rio to cheer for the Indian contingent besides monitoring their requirements at the Games Village.Peterson said the ministers accreditation could be cancelled because of this. Should our protocol teaam be made aware of further examples of this type of behaviour, the accreditation of your minister for sports will be cancelled and his privileges at the Olympic Games withdrawn, she said.dddddddddddd We trust you will pass on this message urgently.In a statement issued in response, Gupta said: At the completion of the India-Japan game when India did well, the minister was invited by the team to interact with the players. He went down to the field with the volunteers of the Organising Committee and met the players. However the moment it was brought to his notice he left the field and met the players outside. Since then, whenever the minister has visited the field of play at any venue, he has done so with a special pass. It is unfortunate that a non-issue is being made an issue without any reason.
