In the world of competitive sports, size often provides a huge advantage.

On the flip side, having more mass can make wrestlers incredibly tough to budge. The benefits of size are numerous, but most athletes only have slight differences in height or weight compared to their competitors.

These remarkable individuals are, in many ways, giants among us mere mortals.
