Femur is longer than tibia in pretty much 100% of humans. Averaging 0.8 tibia to femur (which means your femur is 25% longer than your tibia). Some world class runners may have a 0.85 ratio especially elite black endurance runners from some tribe in Africa. Many black people have >0.8 tibia ratios. No one has longer tibias than femurs or equal tibias to femurs barring some genetic mess in the womb

Well said.
Tibias are always shorter about 20% compared to femurs.
Personally, even after 7,5cm of LL I still have shorter tibias than femurs but not a lot (about 2-3cm).
