Chinese basketball player Zhang Ziyu, just 19 years old, has been impressing at the Women's Basketball World Cup with a height never before seen in professional basketball. At 2.23 meters, she significantly surpasses all opponents she faces in the tournament, often leaving them gaping when they stand beside her.
Zhang Ziyu is taller than any player who has ever played in the WNBA, where the height record was set at 2.18 meters. Furthermore, the young Chinese athlete is even taller than the tallest woman in the world according to Guinness World Records.
This height difference has been particularly notable during World Cup games, where Zhang Ziyu stands out not only for her unusual stature but also for the way she physically dominates opposing players on the court.
The 19-year-old Chinese international represents a rarity in world basketball, being the tallest player present in the competition and a figure who has attracted the attention of both media and fans following the tournament.
