Zhang Ziyu, la “niña” china de 2,23m que asombra en el Mundial y teje peluches
La baloncestista más alta de la historia es la gran atracción por su tamaño, aunque ella solo se considera “una chica joven”
In an astonishing display at the World Championship in Berlin, China's tallest professional basketball player, Zhang Ziyu, captivated the crowd. At just 19 years old, she stands an impressive 2.23 meters tall, making her the tallest female basketball player in history and a major attraction at the event. However, Zhang remains far from being an adult, as she admits to still having a childlike demeanor.
"I think everyone thinks I'm very tough because I'm so tall, but I'm still a young girl, sometimes quite childish," Zhang shared in a FIBA documentary. Her youthful appearance is evident in her playful banter with teammates and in her laughter during moments of running on the mixed zone. Zhang's fondness for crafting with knitting also adds to her childlike charm, as she gifts friends with handmade plush toys, including an elephant that took her two weeks to complete.
When reflecting on her rise to stardom, Zhang expresses a longing for her childhood bed filled with soft stuffed animals.
