A Towering Presence: The Tallest Girl in the World
Early Life and HeightZhang Ziyu, a 12-year-old girl from Jinan, China, has made headlines for her extraordinary height, measuring an impressive 2.1 meters (6 feet 11 inches). This makes her the current tallest girl in China and a contender for the world record. Despite her young age, Ziyu already surpasses the average NBA player's height by 7.6 centimeters.
Genetics and Family Background
Ziyu's towering height is likely a result of genetics, as both her parents are above average in stature. Her father stands at 182.9 centimeters, while her mother is the same height. Ziyu's mother was a former professional basketball player for the Chinese national team, and now coaches the Shandong provincial team.
Sporting Prowess and Career Aspirations
Under her mother's influence, Ziyu developed a love for sports at the tender age of five. She aspires to follow her mother's footsteps and become a professional basketball player. With her exceptional height and athletic abilities, she has the potential to excel in the sport.
Impact on School and Social Life
At her primary school, Ziyu stands out not only for her height but also for her intelligence and talents. Teachers praise her academic achievements, as well as her proficiency in music and dance. Despite her size, Ziyu maintains a close bond with her classmates, who affectionately refer to her as a "young coach" due to her towering presence.
Comparison to Other Tall Individuals
Ziyu's height exceeds that of 13-year-old Sophie Hollins from England, who currently holds the Guinness World Record for "Tallest Teenager (Female)." She also surpasses the height of NBA superstar LeBron James by 7 centimeters. Furthermore, Ziyu is taller than her contemporary, Ren Keyu, a 206-centimeter-tall boy from Leshan, Sichuan. Ren's family has expressed interest in applying for the world record for "Tallest Teenage Boy," but it remains to be seen if Ziyu's parents will follow suit.
