Zhang Ziyu, the 2.23m Chinese basketball player, is the tallest in history and a sensation at the Berlin World Cup, though she remains a young girl at heart.

At just 19 years old, Ziyu stands 2.23 meters tall and dominates the court, yet she surprises everyone with her delicate hobby of knitting plush toys like teddy bears for her friends. newsindata.org

Despite her intimidating size, she describes herself as a "young girl" who misses her childhood teddy bear bed, proving that her passion for crocheting is just as real as her basketball talent.
