11-year-old Zhang Ziyu is in the 6th grade of a regular Chinese school in Shandong province.
However, this unusual girl in her years already has a height higher than that of many NBA basketball players. Her height is now 2 meters 10 cm and she is likely to become even higher further.
Zhang Ziyu dreams of becoming a basketball player like her parents. Thus, the abnormally large growth of the girl is apparently simply hereditary, and not a sign of any disease.
Now the tallest girl in the world is 12-year-old Sophie Hollins from England, whose height is 188 cm and the Chinese woman has already surpassed her. However, while representatives of the Guinness Book of Records have not measured Zhang Ziya and therefore her result has not been officially recognized. And it is not known whether the girl's family is going to apply for the book.
When Zhang Ziyu goes out in the yard for physical education with her class, she can be seen "a mile away" and she is even taller than the school teachers.

The seemingly large growth does not cause much trouble for the girl, she also runs, jumps and does exercises, like all other children.
NBA basketball player LeBron James is an idol for Zhang Ziyu, but she is already taller than him. James is “only” 2 meters 3 cm tall.
Jan Ziyu's mother is also taller than 2 meters and was previously a member of the Chinese basketball team. Now the girl's mother is also her coach and prepares her for a sports career. However, Zhang Ziyu is doing well in other disciplines, it is reported that she has excellent grades in singing and dancing.
classmates adore their tall peer and consider her height to be a huge advantage.
