Height is always going to be an advantage in basketball, but I think we can all agree that this is a bit much. For context, the average Chinese woman is about 161 cm tall, or around 5-foot-3 in freedom units. Zhang Ziyu, a player on Team China for their entry into the 2024 FIBA Under-18 Women’s Asia Cup, is not only incredible on the court, but she’s a towering 220 to 226 cm tall, or between 7-foot-3 to 7-foot-5 depending on what source you trust.
As you can see in this video, her height gives her a bit of an advantage — especially when all the other players barely come up to her waist.
