Makes the most sense, especially considering the height difference.
I remember a guy who had started in Judo, but changed to Tae Kwon Do, which he did well in. He explained to me that his height was his Judo problem, that being tall, he was "lifting" his opponents all-too-often, while they could toss him all around. He found an advantage of being tall in TKD; i.e., longer legs for firing out kicks at a safe distance from his opponent.

In the Iain Abernethy newsletter - http://www.ianabernethy.com - for October, a link was included of a very special photo:
http://www.waseda-karatebu.org/waseda/history/images/history004_l.jpg
"The link is to a picture on the servers of the karate club of Waseda University that shows Funakoshi teaching in 1935 (dressed in darker clothing on the far left of the picture)."
It looks like the central figure performing the throw under the guidance of Funakoshi might be in the middle of the throw that the woman is performing in that video clip, but showing his lower body during execution. I feel sorry for the guy who's "flying"!

Being tall is ok, as long as you remember that the key is getting your hips lower than your opponents. Being taller does make this tougher, but it something that you have to adapt to in training.

I would agree that this picture shows the throw being executed in the earlier video. Kind of like a fireman's carry throw.

The name of the technique is Kata Guruma. Here's a website with a description and several videos of it.

Thanks, ps1! It is good to see different videos of the "same" move, and I've been able to bookmark where there are a number of Judo videos. I'm actually surprised at how there isn't that much bending down to execute the move; it's like studying physics applied to the martial arts.
