The new volleyball season, there is the joy of the newcomers to take the position, there is also the desolation of the veteran leaving, just on November 15, the Famous Violent Deputy Of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team Yang Junjing announced his decision to retire, so far, the adherents of the Bronze Generation of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team have all left, following Zhang Lei, Yang Junqing also took off his battle robe, the current London Olympic Games 12 golden flowers, only Wang Yimei has not officially announced his retirement, and the heavy gunner has been difficult to return to the field, and the retirement is only officially announced.
In terms of achievements, the women's volleyball bronze generation and the golden generation are far from the same, but after experiencing the trough of the Chinese women's volleyball team, they have never given up, and the third place in the 2011 women's volleyball World Cup is the best reward for them, although the women's volleyball girls at the 2012 London Olympic Games did not have the opportunity to receive the podium and tears spilled on the field, but every player in the 12 golden flowers is definitely the best in the same position at present. However, it is a pity that with the retirement of Yang Junjing, the 12 golden flowers of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Paris Olympics have become memories.
Who were the 12 golden flowers that participated in the London Olympics? The main attack position is Wang Yimei, Hui Ruoqi and Chu Jinling, the three secondary attackers are Yang Junjing, Xu Yunli and Ma Yunwen, the two receivers are Zeng Chunlei and Zhang Lei, the second pass is Mi Yang and Wei Qiuyue, and the free man is Zhang Xian and Shan Danna.
Zhang Lei, Yang Junjing, is the last two adherents of the women's volleyball bronze generation to participate in this year's National Games, the 36-year-old Zhang Lei in the peak period is the Chinese women's volleyball team famous running relay, just at the National Games she still has excellent performance, but because of the age relationship, she still chose to leave after the Five Games. Now 32-year-old violent deputy yang Junqing, at the peak of the injury did not qualify for the 2016 London Olympic Games, but also regrettably missed the Olympic champion, although she has not given up her dream, but the impact of injury stopped, the Tokyo cycle still failed to let her return to the national team, this year's National Games has become the song of her career.
In addition to Zhang Lei and Yang Junjing, the absolute offensive core of the Bronze Generation, Wang Yimei, has not yet officially announced her retirement, but her resume in the volleyball association also stays in the 2019-2020 season, the 33-year-old Wang Yimei has been difficult to return to the field, in 2008 and 2012 two Olympic Games, Wang Yimei contributed everything, but failed to get the desired result, although the career has some regrets, but now she is the general manager of the Liaoning women's volleyball team, still busy with the cause she loves. Will she be the last to hold on to the Bronze Generation? The odds are slim and there is no hope of returning to the game.
Compared with Wang Yimei, Hui Ruoqi is undoubtedly lucky, after tears in London, in Rio in 2016, Xiao Hui successfully led the Chinese women's volleyball team to stand on the top of the world, hui Ruoqi returned to the family after the Tokyo cycle retired, and now she has been upgraded to Bao Ma. Like Hui Ruoqi, Xu Yunli and Wei Qiuyue also occupy an important position in the new golden generation of the women's volleyball team, and the London Olympic championship is inseparable from the excellent performance of these veterans, Xu Yunli, the elder of the three Olympic dynasties, is now a teacher at Fujian University, and Wei Qiuyue, who also participated in the three Olympic Games in Beijing, London and Rio, has become Yuan Lingxi's wife and is currently a mother.
Zeng Chunlei and Yang Junjing, in the Rio cycle is the absolute main force of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but after missing the 2016 Rio Olympic Games due to injury, the Tokyo Olympic Games were postponed for a year due to the epidemic, directly allowing Zeng Chunlei to leave the field, perhaps there are too many career regrets, but she led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the 2015 Women's Volleyball World Cup championship as a captain, and successfully defended the title in 2019, compared with Wang Yimei, Zeng Chunlei is undoubtedly lucky, and now the big bud, also upgraded to become a mother.
Chu Jinling also played a remarkable role in the London Olympics, and after retiring in 2014, she became a physical education teacher and was promoted to Bao Ma in 2018. Ma Yunwen, the queen of back flying, married former Chinese women's volleyball team fitness trainer Leit Larson after announcing her retirement in 2019 and gave birth to a mixed-race little beauty. Although the second setter Mi Yang has retired, she has not yet left the volleyball, and now she is the coach of the Shanghai Youth Women's Volleyball Team, and she is cultivating a rising star for the Chinese women's volleyball team. Zhang Xian, a free agent, has not been far from volleyball, and now she is a coach of the national girls' volleyball team, and the first player in the Bronze Generation to enter the national brand as a coach. After another free person, Shan Tongna, retired in 2017, she married Hong Min, who was in the hands of the men's volleyball team, and has now been upgraded to a mother.
The women's volleyball bronze generation completely ended, after Zhang Lei, Yang Junjing, only Wang Yimei did not officially announce his retirement, the 12 golden flowers that once participated in the London Olympic Games have completely become history, although the careers of some players are not perfect, but Chinese volleyball will not forget them, their youth belongs to Chinese volleyball, and their lives belong to Chinese volleyball. The 12 golden flowers of the Paris Olympics have become memories, and I hope that they will take every step and win the battle forever on the next road of life.
