Wei Qiuyue donated olympic gold medals
At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Wei Qiuyue, Hui Ruoqi, Zhu Ting, Xu Yunli and others picked the beams of the Chinese women's volleyball team first and then rose. In the group stage, it was 5-3 with 2 wins and a difficult qualifying for the fourth place. In the eight-in-four knockout round, the Chinese women's volleyball team encountered the host Brazil led by Sierra. After five rounds of hard fighting, the Chinese women's volleyball team sent Brazil out of Rio 3-2. Then the semi-finals defeated the Netherlands 3-1, and the final had a 3-1 revenge against Serbia, and reached the top of the Olympic Games again after 12 years. As the main second pass of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Wei Qiuyue experienced the defeat of the London Olympic Games, when he lost to the Japanese team and missed the final four, Wei Qiuyue, as the captain, cried a lot. After entering the Rio cycle, Wei Qiuyue, who insisted on not giving up and participated in the war with injuries, finally realized his dream of the Olympics, and this golden gold medal was also the most precious gold medal in Wei Qiuyue's career.

At the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team was out and suffered setbacks. Now, when the Chinese women's volleyball team was frustrated in Tokyo, Wei Qiuyue donated her most precious Olympic gold medal, which is enough to prove her love and support for the Chinese women's volleyball team. For this donation, Wei Qiuyue said bluntly: "I am a member of the Chinese women's volleyball team, an athlete trained by the country, and I donated my most precious gold medal to the China Sports Museum, hoping that the spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Olympic spirit can inspire more people." "Let's give Wei Qiuyue a thumbs up!"
