The Volleyball Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport announced the training list of the sand volleyball national team preparing for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, in the 22-person list, it is not difficult to find that the name of Cao Shuting, the main attacker of the Shandong women's volleyball team, is prominently listed, and she was originally born in the sand volleyball team, and she has limited room for development in the Shandong women's volleyball team, so she has to return to the sand volleyball field. This is not the first time that the sand volleyball national team has indoor players to play in the sand volleyball field, the earliest batch of beach volleyball players represented by The Sichuan women's volleyball team Chi Rong and Xiong Zi, won the 9th place in the Sydney Olympic Games. Looking at the international arena, there are also Tom Logan, Paola, Pavan and other famous players who will try to play sand volleyball from the indoor volleyball court, only Canada's Pavan has won the world championship.
Among the players selected for the Chinese women's beach volleyball team, there are fans familiar with Wang Fan, Xia Xinyi, Wang Xinxin, and more on behalf of Shandong Rizhao Steel Women's Volleyball Team to play this season's 20-year-old main attacker Cao Shuting, she entered the Shandong Women's Volleyball Team in 2019, just from the sand volleyball to indoor volleyball was also pushed by the Shandong Women's Volleyball Team as a new manpower, many times on the bench to make contributions, it is well known that the Depth of the Shandong Women's Volleyball Bench is too strong, Cao Shuting only appeared once this season, only played 1 round, Or in the match with the Yunnan women's volleyball team without suspense, in fact, in the eyes of head coach Li Yanlong, Che Wenhan's potential may need to be tapped and worth cultivating.
Cao Shuting's offensive firepower is fierce, the high point strong attack can play a strong penetration in the second and fourth positions and the back row, Cao Shuting's first pass and net have a height advantage, and the height of 190CM is also a more advantageous side attacker in the Shandong women's volleyball team. Cao Shuting may have deficiencies in the competition with Che Wenhan, Song Meili, Qian Jingwen and Du Qingqing, returning to the sand volleyball arena and opening up new ways, for this young main attacker, it has to be said that it is a bold attempt, and her slam action still retains the shadow of many sand volleyball players.
Cao Shuting is not the first player directly selected by the sand volleyball national team from indoor volleyball, as early as the end of the last century, in order to make a breakthrough in the Sydney Olympic Games, the sand volleyball national team specially transferred two members of the Sichuan women's volleyball team to attack Chi Rong and the deputy attack XiongZi, the result is that the two together in the 2000 Olympic Games achieved the 9th place in the history of the best record, but the two did not always play sand volleyball, after the end of the Olympic Games and returned to the Sichuan women's volleyball team, continue the indoor volleyball game, Xiong Zi was also selected for the 2001 and 2002 Women's Volleyball World Championships, and participated in the Women's Volleyball Grand Champions Cup and the World Championships as the main free person, winning a championship and a 4th place.
There are also a number of women's volleyball players in the international arena trying to play sand volleyball, the famous main attacker of the American women's volleyball team Tom Logan quit the UNITED States national team after the 2012 London Olympic Games, and changed to sand volleyball, but did not achieve the desired results. Two-time Olympic champion Brazil's main attack Paola and teammate Mary Anne also joined hands to play sand volleyball, also without the brilliant results achieved by indoor volleyball. The only one who has won the World Championship and Tour championship is Canada's Pavan, she partnered Melissa in 2019 to win the World Championship in Sand Volleyball by defeating the American combination, and is also a heavy cannon in the indoor volleyball field, joining the Shanghai women's volleyball team in 2015, and also playing in Serie A and South Korea League for many years, is one of the few team members whose sand volleyball performance is better than indoor results.
