Ding Xia, who is training for the national team, ushered in the good news, that is, she will participate in the coaching interview of the Liaoning Sports Bureau this Saturday, and once the interview is passed, Ding Xia will have another identity. The interview is held on February 26, so Ding Xia is likely to return early. At present, the new cycle of Chinese women's volleyball girls are training in Ningbo Beilun, the number of players in this training is also a record, as many as 67 people shortlisted, of course, there are many veterans selected again, like Ding Xia, Yuan Xinyue and Gong Xiangyu are three players who have participated in the Two Olympic Games. In addition to Ding Xia, Yuan Xinyue and Gong Xiangyu are not very old, they are in the golden age, and they are still the backbone of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Ding Xia is 32 years old this year, but also the oldest of the current batch of training players, as an athlete this age is indeed a bit older, but as a second pass, Ding Xia still has a strong competitiveness, after all, the older the second pass, the more popular, like Serbia's OgjenianOvic has participated in four Olympic Games, has not yet chosen to retire, want to continue to play in the Paris Olympics.
In fact, the news of Ding Xia's transformation as a coach has been revealed as early as a few years ago, when not only Ding Xia was shortlisted, but also the North Great Wall Yan Ni, who we are very familiar with, but this time the interview notice list issued by Liaoning Sports only appeared ding Xia's name, Yan Ni was not among them, so it caused fans to suspect that it was eliminated? Or is there another arrangement? Being a coach needs to have courage, relatively speaking, Ding Xia does have potential, she has always been known as a spicy type of second pass, in the temperament of this piece has never lost, there is a kind of fierceness that does not accept defeat. Ding Xia to interview the coach, perhaps to prepare for herself in advance, after all, she is a veteran, in the age has not been dominant, and the Paris Olympics have two years, there will be great variables during this period, whether it can impact the Olympic roster is still an unknown, and the opportunity in front of ding Xia is also very rare, can become a coach, for their career is a very successful transformation, like Lang Dao is from an athlete to a meritorious coach.
Ding Xia first entered the national team in 2014, but after the Swiss Elite was returned, despite being withdrawn, Ding Xia did not give up on herself, and then entered the national first team again in 2015, and played in the Asian Championship and the World Cup with the team, in the World Cup with Serbia and Russia, Ding Xia appeared as a substitute, turned the situation around, and successfully helped the team reverse the opponent to win two key matches, and it was the performance of this World Cup that was recognized by Lang Director. Then in 2016, Ding Xia was called up to the national team again, and successfully squeezed Shen Jingsi into the Rio Olympic squad, in the key semi-finals and finals, Ding Xia was appointed as a substitute, once again played a role, helping the team reverse the opponent, successfully revenge the Netherlands and Serbia, and won the Olympic championship with her teammates and reached the top podium.
Entering the Tokyo cycle, Ding Xia sat firmly in the main force and became one of the seven fairies, competing with her teammates in the World Championships, the World Cup and the Tokyo Olympic Games. In the 19th World Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team won 11 consecutive victories and won the championship strongly, which was inseparable from Ding Xia's excellent organization, so she was selected for the best team and won the best second setter. However, at the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team encountered darkness, as a big favorite to win the championship, but encountered Waterloo, and finally ended with the ninth place, Ding Xia as the main second pass has also become the object of criticism. Now that it has entered the Paris Olympic cycle, Ding Xia's career has also entered a bottleneck period, and it is indeed necessary to make plans early, becoming a coach is also a great joy, and in the future, she may become the head coach of the national team like Lang Ping.
