For Chinese sports fans, the news of the Chinese women's volleyball team changing coaches may have been missed when the 2022 Winter Olympics were held in Beijing. Just a month ago, on February 3, the Volleyball Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport officially announced that Cai Bin was appointed as the head coach of the new Chinese women's volleyball team.
The position of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the hearts of the Chinese people is self-evident, and after experiencing the Tokyo Olympic Games, with the resignation of Lang Ping, the future of the Chinese women's volleyball team has attracted much attention, and for cai Bin, who has coached the Chinese women's volleyball team again at the age of 56, it is not only this year's Asian Games, the World Championships, but also the need to look farther ahead to the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Olympic Games, and a hard battle is testing the Chinese women's volleyball team that has entered the reconstruction.
For the double champion coach who led the Jiangsu women's volleyball team to the championship of the league and the champion of the National Games, it seems that it is also facing a rather practical problem - the injury of Zhu Ting, the number one main attacker of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
According to relevant media reports, Zhu Ting's wrist injury at the Tokyo Olympic Games has relapsed seriously, but has not yet undergone surgery, it is reported that Lang Ping has already contacted the hospital in the United States, but due to the current epidemic and other reasons, it has not been possible. Although there is no official report on this, many authoritative media said that Zhu Ting may undergo surgery in April, and thus will also miss this year's international competition of the national team for postoperative recovery.
It is reported that the 2022 Women's Volleyball World Championship will be held in September, for Zhu Ting, who has won the Olympic gold medal and the World Cup championship, if she misses this year's World Championship, then she will also have a great probability of missing the Grand Slam, which is undoubtedly a pity.
At the same time, this also puts forward higher requirements for the Chinese women's volleyball team, if Zhu Ting misses the international competition in 2022, Li Yingying, Yuan Xinyue and Gong Xiangyu, the three rapidly rising stars, must become players who can stand alone as soon as possible, especially Li Yingying, who is regarded as the first main attacker in the future shoulders the hopes of many fans.
The defeat of the Tokyo Olympic Games has plunged the Chinese women's volleyball team into a trough, but the past has finally become the past, and the Chinese women's volleyball team in history has fallen into this situation more than once, and it is precisely because of the return to the peak again and again that we have achieved the "women's volleyball spirit" that we are proud of!
