At present, the Chinese women's volleyball team is training in Ningbo Beilun in full swing, and its goal is to achieve good results at this year's Hangzhou Asian Games and the 2022 World Championships, after all, these two events are very important. The Asian Games is a home battle, the goal is naturally to win the gold medal, the World Championship is relatively difficult to win the coefficient, but if the strongest squad is sent to participate, the card is still very promising. The women's volleyball girls are busy with training, and the men's volleyball boys have not stopped, and at this moment, they are also launching training in Beijing to prepare for the Asian Games and the World Championships. For them, the two events are also very important, the goal of the Asian Games is also to win the crown, want to snow the shame of the last Asian Games, in addition, the results of the World Championships are also related to the world ranking of the men's volleyball team, if the ranking of good results rises, they can be selected for the Paris Olympic Qualification Tournament.
The original plan for the 2022 Men's Volleyball World Championship was held in Russia, but due to many circumstances, the reason is also very clear, the International Volleyball Federation canceled the right to hold Russia, re-site, most likely between Italy and France and Poland, these three countries, it may also be two countries at the same time, if the women's volleyball World Championship is the same. However, the rules of this men's volleyball world championship have changed the norm, the rules have changed, the past 24 teams participated in the competition is divided into 4 groups, each group has 6 teams, the first stage of the group stage, the group top four advanced to the round of 16 and then the rematch. The 24 teams in this World Championship are divided into 6 groups, 4 teams in each group, and the top two in each group directly advance to the round of 16, so that there are 12 teams alone, and the remaining four teams are the third with the best results in all the groups. To be honest, this arrangement can save game time, but for many teams, there is also a lot of contingency, the group stage only has three games, no longer need to play 5 games.
Today, the rules have changed once again, and the rematch has been directly changed to a knockout round. In the past, after advancing to the round of 16, it was necessary to group for the rematch, and then select the top 6 from the rematch, and then group the group stage, and then the semi-finals and finals, the schedule was cumbersome and too frequent, which was a great test for athletes, and it was possible to play a game less than 24 hours before the second game, and there was not enough time to rest. This World Championship can be said to make a big adjustment in time, after advancing to the round of 16, no more rematches are arranged, but a single elimination match, which is equivalent to the quarter-finals, two teams duel, the winner directly advances to the top 8, followed by the quarterfinals, followed by the semi-finals and finals, if you can still go to the end after advancing to the round of 16, add up to a total of only 4 games. The previous semi-finals + semi-finals and finals had a total of 8 matches, and now there are less than half, plus the first stage of the group stage, a total of 10 games missing.
The reduction of the number of games and the compression of time naturally greatly reduce the viewing of the game, and at the same time enhance the contingency of the game. For the Chinese men's volleyball team, there are also opportunities for promotion, and maybe it can achieve good results. Judging from the rules of this World Championship, there are only 7 games in the group stage to win the championship, which is nearly half less than the previous 13 games, and if you are lucky, you can play well in the key knockout matches, and it is not impossible to beat the strong opponents in the cold. Chinese men's volleyball world championship group of opponents are Italy, Canada and Turkey, in addition to Italy, the other two teams we have the opportunity to win, 19 years of Tokyo Olympic qualification tournament, the Chinese men's volleyball team and Canada fought hard five games to lose the opponent, now has passed two years, the Chinese men's volleyball team under the leadership of Wu Sheng has obvious progress, maybe it can really create good results in the World Championships.
