Due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics by one year, the cycle time of the Paris Olympics has been shortened, and it is now 2022, and it is only two years before the Paris Olympics. This time is not long, short is not short, but for the new and old Chinese women's volleyball team, this time is indeed a bit embarrassing, veterans have retired and prepared for surgery, there are not many Mesozoic players, newcomers are too young, want to create a complete lineup, need to constantly evolve the lineup and run-in. Of course, time changes, and other teams don't necessarily follow suit, and everyone spends the same time preparing for the Paris Olympics. Now the Chinese women's volleyball team is being reorganized, the coaching team is not idle, in the other teams are still preparing for the league period, the Chinese women's volleyball team has launched training camp activities, soon the big list will also be released, the new cycle of the Chinese women's volleyball team will be officially unveiled.
Recently, the International Olympic Committee has approved the volleyball schedule unit of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the competition time is from July 27 to August 6, the men's and women's volleyball matches are staggered, which is the same as the previous Olympic schedule, but it is not yet certain whether the first match day is a women's volleyball competition or a men's volleyball competition. In the past many Olympic Games, women's volleyball matches are generally arranged on the second day of the opening ceremony, such as 04, 08, 12, 16 are the same. However, to the last Tokyo Olympics to make changes, the men's volleyball group stage first, and then the women's volleyball group stage, the last day to determine the women's volleyball championship team, fans are very clear to remember the United States women's volleyball team in the last match day to sweep the Brazilian women's volleyball team 3:0, the first time to win the Olympic championship, breaking the olympic uncrowned king title.
The group stage and quarterfinals of the 2024 Paris Olympics are divided into four time periods, namely 15:00-17:30 Beijing time, 19:30-21:30, 23:30-01:30, 03:00-05:30, this time is not friendly to the fans of the Chinese women's volleyball team, due to geographical factors, there will be a large time difference, if the Chinese women's volleyball group game is arranged after the match day, the fans can only stay up late to watch the game.
To be honest, the tokyo Olympics game time is the happiest for fans, due to the close distance, there is no obvious time difference, fans do not need to stay up late to watch the game. The quarter-finals are followed by the semi-finals, which are played on August 7 and 8, with two time slots, 22:00-00:30 and 02:00-04:30, which means that two semi-finals are to be completed in these two time periods. If the Chinese women's volleyball team is arranged in the front time period, how do fans still need to stay up late, if it is the second half, it is estimated that many fans can only arrange other times to make up for sleep. This was followed by the bronze medal match and the final gold medal match, which was held on August 9 from 23:00 to 01:30, the second bronze medal from 19:00 to 21:30 on August 10, the first gold medal in volleyball was born at 23:00-01:45, and the second gold medal was decided on august 11, the closing day of the Olympic Games, from 19:00 to 21:45. Relatively speaking, this time is not too late, much better than the group stage and quarter-finals, and it does not take until 2 o'clock to finish the game at the latest.
Remember the 2004 Athens Olympic women's volleyball final, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Russian women's volleyball team played for two and a half hours, and the fans also stayed up late into the night, but the Chinese women's volleyball team finally reversed the opponent and won the gold medal. At that time, many fans did not have the courage to continue to watch when they were behind 0:2, and even the media at that time reported in advance that the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the opponent and regretted the news of picking up silver, fortunately, the Chinese women's volleyball team was not discouraged, even if it was 0:2 backward, it did not give up on itself, fighting for the opponent one point at a time, and tenaciously snatched the championship. It is hoped that at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team can break into the final and win the Olympic gold medal like the golden generation in 2004. But now, the Chinese women's volleyball team is not a favorite to win the championship, Zhu Ting can recover a few percent after surgery is still unknown, after Li Yingying becomes the new core, how the strength is still to be tested, Zhang Changning will retire after marriage, and who among the newcomers can stand up to take her post.
