Quoting AFP from Kuwait City, a senior official told AFP that the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, faces a "possibility" of postponement, and just as the director-general of the Olympic Council of Asia, Hussein Mussalam, confirmed the news, Musalam said that although the committee has not yet made a formal decision, the Hangzhou Asian Games do have the possibility of postponement. The 2022 Asian Games was originally scheduled to be held in Hangzhou in September, but considering the serious epidemic situation in Shanghai and the proximity of Hangzhou, there is a possibility of postponement, and the probability is not small. Once the Asian Games are postponed, it is great news for the Chinese women's volleyball team that is facing both sides, at least it does not have to be divided into two major events, and only needs to prepare for the World Championships in the Netherlands. Cai Bin "two into the palace" once again in charge of the women's volleyball team seal pressure is quite large, if he does not want to leave in a hurry like 2009, must come up with convincing results, the World Women's Volleyball Championship is the first shot of Cai Bin to protect the position, he must play to sit firmly in the marshal position.
Now the global epidemic raging, the Tokyo Olympic Games have been postponed for 1 year to hold, the Asian Games as a large-scale comprehensive type of intercontinental competition, but also to face huge anti-epidemic prevention and control pressure, although the situation in Hangzhou is basically good, but after 5 months of things who can not predict, Hangzhou is closer to the lockdown of Shanghai, so it increased the possibility of postponing the Asian Games.
Chinese women's volleyball team every time the Asian Games will clash with the schedule of the World Championships, not only this year, almost the same in the past, even if there is no prominence is a very close interval between the front and back, the Chinese women's volleyball team often ends the journey of the World Championships, rushes to the Asian Games venue, and then competes with Asian opponents. Since entering the new century, the Chinese women's volleyball team at the 2002 World Championships went to Germany to compete and won the 4th place, and the subsequent Busan Asian Games won the championship 3-1 with the host South Korea. The 2006 World Championships were held in Japan, and the Chinese women's volleyball team won the 5th place, and then won the championship at the Doha Asian Games 3-1. The 2010 World Championships continued to be held in Japan, and the Chinese women's volleyball team ended with a 10th place result, followed by a 3-2 victory over South Korea at the Asian Games in Guangzhou. In 2014, the Chinese women's volleyball team was divided into two ways, the main team won the second place in the World Championships in Italy, and the second team lost to South Korea at the Asian Games and also won the second place. The 2018 Asian Games started for the first time before the World Championships, and the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship in 1 round at the Asian Games in Jakarta, and then went to Japan to get the third place at the World Championships.
The 2022 Asian Games and the World Championships are in full swing, and if the Chinese women's volleyball team uses the main lineup to play the Asian Games and then fly to the Netherlands to prepare for the World Championships, the time is short, and the physical fitness of the team members cannot be guaranteed. Once the Asian Games are postponed, the Chinese women's volleyball team only needs to concentrate on preparing for the World Championships. There are not many opponents of the Chinese women's volleyball Asian Games, on Japan, South Korea and Thailand, compared to Japan and Thailand, which have changed the coach and blood, the last runner-up Thai women's volleyball team has the strength to become a roadblock on the road to the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the championship, the young players led by Aye Chalapont have successfully taken over, and there are also experience in the Turkish Super League and the Japanese League, and the characteristics of the little fast spirit may make it difficult for the young Chinese women's volleyball team to adapt to the rhythm of the blocking.
The Chinese women's volleyball team should pay more attention to the World Championships, after all, the goal is the Paris Olympic Games in 2 years, the World Championships gather strong teams from all continents, and the gold content of the championship is not comparable to an Asian Games champion. The world championship in the Chinese women's volleyball team before the final opponent is basically Brazil, Italy, Japan and the host Netherlands, must defeat more than 2 to be able to reach the top 8, the next knockout game depends on the scene to play, for Cai Bin, he wants to stick to the Paris Olympic Games in the coaching position, must be in the only big competition before the Olympic Games to win, the top 8 should be the bottom line, otherwise it may face the situation of the marshal is not guaranteed.
