On May 2, Beijing time, Brazilian women's volleyball player Vallevska officially announced his retirement after playing this season's game for Uberlandia Beach Club, which aroused strong concern among netizens.
Born in 1979, Valevska is now 42 years old, 1 meter 90 tall, and plays as a deputy attacker, and is called "headband sister" by fans because he is accustomed to wearing a headband during matches. At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Valevska helped the Brazilian women's volleyball team win the championship as the main secondary attacker. Valevska's performance was very outstanding, she ranked 9th in the net list and 28th in the scoring list at that Olympic Games, and the two links of the offensive blocking block supported the brazilian women's volleyball team's secondary offensive line. Especially in the semi-final with the Chinese women's volleyball team, Valeska played an 80% performance rate on the offensive end, shattering the dream of the "golden generation" defending the title at home. With the growth of the world's top pair of attacks, known as "black and white double brakes", Valeska gradually faded out of the Brazilian women's volleyball national team, but has been active in the professional arena. More than two years ago in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, the Women's Volleyball Club World Cup, Valevska played with the team, although he has reached the age of 40, but still let Chinese fans enjoy the world's top women's volleyball vice attack style on the spot.
It is worth mentioning that the 42-year-old Valeska is not the last of the Brazilian women's volleyball team to win the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, when the 12-person list of Mariani, Taisa and other people are still active on the field, but also let the fans feel the Brazilian women's volleyball old generation of players "evergreen" and love for volleyball. After the news of Valevska's official retirement came out, netizens also left messages to send her blessings: "It's not easy, the hairband sister has also left, the Brazilian women's volleyball team has been very, very successful in the past twenty years", "Retired a U40, and soon to usher in a new U40", "I have to say that the Brazilian women's volleyball players' athletic career is really long, the ability to maintain the state is amazing", "The hairband sister is still very strong, the offensive net is good".
