Wei Qiuyue has participated in the Beijing, London and Rio Olympic Games, and has been the head coach of Chen Zhonghe, Cai Bin, Wang Baoquan, Yu Juemin and Lang Ping, and is the gold medalist of the 2015 Women's Volleyball World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
In addition, Wei Qiuyue also won the bronze medal of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the bronze medal of the 2011 Women's Volleyball World Cup, and the silver medal of the 2014 Women's Volleyball World Championship with the team, which is one of the best second passes in the world.
Wei Qiuyue was selected for the national women's volleyball team at the age of 18 and retired at the age of 29, with a bumpy volleyball career, but also very lucky. In September 2017, she formed a family with Yuan Lingxi, assistant coach of the national women's volleyball team. After marriage, Wei Qiuyue and her husband have been separated...

Wei Qiuyue is 1.82 meters tall, and she belongs to the second pass of the world women's volleyball team. The second setter is the brain and core of the field, and often an excellent second setter can raise the strength of the team to a notch.
Among the captains of the Chinese women's volleyball team, there are 4 second setters, they are Sun Jinfang, Yang Xilan, Su Huijuan and Feng Kun. In the 2009-2012 London Olympics cycle, Wei Qiuyue served as the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

This Olympic cycle, due to the frequent change of coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, led the team into a downturn and turmoil, leaving the "Bronze Generation" with eternal regrets.
Wei Qiuyue has a calm personality, solid basic skills, good passing stability, and can pass the No. 4 high ball and the No. 2 and No. 3 tactical balls. She also blocks the net, serves and is a rare all-round second setter.
But Wei Qiuyue also has obvious shortcomings: the passing speed is slow, and the ability to handle chaotic balls needs to be strengthened.
In the Lang Ping era, Wei Qiuyue first supported the second pass position side by side with Shen Jingsi, and won the runner-up of the 2014 Women's Volleyball World Championship and the 2015 Women's Volleyball World Cup. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Ding Xia played in place of Shen Jingsi, who injured her wrist.
At the Rio Olympics, the second pass position of the Chinese women's volleyball team was dominated by Wei Qiuyue and Ding Xia in turn, and they were one stable and one fast, which made the opponent very uncomfortable.
Wei Qiuyue
In the life-and-death battle with the host Brazil for the top 4 places, Wei Qiuyue played quite well, revitalizing various offensive points on the field. The Chinese women's volleyball team finally won the gold, and Wei Qiuyue was an important hero.
Wei Qiuyue was born in Tianjin on September 26, 1988, with his mother Duan Huiqin and father Wei Wei, who have been in business for many years and come from a privileged family. Wei Wei is a super sports fan and especially loves volleyball.
When Wei Qiuyue was 5 years old, her father sent her to the volleyball preparatory class of Tianjin Junior Sports School. In 1999, Wei Qiuyue's height soared to 1.63 meters and began to become a regular student of the sports school.
Wei Qiuyue has good physical condition and excellent technical and tactical qualities, and was selected for the Tianjin women's volleyball team in May 2003. In 2004, Wei Qiuyue, who was not yet 16 years old, was recruited by Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese youth women's volleyball team, as the main second setter.
Cai Bin was once the second pass of the Chinese men's volleyball team, and it is very good to train the second set of players, and under his carving, Wei Qiuyue's technical level has been greatly improved.

In 2005, the World Youth Women's Volleyball Championship was held in Turkey, and the Chinese women's volleyball team won the bronze medal with a 3:2 victory over Italy, and Wei Qiuyue was elected as the best second pass.
In the Athens and Beijing Olympic games cycle, the two second passes of the Chinese women's volleyball team are Feng Kun and Song Nina, Feng Kun is the main player, and Song Nina is the substitute.
Born in 1980 in Anshan, Liaoning Province, Song Nina is 1.79 meters tall, good at organizing tactical balls in the 2nd and 3rd positions, and has excellent defense in the back row. Sonny Song won the 2003 Women's Volleyball World Cup and the 2004 Athens Olympic Games with the team.
In November 2006, after the women's volleyball World Championship, Feng Kun and Zhao Ruirui went to the United States to treat leg injuries, and Song Nina faded out of the national team, so Wei Qiuyue was trained by Chen Zhonghe as the main second pass.

In 2007, out of the need to prepare for the Beijing Olympic Games, Chen Zhonghe seconded Yuan Lingxi, the accompanying coach of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, to the national team, and an unexpected relationship was born.
Yuan Lingxi and Wei Qiuyue
Yuan Lingxi was born in 1982 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, 6 years older than Wei Qiuyue and 1.91 meters tall.
In 2001, Tianjin Institute of Textile Technology (now Tianjin Polytechnic University) recruited volleyball players for the whole country, and Yuan Lingxi was selected. So he left Shenyang for Tianjin and played while going to school.
Later, the relevant departments took the men's volleyball team of Tianjin Textile Institute of Technology as the team and formed the Tianjin men's volleyball team, and Yuan Lingxi was the main attack of the team.
In 2005, Wang Baoquan, the head coach of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, selected Yuan Lingxi and asked him to be the escort coach of the Tianjin women's volleyball team. Since then, Yuan Lingxi and the women's volleyball team have formed an indissoluble relationship, and also gained a beautiful marriage.
After being seconded to the Chinese women's volleyball team by Chen Zhonghe, Yuan Lingxi not only served as a playing coach and data analyst, but also was responsible for stretching Wei Qiuyue's massage after each day's training.
Yuan Lingxi
Yuan Lingxi was handsome in appearance, tall in stature, humorous and funny in language, and often made Wei Qiuyue laugh.
Previously in the Tianjin team, Wei Qiuyue and Yuan Lingxi also often had contact, but they did not have any special feelings for each other, and now they are reunited in the national women's volleyball team, and they have more good feelings for each other.
At that time, Yuan Lingxi had a girlfriend, and she was Li Juan, the main attacker of the Tianjin women's volleyball team and the national women's volleyball team. Yuan Lingxi felt that he and Wei Qiuyue were more suitable, so he broke up with Li Juan.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Wei Qiuyue won the bronze medal with the team as a substitute for the second pass. The following year, Yuan Lingxi courted Wei Qiuyue, and she accepted.
But since then, the relationship between Wei Qiuyue and Li Juan has become delicate, the two usually do not speak, and even play on the field at the same time have zero communication, and gradually become strangers.
At the 2012 London Olympics, Wei Qiuyue cried bitterly after the defeat of the Chinese women's volleyball team
In the 2009-2012 London Olympic Games cycle, Wei Qiuyue was the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the main second pass.
Due to the successive replacement of Three head coaches Cai Bin, Wang Baoquan and Yu Juemin in more than a year, the Chinese women's volleyball team was chaotic and fell into a trough.
In October 2010, the 16th Women's Volleyball World Championship was held in Japan, and the Chinese women's volleyball team finally won the 10th place. But Wei Qiuyue performed eye-catchingly and was elected as the world's best second pass.
In 2012, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated London and stopped in the top 4, Wei Qiuyue cried the most sadly, and the tears contained heartache and regret.

Due to the blow being too large and exhausting, Wei Qiuyue fell ill after returning to China, with a high fever of 39 degrees. During Wei Qiuyue's hospitalization, Yuan Lingxi has been accompanying him in the hospital.
Wei Qiuyue in recovery
After his body was cured and discharged from the hospital, Wei Qiuyue had the idea of retiring. Yuan Lingxi expressed his resolute opposition, he said: You are only 24 years old, and you are still very young to a second generation, you can completely fight for another Olympic Games, and retiring so early is a waste of talent.
In fact, now that he is retired, Wei Qiuyue is also unwilling. I started playing at the age of 5, and I experienced many ups and downs and hardships along the way, but I did not achieve any bright results.
Dreaming back in the middle of the night, can you feel at ease? After sorting out the chaotic thoughts, Wei Qiuyue decided to stay and go all out to storm the Rio Olympics.
Soon, under the arrangement of the relevant departments, Wei Qiuyue underwent meniscus resection of his left knee in a hospital in Tianjin. After more than two months of treatment and rehabilitation, Wei Qiuyue began to train in the Tianjin women's volleyball team.
In May 2013, Lang Ping once again served as the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Because Wei Qiuyue's knee injury had not healed, Lang Ping did not let her join the team for the time being.
Lang Ping and Wei Qiuyue
As a result, many fans held grievances for Wei Qiuyue on the Internet, saying that Lang Ping suppressed her and asked Wei Qiuyue to enter the national team.
In the spring of 2014, Lang Ping reorganized the Chinese women's volleyball team and recruited Wei Qiuyue. Wei Qiuyue's pass was steady, accurate and fierce, Lang Ping used her as the main second pass, and Shen Jingsi served as her substitute for the second pass.
The 2014 Women's Volleyball World Championship was held in Italy, and Wei Qiuyue played quite well to help the Chinese women's volleyball team reach the final. The opponent in the final was the American team, and the overall strength of the Chinese women's volleyball team at that time was not below the American team.
At the critical moment of the fourth inning, Chen Zhan, the free man of the Chinese women's volleyball team, lost two consecutive passes, resulting in the Chinese women's volleyball team losing the game 24:26, thus losing to the American team 1:3 and ranking second.
Wei Qiuyue on the pitch
But this is also the best result of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the World Championships since the new century. Through this competition, Wei Qiuyue proved himself and also withstood the impact of his teammates Shen Jingsi and Ding Xia.
In November 2015, the Women's Volleyball World Cup was played in Japan, and Wei Qiuyue went out with the team. As a result, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship with an excellent result of 10 wins and 1 loss. At this time, Wei Qiuyue was 27 years old and finally became a world champion, and she was so excited that she did not go to bed until two o'clock in the morning.
After returning to China, Wei Qiuyue began to prepare for the Rio Olympics. Soon, Yuan Lingxi accompanied his girlfriend to the hospital to check for knee injuries. The doctor said: The degree of injury to Wei Qiuyue's knee is no different from that of an elderly person in his 60s, and if he does not pay attention to maintenance, the probability of paralysis in the future is very large.
Yuan Lingxi burst into tears and supported his girlfriend to retire. Wei Qiuyue gritted his teeth and said: Even if I am paralyzed in the future, I will fight this Olympic Games again, the London Olympics is my pain, and I don't want to leave regrets for myself. Yuan Lingxi shook his girlfriend's hand: I support you.

In the days of preparing for the Rio Olympics, Wei Qiuyue experienced the torment of pain every day.
Yuan Lingxi and Wei Qiuyue
Since the meniscus of her left knee had been removed, as soon as she moved, the bones were grinding against the bones, and the pain was drilling into the heart. She saved the ball in the back row, and when she passed the ball in the front row, she felt like a steel knife cutting in her left knee.
Every day at 5 a.m., Wei Qiuyue got up and wrapped layer after layer of tape around his left knee and ankle, often taking more than an hour to complete.
When Wei Qiuyue tore the tape at the end of the evening training, he often burst into tears in pain. Many times she couldn't walk and was helped by her teammates to eat in the cafeteria.
Hard-hearted people are not worthy. The gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics is the best reward for Wei Qiuyue.
When the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated serbia 3:1 to lock in the Olympic gold medal, Wei Qiuyue, Hui Ruoqi, Xu Yunli and other veteran players cried particularly sadly. Only they know the tears and pain behind this gold medal.
