The second week of the World Women's Volleyball League has begun, and the Chinese women's volleyball team has also ushered in a new competition. In the first round against the Belgian women's volleyball team, the Chinese women's volleyball team played a heroic role, ending the confrontation with a score of 3:0, giving a good start to the second week of the game.
In the hearts of many Chinese people, the Chinese women's volleyball team represents a tenacious and hard-working spirit, and the character of the women's volleyball girls who do not accept defeat has always been praised by people. There have been many great players among them, and today we want to talk about Zhao Ruirui, who is known as "Xiao Langping".
Born in a volleyball family called "Xiao Lang Ping"
Zhao Ruirui was born in 1998 in a sports family, her father was once the main member of the Jiangsu men's volleyball team, her mother was the main deputy attacker of the Liaoning women's volleyball team, and her sister was also a basketball player. Because of such excellent genes, Zhao Ruirui was very different from other children at birth, and the midwife nurse directly said that she must have a talent for volleyball when she saw her big foot, and that she might become the second Lang Ping when she grew up.
When she grew up, Zhao Ruirui really lived up to expectations. Inheriting the excellent genes of her parents, Zhao Ruirui's height reached 1 meter 5 when she was 5 years old, which was prominent among her peers. Under the influence of her parents, she was exposed to volleyball at a very young age, and I have to say that she is indeed very talented, after several years of training, Zhao Ruirui was selected by the Bayi team of young women's volleyball team in 1994.
After consolidating the basic skills in the youth team, Zhao Ruirui successfully entered the first team, when her height had reached 1 meter 97, which was extremely conspicuous in the team. Except for a fall during training that caused a meniscus injury, Zhao Ruirui's volleyball path is very smooth. In 1999, she received a notice of joining the national team as she wished.
Fame is in sight
At that time, the head coach of the national team was very optimistic about Zhao Ruirui, who had superior conditions, and would also open a small stove for her from time to time to carry out targeted training. Zhao Ruirui's progress is also becoming more and more obvious day by day. But the good times did not last long, after the end of the Asian Championships, Zhao Ruirui's former meniscus injury recurred, and she fell on the training ground again.
The team decided to let her stop training and have surgery as soon as possible to recuperate. Zhao Ruirui underwent surgery to remove the medial meniscus, and missed the World Cup and the Olympic Games. Two years later, Zhao Ruirui, who had basically recovered from her injuries, returned to the national team, when the head coach of the national team had become Chen Zhonghe. After Chen Zhonghe took over the women's volleyball team, he carried out a series of reforms, and Zhao Ruirui was entrusted with heavy responsibilities by him and became the main force in the team.
In the final of the 2001 Asian Championship, Zhao Ruirui played well in the first place and won the "Most Valuable Player" award. In the 2002 World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix, Zhao Ruirui was successfully elected as the most popular player. Later in the 2003 World Cup, Zhao Ruirui not only returned to the world peak with the team, but also was named the "best slam dunk", and for a while the Chinese people called her "XiaoLangping".
Encountered a team doctor misdiagnosed and sent to the future
Zhao Ruirui originally thought that after this, she would be able to play a piece of her own world in the volleyball world, but she did not expect that fate had made a great joke for her. Less than half a year before the Athens Olympic Games, Zhao Ruirui was accidentally injured in training, after the hospital examination, the doctor gave the conclusion of "suspected bone fracture", Zhao Ruirui returned to the team to find a team doctor, the team doctor Jiang Wei held her film but did not care much, thinking that she was just ordinary periostitis, take medicine on it.
At that time, the women's volleyball team was preparing for the Olympic Games, Chen Zhonghe listened to the advice of the team doctor, did not give Zhao Ruirui sick leave, Zhao Ruirui was young, and she also trusted the words of the team doctor, and every day in addition to normal training, she went to the team doctor to take painkillers to eat. After taking the medicine for many days in a row, Zhao Ruirui's leg injury did not improve, and one morning during training, she sat on the ground and cried in pain, and kept shouting that she couldn't stand it.
Chen Zhonghe called the team doctor, but the team doctor said that there was no big problem, and said that Zhao Ruirui just wanted to be lazy and did not want to train. But Chen Zhonghe saw that Zhao Ruirui's pain, which had always worked hard, did not look like it was pretending, so he took her to the hospital. However, by this time the result was already very serious, and Zhao Ruirui was diagnosed with a ruptured tibia fibula in her leg. This means that she is likely to miss her dream again, and the Chinese women's volleyball team will also lose a main player.
Chen Zhonghe was very remorseful about this, constantly apologizing to Zhao Ruirui, and later Zhao Ruirui said on social platforms that she had never resented the coach, and in her heart Chen Zhonghe had always been kind and honest. When Zhao Ruirui recovered, Chen Zhonghe assured that as long as you can go, you will be on the Olympic list. Eventually they both did. At the Athens Olympic Games, Zhao Ruirui, who had just recovered from the injury, started the game, although she limped down after only one round, but as a substitute team member, she witnessed the victory of the Chinese women's volleyball team on the sidelines and stood on the highest podium with the team.
postscript
After the Olympics, Zhao Ruirui underwent another operation, because of the misdiagnosis of the team doctor, zhao Ruirui's right leg was forever left with a nail about the length of the calf. Such Zhao Ruirui can no longer stay in the women's volleyball team for a long time, after helping the Chinese team win the bronze medal at the Beijing Olympic Games, Zhao Ruirui announced her retirement, and the golden generation of women will compete in the field for nearly 20 years, and then return to life.
Today's Zhao Ruirui is 40 years old, and she loves writing and painting, and she has long transformed from a volleyball player into a literary and artistic goddess, and her life is extremely moist. Family members and friends around her have introduced her to the object, but she said that Zhao Ruirui did not come to this world to find a man to marry, I have my own life expectations, in addition to volleyball I can achieve more possibilities. For Zhao Ruirui, the ultimate purpose of life is not to get married and have children, but to live the self she wants most.
