In the early hours of this morning, the FIVB officially announced the latest regulations for the women's volleyball competition in the finals of the Paris Olympics, which will have a very big impact on the lineup adjustment of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
We know that the women's volleyball game of the Olympic Games is a little different from the usual women's volleyball game, and the list will be relatively less than 1 point, like the Women's Volleyball World Championships is allowed to allow 14 players to sign up for the competition, and the women's volleyball league is allowed to be in the form of 14 + 2, and there can be 2 substitute players, not to enter the game list, but after each game can be adjusted, but the number of players in the Olympic Games is relatively small, only 12 players. This can also make the dream of many athletes to participate in the Olympics very slim. Especially for some women's volleyball powers, such as teams like the Chinese women's volleyball team, there are many good athletes, but because of the small number of places, it is possible to follow the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in the World Championships and World Cup players, but there is no way to get on the stage of the Olympic Games, such regrets may be less in this year's Paris Olympics.
The FIVB has officially announced the latest rules, and the number of registrations for each match at the Paris Olympics will remain unchanged at 12, but each team can add one substitute. If the player doesn't make the squad, he has to sit in the stands and watch the game, but when the game is over, the roster can be adjusted, which means that there are 13 people who can go to the Olympics.
I think the biggest beneficiary of this policy should be Wu Mengjie, the main attacker who is currently in the Volleyball Super League, including last year's Women's Volleyball League. Why Wu Mengjie was able to get this +1 place, she has several favorable conditions. First of all, she is very young, and there are relatively few opportunities to play in this kind of place, so she usually tends to bring a younger athlete with her, but let her feel the atmosphere of the competition. Second, considering that after Zhu Ting's return, the position of the Chinese women's volleyball team's main attack should be relatively stable, especially the controversial Wang Yunlu, who is a guarantee main attacker, and it is still a great help to the Chinese women's volleyball team. The combination of Li Yingying, Zhu Ting and Wang Yunlu is relatively stable. If you want to break through these three people, it is very difficult to enter the list of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
But Zhu Ting's injury is a big hidden danger, in this case, bringing a substitute for the main attack may be a better choice for the Chinese women's volleyball team. In the last Tokyo Olympics, the rout of the Chinese women's volleyball team was actually to some extent related to Zhu Ting's recurrence of injury before the Olympic Games. So in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, it would be safer to give this +1 place to 1 main attacker.
In the end, it was naturally Wu Mengjie's own opportunity. Whether it is last year's World Women's Volleyball League, including the Asian Games, and then this year's Volleyball Super League, she also has a very good strength.
