This year is an Olympic year, but now it is mid-February, and the list of the women's volleyball national team has not been announced for a long time.
This year is the Olympic year, many sports teams are not on holiday, they are all in the winter training step by step! Even the women's volleyball team reported the start of training on 2.1 last year, and it stands to reason that the women's volleyball team should report on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year at the latest, so according to the list announced four or five days ago in previous years, the list should have been announced a long time ago, but so far there is no news!
The author thinks that most of the list has been decided, but there is controversy within the volleyball association, so it is still in the game, and it has not been announced before it has been finalized! Or there is a possibility that once the list is announced, it will stir up a thousand waves, so it is simply announced at the last time, or it may not be announced at all, and the volleyball association is ready to privately notify the players of the training camp!
Whether it is announced or not, it is a fact that the national team roster is now late! You must know that last year's New Year was early, so the training camp was only on the 11th day of the first month, but this year is an Olympic year, and unlike in the past, the World League was originally advanced to the middle of May, and the New Year was still 20 days late, so there is no reason why the ninth day of the first month is not a training camp!
The author believes that the reason why the Volleyball Association does not announce the list is mainly because of the question of whether Zhu Ting will return! Zhu Ting said in an interview before, "I haven't thought about it yet", and the Volleyball Association will give him a few more days to think about it! Because after all, the Olympics are too important, if Zhu Ting does not come back, the women's volleyball team will not say that it is the champion, and it will be difficult to enter the semi-finals!
Of course, if the Volleyball Association and Zhu Ting have negotiated, Zhu Ting will not be able to come back immediately! Because Zhu Ting is still fighting abroad, if she returns, this training camp will be named at most!
And there is also a problem: the run-in with the team! due to the two wins of three matches in the semi-finals of the Italian league, which will be held on April 10, April 14, and April 17, 2024. The VNL start time is May 15, even if Zhu Ting comes back from the semifinals on April 17, it will only be less than a month, which is not enough to run in.
And she needs to rest for a week when she returns to China, and at the same time needs physical strength training for 2 weeks, but the team will depart by plane on May 11, how can she play a game in less than a week?
