A few days ago, Zhu Ting, the main attacker of the Chinese women's volleyball team, officially announced on social platforms that she will return to the national team and go all out to help the Chinese women's volleyball team qualify for the Paris Olympics. This is undoubtedly a great news for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Zhu Ting is the core figure of the Chinese women's volleyball team, she won the gold medal in the Rio Olympics with the team, and is recognized as one of the world's top attackers.
But for nearly two years, Zhu Ting has struggled with injuries and missed a number of important tournaments. Her return will undoubtedly be an important boost for the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the ticket to the Paris Olympics.
Injuries plagued Zhu Ting for two years felt physically and mentally exhausted
In fact, Zhu Ting's wrist injury can be traced back to 2017 when she went abroad to play. As a result of an accidental fall, Zhu Ting's wrist was injured. During the 2019 Club World Cup, the old injury recurred.
Subsequently, due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, Zhu Ting's wrist treatment was forced to be postponed. It wasn't until after the Tokyo Olympics that she underwent surgery on her wrist.
It can be seen that Zhu Ting has been battling a wrist injury for more than two years. This not only seriously affected her training and competition form, but also made her mentally exhausted and tired.
At the beginning of this year, Zhu Ting said that her physical condition was average, the competition was quite tired, and her wrist was still recovering.
During this period of time, Zhu Ting had to frequently face the decline of her competitive state and even lose interest in volleyball, which undoubtedly troubled her.
According to her, she even had the idea of giving up volleyball, and she applied for retirement from the Henan Provincial Sports Bureau, hoping to stay away from many helplessness in her competitive career.
Fortunately, the care and encouragement from all parties finally rekindled Zhu Ting's fighting spirit. With the encouragement of head coach Lang Ping many times, Zhu Ting gave up the idea of retiring and regained her passion for volleyball.
Through intensive training, her physical condition has also improved significantly. Now, Zhu Ting has announced that she has officially returned to the national team to play for the country, which is exciting.
Regrouping Scandicci won the first game
Before announcing her return to the national team, Zhu Ting was currently playing for Italian side Scandic to achieve better form.
It is gratifying that Scandic defeated strong rival Milan 3-0 in the first leg of the Serie A semi-finals, and Zhu Ting herself also contributed 13 points. This is undoubtedly the best verification of her return to form.
Scandic was able to perform well in the playoffs, and Zhu Ting's outstanding performance contributed a lot. It also gave her valuable game experience and sense of victory for her return to the national team.
I believe that through the adjustment during this period, Zhu Ting is fully ready to contribute to the national team again. She also said that after the end of the Serie A playoffs, she will recover as soon as possible and catch up with the training rhythm of the national team.
Zhu Ting, who had struggled hard with injuries and psychological burdens, is now regrouped and full of confidence. And her Scandicci team, under her leadership, is breaking new ground.
Undoubtedly, this will provide a solid foundation for Zhu Ting to play her strength at a higher level after returning to the national team.
Help the Chinese women's volleyball team to march to Paris together
The Chinese women's volleyball team is in a transition period of alternating between the old and the new, and its performance in the international arena has been uneven in recent years. Especially when Zhu Ting has been away from the team for a long time, the strength of the team will inevitably be affected.
Zhu Ting's return will undoubtedly be a key force for the team to turn things around.
The glory of winning gold at the Rio Olympics still inspires the entire Chinese women's volleyball team to move forward. And Zhu Ting is the soul of the Chinese women's volleyball team's offensive. With her joining, the hope of the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the ticket to the Paris Olympics will be brighter.
According to the plan, the Chinese women's volleyball team will play in the World Women's Volleyball League in May, striving to enter the Paris Olympics through the rankings. This is undoubtedly a test of the joint efforts of the whole team.
And Zhu Ting's return is just in time for this critical juncture, and she will definitely go all out, fight side by side with the team, and fight together for this common goal.
I believe that under the guidance of head coach Lang Ping, Zhu Ting will also find her best competitive condition as soon as possible and give full play to her core values. Driven by her, the Chinese women's volleyball team will regain its former majesty and march towards Paris together!
