On April 9, 2024, Beijing time, after Zhu Ting and the Chinese Volleyball Association confirmed their return to the national team, the FIVB followed up the report, introduced Zhu Ting in detail at length, called Zhu Ting a Chinese superstar, and made it clear that Zhu Ting would work hard to help her national team advance to the Paris Olympics, especially with a row. At the same time, the FIVB also updated the 23-member list of the Chinese women's volleyball team, including Zhu Ting, of course, this is the list that needs to be qualified by the FIVB.
The Serie A Women's Volleyball League has entered a critical stage, and Zhu Ting and Scandicci's teammates are hitting the finals, and at this critical moment, Zhu Ting announced that she will return to the national team during the World Women's Volleyball League. For the Chinese women's volleyball team, this is great news, because now Zhu Ting is in good physical and psychological condition, and she is ready to play for the national team again, and her only goal is to help the Chinese women's volleyball team get an Olympic quota.
Zhu Ting also talked about the difficult moments in the past, and once had the idea of retiring, but with Lang Ping's encouragement and support, Zhu Ting trained hard, gradually recovered her state, and now she is getting stronger and stronger. Although Zhu Ting has been absent from the national team in the past few years, her contribution will certainly not be forgotten, and the FIVB has praised Zhu Ting many times, and this time Zhu Ting announced her return to the national team, and the FIVB once again introduced Zhu Ting at length and congratulated Zhu Ting on her return to the national team.
The FIVB directly called Zhu Ting a superstar in China, which is a big truth, and the FIVB also pointed out the goal of Zhu Ting's return this time, that is, to help the Chinese women's volleyball team qualify for the Paris Olympics. For this goal, Zhu Ting refused to participate in business activities during the national team, nor would she negotiate new business cooperation, which is Zhu Ting's attitude and determination, which is admirable. Zhu Ting is back, although the coach has changed and her teammates have changed a lot, I believe that the Chinese women's volleyball team is still the most united team and has the warmest atmosphere in the team.
In addition, the FIVB updated the Chinese women's volleyball team's squad, which is a list that needs to be qualified by the FIVB, not the World Women's Volleyball League squad. There are a total of 23 players in this list, Zhu Ting's name is among them, and the 23-man squad is as follows:
Main attack: He, Wang Yizhu, Wang Yunrui, Wu Mengjie, Zhang Changning, Zhong Hui, Zhuang Yushan, Zhu Ting
Secondary attack: Gao Yi, Wang Wenhan, Wang Yuanyuan, Yang Hanyu, Yuan Xinyue, Zeng Jieya, Zheng Yixin
Second setter: Diao Linyu, Ding Xia, Xu Xiaoting
Answer: Duan Mengke, Gong Xiangyu
Free people: Ni Feifei, Wang Mengjie, Xu Jianan
Compared with the previous training list, the lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team has increased Zhu Ting, and there are no other changes, and it may be difficult for Yao Di, another excellent setter, to return. Of course, after the training camp, Cai Bin will determine the final list to participate in the World Women's Volleyball League, because the Chinese women's volleyball team will be shortlisted for the Olympic team through the world ranking, then Cai Bin will definitely send the strongest team to participate in the World Women's Volleyball League to ensure that nothing goes wrong. This is also the first important task for Zhu Ting to return to the national team, contributing to the team's Olympic qualification.
For Zhu Ting, the Serie A season is not over yet, and the rest time may be very limited after the end, and she will immediately devote herself to national team training, run in with her teammates, and keep up with the progress of the national team, which is indeed very stressful. I hope Zhu Ting will stay healthy, face the international competition with a relaxed attitude, and get back to her peak form as soon as possible!
