Zhu Ting and Ding Xia lead: The latest 26-member list of the Chinese women's volleyball team was announced
Beijing time on Monday, April 15, 2024. Today is April 15th, yes, in another month, that is, May 15th, this year's World Women's Volleyball League will start. In the past, this event was more of a role for the Chinese women's volleyball team to usher in training. But this year is different, because the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to go straight to Paris for the first time in last year's Olympic qualifiers, which means that the Chinese women's volleyball team must go all out and qualify for the Olympic Games in the World Women's Volleyball League that starts in May!
In this list just released, it can be seen that there are a total of 26 people, and there are enough personnel. World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team will participate in Brazil, Macau, Hong Kong, and finally, if the Chinese women's volleyball team enters the finals, this year's World Women's Volleyball League finals will be held in Thailand.
From mid-May to the end of June, it is a very good opportunity for the Chinese women's volleyball team to test the effect of preparation, and it is also an opportunity for Zhu Ting and the whole team to run in and cooperate. Since the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Zhu Ting has not returned to the national team, and this time she announced her return and immediately re-wore the No. 2 jersey, which is also a trust that Cai Bin gave Zhu Ting.
In this list of 26 people, the number of main attackers is the largest, and Zhu Ting leads a total of 9 people. The second secondary attack is led by Yuan Xinyue, with a total of 6 people. The receiving position is led by Gong Xiangyu, a total of 4 people. The second setter is led by Ding Xia, a total of 4 people. The free man is led by Wang Mengjie, a total of 3 people.
In this list of 26 people, five have participated in the Rio Olympics: Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, Zhang Changning, Gong Xiangyu and Ding Xia. There are 8 people who have participated in the Tokyo Olympics: Zhu Ting, Li Yingying, Zhang Changning, Wang Yuanyuan, Yuan Xinyue, Gong Xiangyu, Ding Xia, and Wang Mengjie. The age structure of the team is reasonable, and the players have a lot of experience. From the championship in Rio to the trough in Tokyo, and now in the Paris cycle, Cai Bin and her national team continue to fight a turnaround.
It is not yet known how many people can register for the Paris Olympics, whether it is 12, 13, or 14. But with a high probability, the final list will be selected from these 26 people.
