The 34-year-old Ding Xia stayed abroad for the first time in her volleyball career, and ended successfully with the Polish Super Cup championship and the Polish league championship. Next, she will return to the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in training and prepare for the World Women's Volleyball League. Chinese women's volleyball players have gained a lot, Zhu Ting is still competing in the finals of the Italian League, leading 1-0 in aggregate, and she also won the championship and returned to the Chinese women's volleyball team to prepare for the game?
For the Paris Olympics, Ding Xia chose to stay abroad to improve her condition. She came to the Polish powerhouse Polynice Chemical. The team suffered a financial crisis during the season, but the players still worked hard, first winning the Super Cup, and then going on to win the league with a 3-0 sweep in the finals.
The Polyice team won the league championship for the 11th time in history, and it was also the ninth time to win the Polish women's volleyball top league championship! It is a pity that Ding Xia is a substitute setter this season and did not get a chance to play in the finals. Ding Xia didn't play enough time during the regular season. The 34-year-old Ding Xia did not get reused, and of course it is worth rejoicing to win the championship. Ding Xia stood on the podium with a bright smile, her smile was beautiful.
Ding Xia is a member of the Liaoning women's volleyball team youth training, unfortunately she has been difficult to win the championship in the Liaoning women's volleyball team, but she left the Liaoning women's volleyball team to have championship luck.
Ding Xia briefly joined the Beijing women's volleyball team in 2019 and helped the Beijing women's volleyball team win the league championship in the 2018-19 season. This time she won the Polish league title again.
In addition, in the national team, she is the hero of the Chinese women's volleyball team to win a series of glory in the Rio Olympic cycle and the Tokyo Olympic cycle. Ding Xia won the 2015 Women's Volleyball World Cup, the 2016 Rio Olympics, the 2017 Women's Volleyball Champions Cup, the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup and the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Ding Xia faded out of the national team for a while, and seemed to be paving the way for retirement. After all, Yan Ni and Liu Xiaotong have retired, especially Liu Xiaotong got married. Unexpectedly, Ding Xia will be recruited by Cai Bin into the national team in 2023.
But obviously, Ding Xia's form in 2023 has declined a lot, you must know that Ding Xia was selected for the best team in the 2017 Women's Volleyball Grand Prix Finals and the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup.
Ding Xia is 34 years old and is currently the oldest player in the Chinese women's volleyball team. It stands to reason that she has achieved fame, and she has a lot of injuries and illnesses, so it is long overdue to rest. Only with infinite love and reluctance for volleyball, Ding Xia will still fight in the volleyball arena at this age.
Ding Xia ended her journey in the first season of studying abroad and will meet with the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in training and preparation. Zhu Ting will also play in the Italian league for a period of time and return to the Chinese women's volleyball team after playing the game. I look forward to Zhu Ting's overseas journey this season!
