She looks pure and sweet, like the girl next door, but on the court is passionate and explosive. She is the "most beautiful second pass" of the women's volleyball team - Ding Xia.
Ding Xia's "national brand" career can be described as "inspirational". She began to contact volleyball at the age of 10, and because of her talent, she entered the Liaoning provincial team at the age of 17. But since then, she has not been able to get the chinese women's volleyball team, until 2014, Ding Xia finally got Lang Ping's attention, and then successfully selected for the national team.
2014 is both Ding Xia's highlight period and her "darkest" moment. At that year's Swiss Women's Volleyball Elite, Ding Xia was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and she served as the captain of the team. But this also brought her invisible pressure, resulting in many low-level mistakes in the game, during the game, netizens once ridiculed Ding Xia as Lang Ping's "relationship household". Due to the excessive pressure of public opinion at that time, Ding Xia was "kicked" out of the national team after the game, which made her feel devastated inside. At that time, it was reported that Ding Xia even had the idea of retiring.
Afterwards, Lang Guiding privately found Ding Xia and pushed her heartily and said, "I have always used people without doubt, and your current technical level is still lacking." You need to go back and practice well and try to see your progress when you come back. Lang Ping's words directly woke up Ding Xia. After that, through her hard training, she was finally selected for the national team again and became one of the core members of the team.
Ding Xia, born in January 1990, is now a "thirties veteran", she helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win the championship at the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup, and at the same time, she herself was also named the "best second pass" by the organizing committee of the event. However, at the recent Tokyo Olympic Games, Ding Xia performed uneventfully and lost her previous spirituality. Coupled with the problems of age, injuries and other issues, after the Olympic Games, there are constantly media reports that Ding Xia is about to retire. In response, she posted a video of her return to training on social media to break rumors in this way.
In terms of emotional life, Ding Xia, now 31, had several gossip "stories", but in the end they all ended. Today, this "most beautiful second pass" still has not been able to find his own happy home.
