On August 6, Beijing time, the 2024 Paris Olympic Games continued. Today, the Chinese women's volleyball team ushered in a key battle, that is, the women's volleyball 1/4 finals, the Chinese team against the Turkey team. Although the Chinese team won all three games in the group stage, they did not expect that the opponent they faced after qualifying was the powerful Turkey team. In the end, the Chinese team lost 2-3 to Turkey after 5 rounds of hard fighting, and was eliminated.
In this game, the Chinese team fought to the deciding game and still had a good chance to win. However, at the most critical moment, the Chinese team suffered the most controversial penalty of the game. When the score was 10-10, the Turkey women's volleyball team was suspected of hitting the net and scoring, and the Chinese women's volleyball team challenged, but due to the rules, the content of the Hawkeye challenge did not include hitting the net, and the subtitles showed that the Chinese team challenged the net and finally failed. This goal also greatly affected the morale of the Chinese team, and the women's volleyball team lost.
After this defeat, many of the players of the Chinese team shed tears of sadness. They can accept failure, but it's hard to accept the slightest failure. Hui Ruoqi, the former captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team, also choked up at the last moment of the commentary, she said: "I think we should thank the team together.
Fighting for the Olympics again, I believe that Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, Gong Xiangyu, Ding Xia, and Zhang Changning are not only with a yearning for the Olympics, but also a perseverance and inheritance. I said a thousand words into one sentence, I think we love you Chinese women's volleyball team. ”
In fact, after this Olympics, many of the players in the team may be at the end of their Olympic journey. Judging from the age structure of the Chinese women's volleyball team, this may be the last Olympic Games for Zhu Ting, Ding Xia, Zhang Changning and other players.

Even the 24-year-old Li Yingying said in an interview that she was not sure if this was her last Olympics.
