On October 16, Yan Ni, Ding Xia, Zhang Changning, Gong Xiangyu and Li Yingying, the five world champions of the Chinese women's volleyball team, appeared collectively and attended the event together. In an interview, the women's volleyball girls collectively thanked Lang Ping's teaching, which was heart-warming.
Among these 5 people, in addition to Li Yingying, the other 4 are Rio Olympic champions. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team encountered Waterloo, folded in the group stage, went out early, and had no chance to defend the title, Li Yingying felt the harshness of fate in her first Olympic trip, and she had no chance to become an Olympic champion. After the game, Li Yingying hugged the outgoing mentor Lang Ping and cried into tears!
Back in China, the women's volleyball girls participated in the National Games again, this time it was Li Yingying who laughed to the end, she led the Tianjin women's volleyball team to win the gold medal of the National Games, slightly making up for the regret of the Olympic defeat. Zhang Changning and Gong Xiangyu led the Jiangsu team to the second place and did not have the opportunity to defend the title. Ding Xia led the Liaoning women's volleyball team to win the third place, and the veteran Yan Ni missed the last few games due to injury and failed to reach the podium.
The Tokyo Olympics is an eternal pain in the hearts of women's volleyball girls, but life always has to go on. Yan Ni, Ding Xia, Zhang Changning, Gong Xiangyu, and Li Yingying reunited. Zhang Changning's relationship with Ding Xia is notoriously good, and when Zhang Changning stood on the stage, he also hugged Ding Xia by the waist and let her stand next to him.
Gong Xiangyu said that Lang Dao not only teaches volleyball skills, but also the quality of being a person. Yan Ni said: "Lang Guide himself has a lot of difficulties, and he transmits positive energy to us. In the future, I will also take Director Lang as my learning example. ”
Li Yingying: "When I first went, I was not confident enough, Lang Dao told me that you Li Yingying is the best Li Yingying, be the best Li Yingying, this sentence has always inspired me." Remember Lang Dao's teachings and be a better version of yourself. ”
Speaking of the expectations for the new coach, Ding Xia said: No matter who the Chinese women's volleyball coach is, who the team members are, the goal remains the same, and it is necessary to return to the peak of the world. After a break, Lang Ping, who has left the national team, also began a new job, returning to the stadium to teach students at the Zhuhai campus of Beijing Normal University.
