At the Tokyo Olympic Games, the U.S. women's volleyball team swept the Brazilian women's volleyball team 3:0, thus winning the Olympic gold medal for the first time in history, and with this gold medal, the U.S. delegation completed the counter-overtake of the Chinese delegation at the last moment of the gold medal rankings. Winning the game, the American women's volleyball team did not celebrate wildly, they were more happy and crying, because for the veteran Hill, Larson and Akin Radvo, etc., this is the last Olympic Games of their careers. Hill, 32, Larson, 35, and Akin Radlawo, 34, would be a lifelong regret not to win the Olympic gold medal, and now they are finally done.
Just now, the former captain of the U.S. women's volleyball team Hill first announced the official retirement, and the 32-year-old finally had to say goodbye to the fans after achieving a Grand Slam. Fans have sent her blessings on Hill's Twitter, praising her contributions to the American women's volleyball team, and the veteran has too much bitterness along the way.
As we all know, the European League is the top stage in the world, so Hill went to the Wakif Bank of the Turkish Women's Volleyball League early in his career, and Zhu Ting of the Chinese women's volleyball team also played for this team, and Zhu Ting actually became a teammate with Hill. However, their positions overlap, so there is also a certain competitive relationship in the team. However, due to Zhu Ting's good popularity, she and Hill got along very happily, and Hill also gained a lot of Chinese fans.
In 2014, Zhu Ting was a fledgling, and she played a world-class performance in the world championships for the first time, and became famous in one battle. In the final, the Chinese women's volleyball team led by Lang Ping was against the American women's volleyball team led by Kirari, Zhu Ting against The Hill, and finally ended with Hill's victory. Unfortunately, Hill won the World Championship, and the Chinese women's volleyball team ranked second. Since then, Lang Ping has known Hill, and every sino-US confrontation Lang Ping will focus on studying Hill, because she gives Lang Ping a headache too much.
With the decline in the level of competition, Hill's status in the U.S. women's volleyball team has also changed from the core to the substitute, in the Tokyo Olympic Games she was Thompson's substitute, playing time has been very small, it is conceivable that the national team will no longer have Hill's position after that, which is also the inevitable result of the replacement of the old and the new.
In fact, before the trip to Tokyo, Hill had already made plans to retire, but the news that Hill announced his retirement just two days after the Olympic Games was more or less surprising. Hill has won countless honors such as Olympic gold and bronze medals, Turkish Super League titles, World Championships and MVP in her career, and she can really leave with her head held high after achieving a Grand Slam.
Hill's sweet looks have captured many Chinese fans, and it is said that Hill is still single, hoping that she will find her own belonging after retiring from the army.
