2016 Rio Olympics Women’s Volleyball Awards Ceremony

Full video replay of the Chinese women's volleyball team's championship award ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics women's volleyball award ceremony

On August 21, Beijing time, the women's volleyball team came back to win the championship with 3-1 revenge after 12 years. Serbia, perhaps, this is the spirit of the women's volleyball team that shines forever. Returning to the top of the world, the award ceremony saw the spirit of the women's volleyball team again. With the never-ending fighting spirit of the women's volleyball girls, the spirit of the women's volleyball team will always shine and move forward proudly!

The Chinese women's volleyball team won the Olympic gold medal again after 12 years, and Zhu Ting took the greatest credit. The main attacker Zhu Ting is undoubtedly the hope of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the next few years. This World Youth Championship MVP is not like some other tall main attackers in China who only rely on their height and strength to hit and dunk in front of the net. Zhu Ting is characterized by her flexible mind, versatile skills, and ability to attack both the front and rear rows. Her comprehensive ability enhances the Chinese team's ability to adjust offense and gives the team more confidence in the stalemate stage.

In the final, the crucial third game that determined the trend of the game, they faced a crazy counterattack by their opponent Serbia. Zhu Ting secured the Chinese team's victory with consecutive dunks.

Because she, like Lang Ping, is the only member of the Chinese women's volleyball team who has become the main force of the national team without participating in the National Games for many years, she was dubbed "Little Lang Ping" by the outside world. With her strong offensive power, Zhu Ting quickly grew into the number one rising star of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Zhu Ting also showed a calmness and domineering attitude that was inconsistent with her age on the court.

This year Zhu Ting is only 22 years old. She is young and has no reason for us not to believe in the future of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

We often think of the past glory of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

In the early 1980s, China, which had just started its reform and opening up, was struggling to make progress. "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping and a group of women's volleyball players reached the top with the spirit of "unity and struggle, tenacious struggle, and brave climbing to the top" On top of the world, achieved five consecutive championships. For the Chinese, this spirit has long transcended the scope of sports and has become a complex that has always inspired the morale of the Chinese people.

The "women's volleyball spirit" that is "in tune" with the development of the times has become synonymous with "hard work and struggle" and has spread from the sports world to all walks of life. "Learn the spirit of the women's volleyball team" was not only a slogan that could be seen everywhere in the streets of that era, but also inspired Chinese people to move forward in actual work and life.

The spirit of constant struggle and never giving up has become the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The concepts of selfless dedication, unity and cooperation, hard work and self-improvement shine on generations after generations of people running into the distance. Even though it spans thousands of mountains and rivers and years, this spirit of daring to win, being able to win, and losing beautifully even if you lose is the real champion.

In 1981, under the leadership of the then head coach Yuan Weimin, Lang Ping, Sun Jinfang, Chen Zhaodi and other players won the Chinese women's volleyball team's first world championship at the World Cup in Japan, and was also the first in China's three major sports. World Champion. Since then, world women's volleyball has truly entered the "Chinese era." In the 1982 World Championships in Peru, the Chinese team defeated the host Peruvian team 3:0 to win the World Championships for the first time. Yuan Weimin's bold use of young players Liang Yan and Zheng Meizhu was called a "magic touch." In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the Chinese girls participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. They sang all the way to the finals and finally defeated their opponents 3:0 to win the "three consecutive championships". In the showdown of the century between the 1985 Tokyo World Cup and the Cuban team, the powerful Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Cuban team 3:1 and achieved an incredible "four consecutive championships." In the 1986 World Championships in Czechoslovakia, the Chinese women's volleyball team created the myth of winning eight games and became the first team in the history of world volleyball to win "five consecutive championships"!

The five consecutive championships created in the five years from 1981 to 1986 were the pinnacle of the women's volleyball team and a supreme honor. After that, the women's volleyball team entered a long dormant period.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, only fifth place made the fans feel disappointed. The platoon management center had no choice but to make the decision to change the coach. The little-known Chen Zhonghe took office. The head coach, known as "the best assistant and best assistant", boldly used young athletes such as Zhao Ruirui, Feng Kun, Yang Hao and others to reorganize the Chinese women's volleyball team according to his own ideals.

Reusing veterans is indeed safer in many cases, but in many cases innovation is bound to experience pain. Injecting fresh blood into the younger generation is the general trend of sports development. Gradually the veterans are slowly being marginalized. But everyone has no complaints, everyone knows that this is the country's interests above all else.

At the 2002 World Championships in Germany, the Chinese women's volleyball team fell into a "handicap crisis" and ultimately lost to Italy and missed the finals, only finishing fourth. After a year of hard work, the Chinese women's volleyball team swept the host Japanese women's volleyball team at the 2003 World Cup in Japan without any blood and won the world championship after a 17-year absence. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team ushered in true glory. With the core player Zhao Ruirui injured, the tenacious Chinese women's volleyball team made a strong comeback from a passive situation of falling behind 0:2, and finally defeated Russia 3:2 and regained the Olympic championship after 20 years! Feng Kun, Zhao Ruirui, Zhou Suhong and other names began to become the benchmark for Chinese athletes.

In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team, which had experienced the transition between old and new, struggled to move forward with tired legs in a difficult situation. Veterans such as Feng Kun and Zhou Suhong suffered from injuries and failed to defend their titles. In the end, the women's volleyball team gained a A bronze medal.

In the 2012 London Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team was unfortunately surrounded by countless powerful enemies, and every battle was extremely difficult. The Chinese women's volleyball team ultimately ranked second in the group with a record of three wins and two losses, including the Beijing Olympic champions and runners-up Brazil and the United States. However, in the quarterfinals, the Chinese women's volleyball team unexpectedly lost to Japan, which had never lost in the Olympics. The team missed the semi-finals, broke away from its mortal enemy but lost to the underdogs and ended up tied for fifth place, which is more or less regrettable.

But at this moment, the pain of failure is no longer important. Today, we are the champions!

At this moment, feel the crazy cheers and noisy atmosphere around you. We have witnessed the mighty and long history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, which has had its peaks and troughs. Competitive sports are so cruel. In many cases, injuries, luck and other factors have almost defeated the Chinese women's volleyball team, but what really makes us survive is our firm belief.

When stubbornness turns into persistence, and the former faith turns into faith, this is the spirit of women's volleyball team.

From being ridiculed and questioned before going to the Olympics to now fighting all the way to the finals, from reversing Brazil to "revenge" the Netherlands, the Chinese women's volleyball team has upheld this spirit and truly made countless people People's eyes filled with tears. The spirit of continuous struggle and never giving up has become the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The concepts of selfless dedication, unity and cooperation, hard work and self-improvement shine on generations after generations of people running into the distance.

What is more meaningful than the gold medal is that in these ups and downs, we have accompanied the Chinese women's volleyball team to taste the sweetness of success and the bitterness of regretful defeat. And this exactly explains the true meaning of the Olympics. With the never-ending fighting spirit of the women's volleyball girls, the spirit of the women's volleyball team will always shine and move forward proudly!

Full review of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Panoramic Olympic Games:

Beijing time, August 17: In the quarter-finals of the women's volleyball team, China defeated the host Brazil 3-2 and advanced to the semi-finals. Before the game , the balance of victory seemed to have already tilted towards the Brazilian team. The nearly 9,500 spectators at the scene created a roaring and tsunami-like atmosphere, which even made the Chinese women's volleyball team face a "last fight" situation. After losing the first game, the women's volleyball girls managed to hold on until the fifth game, knocking out the world's number one host team from their doorstep and advancing to the semi-finals. Nothing is impossible in Rio. Zhu Ting's last smash hit all the booing spectators in the face, and the ball landed silently. Lang Ping said bluntly after the game that this was the last chance for the Chinese women's volleyball team to redeem themselves in the Olympics, and he thanked the players for their hard work and dedication.
