Read paras 5-6 and find more spirits of Chinese women’s volleyball team.
But fighting spirit alone was not enough to guarantee victory. Strong team spirit also contributed greatly to their success.Cooperation between team members is essential. If each individual does her job and works well with others, then the end goal can be achieved. In fact, strong team spirit is more important than the skills of individual players.Zhu Ting, named Most Valuable Player at the Rio Olympics, also identified this as the special ingredient in the team's success: “Teamwork is the key to China's victory. Thanks to my teammates' hard efforts, I had the opportunity to show my spiking skills."
Together, the Chinese women's volleyball team has fought their way through ups and downs.Led by well-known Chinese volleyball player and coach Lang Ping, they have continued to aim high. Lang is only too aware that as soon as a team steps off the victory podium, they need to start from zero to prepare for new challenges ahead. In this way, the team begins its journey to the next Olympics.
