Glory Days May Be Over in Volleyball NOVEMBER 12, 20 CHINA DAILY PAGE 7 VOLLEYBALL Glory days may be over in volleyball WOMEN’S TEAM APPEARS TO BE IN DECLINE AFTER A DECADE OF DOMINATION ON WORLD STAGE By CHEN XIANGFENG CHINA DAILY BEIJING — Chinese fans got used to watching the women’s volleyball team gaining glory on international stage while the nation’s basketball and soccer teams struggled. However, the glory days may be at an end. Th e women’s volleyball team, which dominated the world by winning World Cup, World Championship and Olympic titles in the 1980s, hit rock bot- tom at the just-concluded World Championship when it failed to reach the quarterfi nals. It was a huge blow to its prepa- rations for the Asian Games. China has won the past three Asian Games titles but a series of setbacks in international compe- titions and trouble between the players and coaches have cast increasing doubts over its chances of defending the crown. China has struggled since winning gold at the 2004 Athens Games. Th e team has seen a num- ber of head coaches come and go amid rumors that the national players are divided into two groups and have no respect for each other or the coaches. “Both the players and I have huge pressure coming into the games,” said coach Yu Juemin.

    Chinese Women’s National Volleyball Team Arrives in Macau and Prepares for the Macau Galaxy Entertainment FIVB World Grand Prix August 03, 2009 Lead by their new head coach Cai Bin, the Chinese Women’s national volleyball team arrives in Macau from Ningbo this afternoon to prepare for the 2009 Macau Galaxy Entertainment FIVB World Grand Prix, which kicks off this Friday. To facilitate the Chinese team, the event’s title sponsor, Galaxy Entertainment Group (“Galaxy”), has arranged for its flagship peninsula property, StarWorld Hotel (“StarWorld”), to arrange a warm welcome reception for the Chinese team upon their arrival. In addition, the hotel will also provide special accommodation and dining services to the team during their stay in Macau. The Chinese national team, who was the first to arrive in Macau, received a warm welcome from senior management executives and fans at StarWorld Hotel today. Cai Bin, who visits Macau for the first time as the Chinese national women’s volleyball team head coach, said that he hopes that competing in Macau will help his team build experience and further improve their performance. He acknowledges that the reorganized Chinese team still has many areas for further improvement but asserts that his team will make use of the opportunity by practicing and competing at the same time. Regarding his hopes for the Macau leg, he said, “Brazil is the strongest among the three national teams. I hope that our team overcomes this pressure and treats it as a motivation to try our best and achieve the best results”. Wang Yimei, who was informed that she was one of the candidates elected for the “My Favorite Galaxy Star Player Award” upon her arrival in Macau, said that she is very flattered and thanks her fans for their love and support.
