Roundup: World Women's Volleyball Ruling in Crying Need
Famous woman volleyball player and coach Lang Ping has once long been with her Chinese counterparts to have won China two silvers and one bronze medal. But she said the Chinese women's volleyball team could not stay long at a world advanced level when no change should be made of things in old rut.
Lang Ping and Wang Jiawei have both been benefited by experience coaching on alien teams abroad. They said volleyball event in China must accord with international practice and more contests are needed by Chinese teams to compare notes with other world advanced abroad.
Typical are Olympian teams of Russia as well as those of Netherlands, Yugoslavia, and of Italy. As are known to people, many team members of these had once been with world top Italian teams and have become tough and strong under various clubs. Russian teams had been reduced to nothing like their past for a breakaway Russia in the place of the former Soviet Union. But many outstanding Russian players like those of its men's and women's volleyball teams have come to the fore through intensive training in Italian clubs instead of leagues in Russia. The Russian teams have come to prove their new true worth as world top competitors. After winning last year's World Cup, they have got the aspiration to seizing Sydney crown. We should say this has nothing to do with a planned economy but a world advanced system of sports universally followed.
Back in the days of Yuan Weimin, choice players in China and many other countries abroad had been grouped into teams as many a varied a task force set on an assigned mission to advance national interest. By the 1990s, players in many countries have got much improved, forces realigned, and grouped on a higher international plane into clubs and leagues. Meanwhile, enlarged gaps come to stay with Chinese teams from their foreign counterparts. Summarily speaking, all things considered, China must get away from its old rut. Merely a change of coach will help China to go nowhere.
