On June 19, the draw ceremony for the women's volleyball team at the 2024 Paris Olympics was held, and the grouping situation was about to be revealed. The Chinese women's volleyball team is divided into the third pot, and the three teams are most afraid that if the signing is not good, or repeat the mistakes of the Tokyo Olympics, they will miss the top 8 in the group stage.

In the just-concluded World Women's Volleyball League round-robin match, the Chinese women's volleyball team won all 4 games in Hong Kong, overturned the 2 top 5 Turkey and Poland, and finally ranked 4th in the standings with 9 wins and 3 losses, and locked in the Olympic qualification while being shortlisted for the finals. The Chinese team is ranked 6th in the world, and is placed in Pot 3 with Japan and the Netherlands, and will avoid opponents in the same bracket in the draw.

According to the draw rules of the Paris Olympics, the 12 shortlisted teams are divided into 3 groups, each with 4 teams, and the top 2 teams in each group and the 2 best third places advance to the top 8. Hosts France automatically occupy the No. 1 spot in Group A, while World No. 1 Brazil and World No. 2 Italy sit in Group B and Group C respectively. The best signing position of the Chinese women's volleyball team is in the same group as the host France, and the worst signing position is drawn to the first pot team Brazil or Italy, and the second pot team the United States.

In the past 10 Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team has won 3 golds, but now the team led by Cai Bin is not at the top level. In the last Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team fell to the bottom and missed the top 8 for the first time to create the worst record. In this Paris Olympics, whether the Chinese women's volleyball team can refuse to repeat the mistakes of the past depends largely on the results of the draw.
