The Chinese women's volleyball team for the Paris Olympics was released, and they entered Group A, in the same group as the United States, Serbia and the host France. A total of 12 teams of women's volleyball teams will be divided into three groups, each with four teams, and the top two + the two best third teams will advance.
After the grouping was released, fans felt that Group A was a group of death for France, because the Chinese women's volleyball team, Serbia and France won all the championships of the three women's volleyball competitions in the past 10 years, among which the United States won the 2014 World Championship and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic champion, Serbia won the 2018 and 2022 World Championships, and the Chinese women's volleyball team has the most championships, winning two World Cup championships and the Rio Olympic Games.
On the other hand, the Chinese women's volleyball team, Serbia and the United States women's volleyball team are also the champions, runners-up and third place winners of the Rio Olympics, which fully shows that these three teams are the three best national teams in the current service, while the French women's volleyball team is in a group with these three teams. Just after the grouping was released, the French main attacker Cassaut directly issued a sighing expression on the draw results, obviously there was nothing to love. Group A is expected to be out of the French team, China, Serbia and the United States are destined to have two teams to qualify directly, and the remaining team will try to win the best group third to advance to the knockout round.
For the Chinese women's volleyball team, it is not a bad thing to be in the same group as the United States, Serbia and France. At present, the Chinese women's volleyball team is in good shape, they won all 4 games in the Hong Kong station of the World Women's Volleyball League, locked the qualification for the Paris Olympics and rushed to the finals in Bangkok at the same time.
Women's volleyball coach Cai Bin is making the final sprint for the Paris Olympics, he arranged for Zhang Changning to take a number of substitutes to play in the finals in Bangkok, the purpose is to train young players, and then let Zhu Ting, Li Yingying and other main players stay in Zhangzhou to adjust and recover, and strive to adjust their own state before the Paris Olympics. In the last Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to qualify for the group stage and did not win a medal, which caused the Chinese women's volleyball team to fall into a trough.
