The Paris Olympics are less than a month away! The Chinese women's volleyball team, as the former champion team, will once again attack the Olympic champion. Can the Chinese women's volleyball team get its wish? Let's wait and see!
Historically, the Chinese women's volleyball team has experienced three golden periods. And the media also likes to refer to these three golden ages as the golden generation, the second generation and the third generation. Of course, the most glorious thing is the golden generation's five consecutive championships. During the five consecutive championships of the Chinese women's volleyball team, only one athlete has experienced the whole process, and she is Liang Yan, who is known as the "smiling black baby"! Next, let's talk about Liang Yan's story!
Liang Yan was born in Chengdu, Sichuan in 1961! From the beginning of training volleyball to entering the national team in 1979, Liang Yan only took 4 years. Some people say that Liang Yan is talented, but she herself doesn't think so! With a height of 1.77 meters, he is only a little taller than Zhang Rongfang. In other words, Liang Yan is the shortest group in the national team. It is precisely because of this that Liang Yan was very nervous when she first entered the national team! She didn't know how head coach Yuan Weimin took a fancy to her! So my heart is very entangled, so I carry a burden. When she couldn't bear it, Liang Yan communicated with Yuan Weimin and opened Liang Yan's heart knot. And Liang Yan also ushered in an outbreak. Her tactical and anticipatory qualities were also on display in the game.
In the 1981 World Cup, Liang Yan played as a substitute and won the world championship for the first time with the Chinese women's volleyball team. In the 1982 World Women's Volleyball Championship, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship again. Liang Yan has become the main force! In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Liang Yan helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win the Olympic Games for the first time as the main force. In 1985, the Chinese women's volleyball team successfully defended its title in the 4th World Cup. With the honor of four consecutive championships, Lang Ping and others chose to withdraw from the national team. Liang Yan also wanted to leave, but the coaching staff did not approve it. In the 10th World Women's Volleyball Championship in 1986, Liang Yan led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the championship as vice captain. Five consecutive championships, Liang Yan is the only player who has experienced it personally. After that, Liang Yan chose to retire!
After retiring, Liang Yan chose to marry her fan Niu Yi. Niu Yi is a literary and artistic worker. I also like volleyball very much. So when two people are together, volleyball becomes a common topic. After that, Liang Yan chose to study in the journalism department of Chinese People's University, and later became the editor of the magazine "New Sports". The 9-to-5 life is not liked by Liang Yan. By chance, Liang Yan chose to start a business and started a sporting goods company. Because Liang Yan started a business, her husband Niu Yi took on family chores. Many years later, when looking back on this time, Liang Yan always felt sorry for her husband.
Now, Liang Yan's career is bigger and stronger! The company also has a special person in charge. I also retire to spend time with my family. Her daughter is also very promising, and she is a doctor from Tsinghua University! Now Liang Yan, the family lives very happily!
