Preface
She is Wei Qiuyue, a legend who once won the Olympic championship of women's volleyball. In the game, she was known as the "best setter" for her excellent skills and leadership skills, and her steady performance and delicate approach were all admired. In daily life, she is known as the "most beautiful captain" because of her height of 1.8 meters and sweet appearance, today we will talk about the story of Wei Qiuyue.
Since childhood, he has shown extraordinary talent
Wei Qiuyue's father has loved sports since she was a child, especially sports activities, which deeply inspired her interest in sports. Perhaps inheriting the excellent genes of her parents, at the age of 5, Wei Qiuyue was much taller than her peers. Sensing his daughter's abnormal height, Wei's father came up with the idea of training her to become an athlete. So, the 5-year-old girl was sent to Tianjin Youth Sports School and started her volleyball enlightenment journey.
In the face of her father's arrangement, Wei Qiuyue had no intention of resisting, but was happy to do it. While the other children were still playing in the mud, she was already looking forward to playing volleyball. After several years of hard training, at the age of 12, Wei Qiuyue entered Tianjin Sports School. After entering the sports school, she began to receive professional training, and with her height advantage and quick reactions, she showed extraordinary talent on the volleyball court.
The coach has high expectations for her, and Wei Qiuyue has lived up to expectations, and her skills continue to improve. In a friendly match in 2003, Wei Qiuyue's superb ball skills attracted the attention of Lin Nan of the national junior team. As a result, she was successfully selected for the Tianjin women's volleyball team. If it is said that from contacting volleyball to becoming an official volleyball player, Wei Qiuyue's path is a matter of course.
Wei Qiuyue stood out from the sports school and joined professional sports events. Her success did not come from easy success, but with her own hard work and talent, she finally won the opportunity to participate in the Beijing Olympics. Despite coming on as a substitute, it is already a huge achievement for someone new to sport. At the time, as the youngest member of the team, she was cared for and supported by her teammates.
Later, she was chosen by her coach as a setter. This decision made her look forward to it, but she didn't expect that the first challenge she faced would be so difficult. In 2006, due to injury, the setter of the women's volleyball team was unable to participate, and Wei Qiuyue was called up to the national team. It was undoubtedly a huge test for the newcomer. She worries that her performance will affect the team's performance and become a burden to the team.
Especially when she didn't work well with other veteran players, her experience was lacking. Luckily, she got the help and understanding of her teammates and got through the stage of adjusting her mentality. Although she appeared immature in many ways, she was able to unite and work hard to win the game by being open-minded and persistent. In the 2007 women's volleyball event, Wei Qiuyue's performance was eye-catching.
The retirement of the captain of the most beautiful female queue
In 2008, Wei Qiuyue participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, and the Chinese women's volleyball team won the bronze medal. Still, she didn't choose to give up. On the one hand, she was reluctant to do so, knowing that she had the opportunity to achieve better results; On the other hand, Yuan Lingxi's constant encouragement also inspired her to continue her volleyball career.
After the Olympics, Yuan Lingxi made an appointment to meet Wei Qiuyue. As a sparring partner, he knew that the Chinese women's volleyball team's goal was to win the gold medal, so he was disappointed with the result of only winning the bronze medal. The outspoken Yuan Lingxi told her that she hoped to see the Chinese women's volleyball team win the world championship in her career. These words encouraged Wei Qiuyue, who had been frustrated by her failure, and she firmly chose to move on.
In April 2009, with the retirement of the veteran players, Cai Bin announced that Wei Qiuyue became the new captain of the women's volleyball team. Due to injuries and other reasons, Wei Qiuyue was not selected for the national women's volleyball team coached by Lang Ping in 2013, so she decided to go to Azerbaijan to join the Itizaki Baku women's volleyball team and participate in the Arab Super League and Champions League matches. However, in March 2014, Wei Qiuyue returned to the national women's volleyball team. In October of the same year, she played as the main player and helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win the silver medal in the World Championship.
In September 2015, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved a historic victory in the Women's Volleyball World Cup held in Japan, and they won the championship with a record of 10 wins and 1 loss. This victory was not only exhilarating, but also part of their illustrious history. In August 2016, at the Rio Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team experienced a journey of ups and downs.
In the group stage, they lost to the Netherlands, Serbia and the United States, and only qualified for the knockout round with a fourth-place finish in the group. Despite the difficulties they faced, they stubbornly defeated hosts Brazil 3-2 in the quarter-finals to win the title.
In order to compete in the 2016 Rio Olympics, Wei Qiuyue had to postpone her wedding and underwent a major knee surgery. In the post-operative recovery phase, in order not to interfere with the Olympic competition, she opted for a special treatment, which was to bite a towel and endure severe pain to extract fluid from her knee and avoid drug testing problems.
On August 29, 2017, Wei Qiuyue announced her official retirement. A month later, on September 26, she tied the knot with her long-time lover and assistant coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Yuan Lingxi. In this grand wedding, not only her teammates, but also her mentor Lang Ping, made this wedding ceremony the happiest moment of her life.
What is the status quo now?
On June 15, former women's volleyball captain Wei Qiuyue made a surprise appearance at the World Women's Volleyball League match in Hong Kong. What's even more striking is that on her left and right stand setters Song Nina and Feng Kun, who have won Olympic gold medals. As can be seen from the photos, Wei Qiuyue looks very young, like a girl in her early twenties.
Her clear and bright deer eyes make people sigh that she once lived up to her reputation as the "most beautiful captain". The beautiful group photo of the three setters in the same picture aroused great excitement among netizens in the comment area. Netizens left messages one after another: "Lucky stars shine, it's really a blessing!" "Will they give the team some guidance? It seems that this game has improved. ”
There were also people in the comments who sighed: "Even if Wei Qiuyue is in a wheelchair, her passing level still exceeds that of some active setters." Wei Qiuyue's family is well-off, and like many celebrities, if she fails to make a career in volleyball, she can still return home to take over the family business. However, she is different from other celebrities because her parents fully support her, whether it is going to training or her father personally sending her there.
Wei Qiuyue is also very self-respecting, although she comes from a wealthy family, she never puts on a show. During the four years of training at the junior sports school, most people couldn't hold on, but Wei Qiuyue, who was only 15 years old, persevered. Her determination is moving, and from the national youth team to the national team and then to the captain of the national team, her potential has been discovered and her ability has been recognized.
During this time, her team and her individual won numerous awards, and she herself was awarded the title of "Most Valuable Player...... In order to be able to participate in the Rio Olympics, she even postponed her wedding. Many players in history have given up their careers because of love, but Wei Qiuyue's choice has made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
During training, she was never emotionally disturbed, and even though her husband was also a sparring partner for their team, she concentrated on volleyball. Perhaps, it is Wei Qiuyue's "career-oriented" personality trait that makes Yuan Lingxi loyal to her. Today, Wei Qiuyue has not only set up her own studio, but also serves as an associate professor at Tianjin Sports Vocational College.
