China's women's volleyball team is gearing up for a high-stakes showdown at the Paris 2024 Olympics 🇫🇷, aiming to bounce back after a tough Tokyo 2020 run. Drawn into a \"group of death\" with the USA, Serbia, and host France, the squad faces a rocky path to the podium. But with historic grit and a recent win over Team USA, the champions of Rio 2016 are ready to fight.
🏆 Rio gold medalist Hui Ruoqi told CGTN: \"Challenges and opportunities go hand-in-hand this year. Every point matters—you need to hit your stride FAST.\" With fewer matches to reach the final, China’s opening clash against the U.S. on July 29 could set the tone—especially after their 3-1 Volleyball Nations League (VNL) victory in May 🎯.
Hui highlighted traditional powerhouses like Italy and Brazil, plus dark horses Turkey and Poland. \"It’s all about who makes fewer mistakes,\" she added. Can China channel their Rio magic 🇧🇷? The world is watching. 🌍✨
