The 2017 2016 CCTV Sports Personality of the Year Awards Ceremony was held at the Water Cube in Beijing last week and many outstanding athletes, coaches, participants and teams were recognised.
The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team regained the gold medal at the Rio Olympic Games after 12 years, becoming the pride of the nation. The team won four awards at the ceremony.
“There was a pop sentence among our Chinese Women’s Volleyball team that we all start from scratch after the ceremony. I hope the younger generation will guard against arrogance and rashness, and follow their original heart on the way to strive for excellence and to create miracles. I also hope they will compete for more championships” Lang Ping said after winning the Best Coach Award.
On behalf of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team, Hui Ruoqi, the captain of the team, said: “We tried our best to create our own miracles in the Rio Challenge. We gave up and tolerated anything we could give up and tolerate. We wanted to remind people of a kind of persistence called Chinese Women’s Volleyball!”
