On July 29, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to Russia in the third round of the group match, losing 2-3. At present, it has lost all three games.

As the champion of the last Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team did not go smoothly in defending its title. Against Russia, although the girls tried their best, they were overturned in the fourth game with match point in hand. It can be said that the Chinese women's volleyball team is facing a more serious situation of group qualification than the Rio Olympic Games.

Lang Ping, head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, said that winning or losing is a matter of routine for soldiers. As one of the founders of the spirit of the women's volleyball team, Lang Ping requires the players to "hold their heads high and walk out of the game" even if they lose. This is because the spirit of women's volleyball team is not just to win the championship, but to make every effort at any time to fight tenaciously to the last moment.

Although the gold medal symbolizes the highest honor, the indomitable spirit is even more valuable. Over the past 40 years, the Chinese women's volleyball team has gone from the "old generation", the "golden generation" and the "silver generation" to the "new generation" who are now struggling on the field. It has had the glory of "five consecutive championships", and it has also experienced the hardships of standing on the Olympic champion podium again after 20 years. However, no matter what time, the spirit of women's volleyball has never been lost, but has been passed on from generation to generation. The Chinese women's volleyball team has never been a synonym for "champion".

There is no ever victorious general in competitive sports, and no team can flourish for a long time. When you are at a low point, you can stand on your own feet, and when you are at a peak, you will not forget your original intention. You can win and lose. Only by learning from failures can we have the opportunity to complete the next transcendence.

The Chinese women's volleyball team, we win together crazy, we lose together shoulder. No matter what the final result of this Olympic Games will be, as long as we try our best, the Chinese women's volleyball team will still be the brightest star in our hearts.
