Li Yingying, the talented outside spiker of the Chinese women’s national volleyball team, is set to participate in her second Summer Olympic Games in Paris this year. With the memories of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics still fresh, Li is determined to help her team make a remarkable comeback.
Arriving in Tokyo as the defending champions, China faced unexpected challenges. They lost their first three matches against Türkiye, the USA, and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) in Pool B. These losses prevented them from advancing to the knockout stage, marking a heartbreaking early exit.
For the then 21-year-old Li, it was her first Olympic journey, filled with both promise and disappointment. \
