it all began in june, 1976, when the new china national women's volleyball team was formed. it wasn't easy, as the world of volleyball was dominated either by the western teams which were characterized by their power and height, or by the more versatile eastern teams (e.g. japan) which are know for their speed and skill.
but the new team had two features that became important for their later success: hope and a good coach. yue wai man, 37 at that time, was named the head coach of the team. his unique vision made him realize to be one of the best, you have to learn what makes them the best. therefore, a unique style combining speed, height, power and skill was developed.
being the best of asia was only the first step. our beloved chinese ladies knew full well what has been waiting for them next.
i really hope our chinese women volleyball team can win the gold again.
