Lang Ping
1. Is she a master in her sports?
2. Did she set good examples for others?
As a player, Lang Ping brought honour and glory to her country. As a coach, she led the China Women’s volleyball team to medals at world championships and the Olympics. As a person, Lang Ping is loved by fans at home and abroad.
When the Chinese team was preparing for the 2015 World Cup, her determination was tested. The team that Lang Ping had built was falling apart. One of the best players had been injured, and the team captain had to leave because of heart problems. Losing two important players was a big challenge, but Lang Ping did not lose heart. She had faced difficulties before, and she knew that her young players could win if they worked together as a team. Two weeks later, they were world champions! Then in 2016, Lang Ping led her volleyball team to Olympic gold in Brazil.
