Beach volleyball is the most concerned sport in Sydney Olympic Games. People remember this beautiful sport, but what they don't remember is Tian Jia of 19 and her 19. After Sydney Olympic Games, China Beach Volleyball Team set the goal of hitting the top eight in Athens Olympic Games, and Tian Jia became the key training object. Miao Zhihong, head coach of China Beach Volleyball Team, said: "Tian Jia is murderous and passionate."
In four years, Tian Jia grew rapidly in the competition. Before the Athens Olympic Games, she and her partner Faye Wong had ranked sixth in the world. Tian Jia said: "Before the Athens Olympic Games, our state was OK. We have won the championship twice, although the gold content is not very high, but we also played by ourselves. We are quite confident and hope to achieve better results than the Sydney Olympic Games. "
Before the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, just as Tian Jia was preparing for the war with confidence, an accident appeared. Tian Jia recalled: "My companion suffered a knee injury and was delayed for some time. After returning to the team, the injury is still there, and it is not much better. " Because of their scores, Tian Jia and Faye Wong were listed as the seed teams for the Athens Olympic Games. However, this bad state quickly put them in a passive situation. Tian Jia said: "It stands to reason that if you play well, you should reach the top two level of the group, and you can directly enter the top six. This is not a small score. But we lost two games and only won one. Among the last six teams, our score is the highest, and it is calculated to the front 16 with a small score, so it is passive and can only be decided by lottery. " The result of the lottery is the last thing Tian Jia wants to see. The result of their lottery is the world's number one American group. Tian Jia said: "At that time, I was psychologically unbalanced and very nervous."
In order to decompress the players, Tian Jia's coach chose Tian Jia's favorite way. Tian Jia said: "(Coach) plays monopoly with us every day, which shows the coach's care." Miao Zhihong said: "They are all younger children. I want to adjust their psychological state and let them put down their burdens. After all, they are still in a better position than their opponents. "
A lower position. "Playing games did not achieve the expected results, and Tian Jia did not break through the American combination. After losing the game 0-2, Tian Jia's second Olympic Games also ended. " It's very uncomfortable psychologically. Our goal is to finish the task as long as we can get into the top eight. Now I think this is a very simple task. It should be done with hard work and hard work, but neither of our two groups can finish it, which makes me feel bad. "Tian Jia said. When Tian Jia reluctantly left Athens, the China women's volleyball team won the championship. Seeing former teammates Zhang Ping and Zhang Na standing on the highest podium, Tian Jia began to doubt his choice at that time. Tian Jia said: "I got two opportunities, but I didn't grasp them." I might as well play indoors. The gangsters in the back row of indoor women's volleyball team can also mix in the top few in the league, which is definitely better than now. That's what I thought at the end of the Olympic Games. "
The defeat of Athens Olympic Games made Tian Jia very pessimistic. "I feel that I can't undertake big tasks, and my technology is not as good as others. I want to give up and stop playing this sport. " After the Athens Olympic Games, 25-year-old Tian Jia had to choose between staying and staying. Miao Zhihong said: "This is a normal idea for athletes. For the coach, we should try our best to help her. " At that time, coaches and teammates always tried to make her happy. Accompanied by teammates, Tian Jia's face appeared a happy smile again. "I think the greatest happiness I get is the affection and sisterhood given to me by my teammates and coaches." Tian Jia said.
2008 will be Tian Jia's third Olympic Games, and Tian Jia has set himself a goal. Tian Jia said: "My Olympic Games is to realize my dream and stand on the podium."
