Hey sports fans! Guess who's back and smashing it on the volleyball court? 🏐 China's very own Zhu Ting! The FIVB Women's Club World Championship in Hangzhou just got a whole lot more exciting!
Italy's Imoco Volley Conegliano cruised to their second straight win, dominating Vietnam's LP Bank Ninh Binh with scores of 25-16, 25-8, and 25-15. But here's the twist: they rested Zhu Ting in this match, saving her energy for the big games ahead.
Zhu, 30, made her grand debut for Conegliano on Tuesday, racking up 11 points against Brazil's Dentil Praia Clube. It's her epic return to the Club World Championships after five years away, marking her sixth appearance! 🎉
She's previously rocked the court with China's Guangdong and Tianjin clubs, and Türkiye's VakıfBank. Fans from all over flocked to Hangzhou just to catch a glimpse of her in action. Talk about star power! ⭐
Zhu is feeling the vibe and wants to inspire everyone with her gameplay. She said, \"We have great coaches and players. Together we learn a lot from each other. No matter what club you play with, you always want to achieve the best result, and bring out the best performance. This helps me to improve, and inspires the spectators who came here to cheer for us.\"
She's all about that smart training life: \"At my new club, the coaches and physios know how to systematically plan things for me, so I can adjust myself in training and competitions. I don't play all the games and train all the time. Basically they know how to use me scientifically.\"
We can't wait to see more of Zhu Ting lighting up the court! Stay tuned for more volleyball action! 🔥
