meagan easy has her baby in usa training facility all the time. serbian players spent time on the beach with their partners. russian sherban and malyk took holiday in port of miami. you can find these all over internet. even Kim took some time off in guam. all these while, chinese players busted their asses off in the gym. i know how important olympics are to the chinese so they will put everything else in their personal life on hold. and i believe this is the advantage lang ping didn't have with the usa team.
Not exactly true, the reputation of Olympic Champion is meaningful to every professional volleyball player. However, no one can easily get it without efforts. Frankly speaking, girls of team China sacrificed a lot in past several years. But I believe all these sweaters and tears worth when they finally got this gold metal.
And for now, it's time for girls to have a happy time with their families, lovers and friends. Again congrats to Chinese Female Volleyball Team.
