The anti-corruption storm in China's sports world continues to spread, and the volleyball world has not been spared. Just as everyone thought that the Li Tie case was nearing its end, a major news broke in the volleyball world: Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center who retired two and a half years ago, has been investigated! Li Quanqiang is a heavyweight figure in the volleyball world, and his actions have a significant impact on the entire industry. Li Quanqiang worked in China's volleyball world for 25 years, from 1997 to 2022, holding high-level positions throughout. He served as the leader of both the men's and women's teams before retiring as the director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center. His status in the volleyball world was almost unshakable, earning him the nickname "the invincible one" in the volleyball world. Li Quanqiang is from Shenyang and started his career at the State Physical Education Commission's Science and Education Department after graduating from Shenyang Physical Education College. In 1997, he joined the volleyball system, serving as the director of the Volleyball Management Center's office, and later became the leader of the men's and women's teams. In March 2006, he was promoted to deputy director of the Volleyball Management Center, and in February 2017, he became the director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center under the General Administration of Sport of China, retiring in August 2022. Under Li Quanqiang's leadership, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved many honors. The most glorious achievement was co-leading the Chinese women's volleyball team…

In the aftermath of the investigation into Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport, many believed that the anti-corruption efforts within China's sports sector might have come to an end. However, this was merely a perception; in reality, the anti-corruption campaign within the domestic sports sector has not ceased and is ongoing. Indeed, another high-ranking official from the original General Administration of Sport has been officially announced to be under investigation. Recently, it was officially declared that Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center under the General Administration of Sport, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation. Within the context of anti-corruption within the domestic sports sector, the most profound impression is naturally associated with the anti-corruption efforts in the domestic football sector. Just before the commencement of the Qatar World Cup, Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese men's national football team and a former well-known international player, who was originally scheduled to appear as a heavyweight commentator for a domestic live broadcast platform, was suddenly taken away for investigation during a coaching training session. Li Tie's removal marked the formal opening of the anti-corruption curtain in the domestic football sector. Shortly thereafter, dozens of individuals within the domestic football circle, including several high-level officials from the Chinese Football Association, were subjected to investigations or assistance in investigations. Ultimately, even Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport, was implicated. This time, the investigation concerns Chinese…

Currently, our country places great emphasis on the three major ball sports. Overall, volleyball is the best-developed among them! After all, the Chinese women's volleyball team has won Olympic gold medals. The worst is undoubtedly football, especially men's football, with very few appearances in the Olympics. Therefore, when multiple bigwigs in Chinese football were implicated in scandals, people didn't find it surprising! However, what was unexpected is that there were also bigwigs implicated in Chinese volleyball! Recently, according to official announcements, Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, is under investigation for serious violations. Obviously, Li Quanqiang is a big termite in the Chinese women's volleyball team and also a big termite in the Chinese sports world! Eliminating these big termites has made netizens cheer and rejoice! The previous Chinese football world saw a series of corruption cases! Including the Chinese Football Association (CFA) Chairman Chen Xuyuan, Vice-Chairman Du Zhaocai, Secretary-General Liu Yong, and Disciplinary Committee Director Wang Xiaoping, more than ten executives were involved. Now, it's the turn of Chinese volleyball! Will there be a series of corruption cases? Public information shows that Li Quanqiang is already 63 years old and has been retired for two and a half years! He can be considered a bigwig in Chinese volleyball. He once served as the leader of both the Chinese men's and women's volleyball teams. From 2006 to 2017, Li Quanqiang served as the deputy director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport. Relying on the Chinese…

China's National Sports Administration is keen on the development of football, volleyball, and basketball, aiming to improve performance in these sports and cultivate more outstanding athletes. To this end, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), Football Association (FA), and Volleyball Association have organized youth championships for these three sports, with the goal of identifying talent through increased competition and integrating them into the national teams as reserve forces. The CBA has issued significant penalties following the conclusion of the U16 men's basketball championship. During a match between Jilin and Zhejiang teams, which proceeded normally for the first three quarters, Zhejiang's players displayed a lack of enthusiasm and competitiveness in the fourth quarter, effectively giving up on offensive opportunities. Despite the referee's attempts to encourage the team to regain their focus, Zhejiang's performance led to a substantial point difference, making it clear that Jilin would win the championship. This消极的态度 from Zhejiang's team during the match against Jilin has drawn attention from fans and sparked online discussions. Many netizens believe that any issues should be openly addressed rather than allowing such an attitude to prevail, as it disrespects both the opponents and the spirit of the game. Specifically, the penalties imposed by the CBA include a three-year ban for Zhejiang's team leader, Wang Nan, and a one-year ban for coach Zhao Hang. This is seen as an unfortunate start for both individuals, who had only recently taken on their coaching roles. However, someone must take responsibility for the team's消极态度, and after investigation, the team leader and coach were found to bear primary responsibility.…

Recently, a major event has occurred in the table tennis world: Wang Liqin has been promoted to the Director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center of the General Administration of Sport of China. This news has shaken the entire sports circle. Originally thriving in Shanghai, this step is quite significant for him. Looking back on Wang Liqin's political career, it has truly been one step at a time. Starting as the leader of the Shanghai table tennis team, then becoming the chairman of the Shanghai Table Tennis Association, and later the director of the Shanghai Competitive Sports Training Management Center, he has consistently made steady progress. His direct promotion to a national-level institution indicates that the General Administration of Sport highly recognizes his work capabilities. I have carefully studied Wang Liqin's achievements in Shanghai. After taking office, the strength of the Shanghai table tennis team soared dramatically. Not only did they bring in Fan Zhendong, ranked first in the world, but they also achieved many excellent results at the National Games. In recent years, the development of sports in Shanghai has been flourishing, and he has played a significant role in this success. The position of Director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center is quite interesting. The power distribution between the Table Tennis and Badminton Center and the Table Tennis Association has always been a hot topic. Now, with Wang Liqin serving concurrently as the Vice Chairman of the Table Tennis Association and the Center Director, along with Liu Guoliang as the Chairman of the Table Tennis Association,…

When the news quietly spread within the circle, I almost couldn't believe my eyes. The position of the National Sports General Administration Training Bureau had unexpectedly fallen to Yang Xinli, which undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the table tennis and badminton world. Yang Xinli's outstanding leadership during the Paris Olympic cycle undoubtedly paved the way for his promotion this time. Such a result, although unexpected, was reasonable. However, with Yang Xinli's promotion, the vacancy of the Director of the Pingyu Center immediately became the focus of attention. In the ever-changing world of sports, every personnel change touches the hearts of countless people, and this time is even more unusual. Mentioning the position of the Director of the Pingyu Center, the names of familiar figures can't help but float in my mind, but the appearance of Liu Guoliang's name is like a thunderclap on level ground, making people stare in amazement. You should know that since 2017, Coach Liu has been away from the system and turned to the outside world. Now, he suddenly made a comeback, and the plot turned so fast that it caught everyone off guard. Coach Liu's glorious resume is already well-known in the sports circle. From being a national table tennis player to later becoming a gold medal coach, and then to the position of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, every step he took was solid and brilliant. During his athlete period, he was known for his exquisite skills and unique tactical insight, making opponents unattainable. After transitioning to coaching, he imparted his wisdom and experience…

On December 19, 2024, CCTV reported that Gou Zhongwen, the former director of China's General Administration of Sport, was arrested. This news was welcomed by netizens who had been paying attention to this "professional" who had caused turmoil in table tennis and football, deeply harming Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua. In 2016, after the retirement of the old director Liu Peng, many people thought that Cai Zhenhua would be the next to take the position, as he had made a name for himself in the table tennis world. However, unexpectedly, Gou Zhongwen "parachuted" into the position of director of the General Administration of Sport. Although he had excelled in the field of electronic information, he had no background in sports, which led to widespread doubts about how an outsider could lead the sports industry. Despite some believing that Gou Zhongwen had the capability to lead due to his appointment, his first act upon taking office was to "eliminate dissidents." He removed experienced figures like Cai Zhenhua and Liu Guoliang from their positions, leading to internal chaos within the sports administration. This culminated in a boycott by top players like Ma Long and Zhang Jike during the national table tennis league in 2017, protesting against Gou Zhongwen's actions and calling for Liu Guoliang's reinstatement. However, this only resulted in further punishment for Liu Guoliang and criticism for the players. Gou Zhongwen's reforms were also criticized for being impractical and not considering the differences between various sports. His "physical fitness competition" standard required all athletes to pass physical fitness tests, regardless of…

During the opening ceremonies of the Chengdu International ITTF Mixed Team World Cup and the Table Tennis Super League Finals, the calls for the resignation of the Table Tennis Association Chairman Liu Guoliang have intensified. This is particularly evident after Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long withdrew from the world rankings, for which Liu Guoliang, as the head of WTT, cannot shirk responsibility. Will this affect his position? Furthermore, the former director of the Pingyu Center, Yang Xinli, has been transferred to the National Sports General Administration Training Bureau, leaving an open position. There are speculations that Liu Guoliang is a hot candidate for the position, but the final outcome is still uncertain. If Liu Guoliang leaves the Table Tennis Association, who would be the appropriate successor? I believe there are two candidates. Firstly, Wang Liqin. After the resignation of the Table Tennis Association Chairman, it is logical for the Vice-Chairman to take over. Among the Vice-Chairmen, there are Liu Yi, Zhang Xiaopeng, Wang Liqin, Qin Zhijian, Gao Yaxiang, and Zhang Lei, with Wang Liqin having the highest profile and the greatest likelihood of taking over. Secondly, Ma Lin. Liu Guoliang himself was promoted from the head coach of the national table tennis team to the Chairman of the Table Tennis Association, following this path, the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, Li Sun, had hopes, but at 62 years old, he may not be suitable. Selecting from within the team, the women's table tennis coach Ma Lin is a good choice, as he has excelled both…

I also sighed when I saw this news. The former director of the General Administration of Sport, Gou Zhongwen, has been officially arrested. As a table tennis fan, think about it carefully, this is really a strange thing - a top leader of the sports bureau has turned our proud national table tennis upside down. Speaking of his operations, it's really laughable. How did he become the sports director? He implemented a unified national physical test, regardless of whether you are a swimmer or a table tennis player, everyone must follow the same standard. Isn't this just playing around? As a result, many world champions and Olympic champions were "killed" by this one-size-fits-all approach, even losing their eligibility to participate. What makes me most angry is when he targeted the national table tennis team. He not only marginalized Cai Zhenhua, our table tennis hero, but also removed Liu Guoliang from the position of head coach and placed him as a vice-chairman of the Table Tennis Association. Isn't this just causing trouble for no reason? At that time, it really angered Ma Long, Xu Xin, and others, leading to the "June 23 strike," which was unprecedented in the history of national table tennis! But looking back now, it's really the turn of fortune. Liu Guoliang is now the chairman of the Table Tennis Association, leading the national table tennis team to win championship after championship. Cai Zhenhua also retired peacefully. On the contrary, Gou Zhongwen himself stumbled, and now he is charged with bribery and abuse of power. Speaking of the…

In the glorious history of sports, the Chinese women's volleyball team was once a hero in the hearts of many people. However, in recent years, their glory seems to have been overshadowed by a shadow. From the failure at the Tokyo Olympics to the difficulties faced at the Paris Olympics, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has plummeted like a roller coaster. Behind all this, it turns out to be directly related to the arrest of Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport. Now, let us uncover the mysterious veil and find out the truth behind the Chinese women's volleyball team. I. The Dilemma of the Volleyball Team: Falling from Great Heights Where is the former champion now? In recent years, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has declined rapidly. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, they only won 2 games and lost 3 in the group stage, failing to enter the top eight, which made many fans extremely sad. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, although they barely made it into the top eight, they lost 2-3 to the Turkish women's volleyball team in an important quarterfinal match, returning from the court disappointed once again. This is not just about losing a game, but also about losing the spirit of the volleyball team. What is the reason behind this? The name Gou Zhongwen is now closely associated with the dark period of Chinese sports. During his tenure as director of the General Administration of Sport, the performance of China's three major ball sports…
