Anti-corruption efforts have penetrated deep into the women's volleyball scene: With Li Quanqiang's downfall, the current highest leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team is Lai Yawen from the Volleyball Management Center. As the top leader and head of the women's volleyball team, Lai Yawen is known for her integrity. However, with Li Quanqiang's downfall, Lai, who was personally promoted by Li, has disappeared without a trace, which has sparked heated discussions. During his tenure, Li Quanqiang promoted Lai Yawen to the position of deputy director of the Volleyball Management Center. Some netizens even declared, "Pulling out the radish brings out the mud! It's highly likely that Lai Yawen can't escape either." In fact, Lai Yawen has always had a good reputation, but the only point of suspicion or criticism from fans is why, as the director of the Volleyball Management Center, she also served as an assistant coach to Cai Bin during the Paris Olympics? To be honest, this is indeed an unprecedented feat in the entire volleyball world. Cai Bin and Lai Yawen insisted on using the Seven Fairies lineup to the end, basically abandoning Zhu Ting against both strong and weak teams, and the best setter Yao Di had no way to serve the country. This also sparked discussions about abuse of power for personal gain. The general public opinion is: The corruption of the former director of the Volleyball Management Center fully illustrates that the national women's volleyball team insisted on supporting old Cai, resulting in a crushing defeat at the Paris Olympics, ultimately losing medals.…

In the fierce competition of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs, a tragedy about strength and corruption quietly unfolded. As the battle for the top four intensified, the league's format reforms enhanced its appeal but exposed deeper issues. The elimination of weaker teams like Shenzhen and Beijing was inevitable, yet on this stage that should focus on competition and glory, the shadow of corruption loomed silently. Lai Yawen, as the new director of the Volleyball Management Center, was widely seen as a beacon of hope for improving the environment of the Chinese women's volleyball team. However, it is disheartening to see that her predecessor Li Quanqiang and another director were successively investigated, indicating that the corruption in this corner of the sports world has not been eliminated as the outside world had hoped. Li Quanqiang was investigated for serious disciplinary violations, and the ambiguity of his specific charges raised doubts. The Chinese women's volleyball team, once considered the last pure land in sports, seems unable to escape the erosion of corruption. The internal problems of the volleyball team surfaced before the Paris Olympics. Cai Bin's coaching ability was questioned, and he was believed to be constrained by the decision-makers behind the scenes. Wang Yunlu's elimination, coupled with her support for Cai Bin, revealed the complex relationships and hidden unease within the team. More seriously, Li Quanqiang's downfall could be seen as linked to his former leader Gou Zhongwen. Their interactions during their time in management seem to have laid the groundwork for this corruption storm. Before Li Quanqiang and…

On January 10th, at 4 PM in 2025, the Chinese volleyball world was shaken once again as Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center under the General Administration of Sport, was investigated for serious violations of discipline and law. As a key figure in the Volleyball Management Center, Li Quanqiang not only led the professionalization reform of the volleyball league but also traveled to the United States in 2017 to promote Lang Ping's return to lead the Chinese women's volleyball team. However, these promises and plans now seem more ironic after Li Quanqiang's downfall. The reform has failed to achieve significant results, and the volleyball industry has not only failed to maintain its glory but has instead fallen into a trough. In February 2017, Li Quanqiang officially took office, replacing his predecessor. At that time, the Chinese women's volleyball team had just won the championship at the Rio Olympics and was highly regarded nationwide. In this context, Li Quanqiang was tasked with continuing the glory of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Faced with concerns about Lang Ping's health and doubts about the future of the women's volleyball team, Li Quanqiang repeatedly expressed confidence in Lang Ping's reappointment as head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team after taking office. Subsequently, Lang Ping did return to the national team and led the Chinese women's volleyball team through a new round of Olympic preparations. Although China won the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup with an undefeated record of eleven consecutive victories, the failure at the Tokyo Olympics brought this…

"Desiring to know what is straight, one must have a plumb line; desiring to know what is square, one must have a carpenter's square." In the field of sports, which should be full of vitality and fair competition, a recent wave of anti-corruption has surged forth. Since the investigation of Li Tie, the former head coach of the national football team, the football world has embarked on a frenzy of rectification. Du Zhaocai and Chen Xuyuan of the Football Association, among others, have fallen, and even the top sports official Gou Zhongwen was not spared. Now this storm has swept into the volleyball field. The official announcement reported that Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, is suspected of serious problems and is currently under investigation by relevant departments. Li Quanqiang is a veteran in the volleyball field, having played an important role in the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Starting as the team leader of the women's volleyball team, he rose to the positions of deputy director and director. He served as the director of the Volleyball Center from February 2017 until his retirement at the age of eligibility in 2022. During this period, the development trajectory of the Chinese women's volleyball team underwent a huge change. Once a banner of Chinese sports, the Chinese women's volleyball team repeatedly won championships on the international stage and became a heroic team in the hearts of countless people. However, during the later part of his tenure, especially during the Tokyo…

As the former head of Chinese volleyball, Li Quanqiang's investigation was announced yesterday afternoon, causing a shock in the volleyball world. A topic of concern is whether Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, will renew his contract after not being seen since the Paris Olympics. Now that his mentor Li Quanqiang has been implicated, it seems difficult for Cai Bin to stay on. The current director of the Volleyball Management Center is Lai Yawen, and her good friend Lang Ping may return to take up the coaching position again. Cai Bin began his second stint as head coach of the women's volleyball team in early 2022, which coincided with Lai Yawen becoming the director of the Volleyball Management Center. Prior to this, Li Quanqiang retired at the end of 2021 due to age. It can be said that when Cai Bin returned to coach the women's volleyball team, Lai Yawen did not take the lead; it was still Li Quanqiang who was in charge. When Cai Bin took office, his main task was the Paris Olympics. In the end, he led the women's volleyball team to three consecutive victories in the group stage of the Paris Olympics but was eliminated in the first round of the knockout stage, ultimately failing to reach the semi-finals. However, compared to the results of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 under Lang Ping's leadership, there was some improvement. After the Paris Olympics, opinions were divided on Cai Bin's performance. Some believe that his coaching record has improved and should continue…

This afternoon, Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, was investigated, becoming a hot topic on the internet. For many fans, the ups and downs of the Chinese women's volleyball team over the years have been directly related to Li Quanqiang. As the first high-ranking official in the volleyball field to be investigated, Li Quanqiang's downfall may uncover problems that have long been hidden in the volleyball field. The reason why Li Quanqiang's investigation has caused such a stir is that he has been deeply involved in the Chinese volleyball world for too long. From 1997 to 2022, for 25 years, Li Quanqiang has been a senior manager in the volleyball world, serving as the leader of the men's and women's volleyball teams, and finally retiring from his position as the top leader of volleyball. Over the years, no matter how the women's volleyball team performed, even in the face of tragic defeats, Li Quanqiang's position remained unshakable, making him known as the "indestructible" figure in the Chinese volleyball world. Moreover, when Li Quanqiang was finally investigated, he was the top leader of the Volleyball Management Center, with significant influence. Long-term, the Chinese volleyball world has not received much attention from the outside world, except during major events like the Olympics and World Championships for the women's team, and people rarely pay attention to the development of volleyball, especially the men's team. Therefore, with Li Quanqiang's investigation, people are curious about how the corrupt interest chain in the volleyball world was…

Chinese Women's Volleyball Team is the only team among China's men's and women's three major ball sports to have reached the highest podium at the Olympics. Therefore, we are always eagerly anticipating their performance at each Olympic Games, hoping that they can recreate their past glory. However, from finishing ninth at the Tokyo Olympics to fifth at the Paris Olympics, although they did not remain stagnant, the results were far from our expectations. The team's injuries were one issue, but it also seemed that there were problems within the team itself. Especially during interviews, the team constantly emphasized unity and even organized military training, which made us feel that things might not be as they appeared on the surface. This feeling was particularly strong after the Olympic roster was announced, as it did not seem to be the optimal choice. Not long ago, Gou Zhongwen, the former top official of the General Administration of Sport, was investigated, followed by issues in basketball and football, which made us vaguely sense that the volleyball circle might also need to undergo some testing. On January 10th, a significant announcement was made: Li Quanqiang, the former head of the Volleyball Management Center, was under investigation for serious violations of discipline and law. Li Quanqiang became the director of the Volleyball Management Center after our victory at the Rio Olympics in 2017 and retired from his position in August 2022. At that time, Lai Yawen was the deputy director, and after Li Quanqiang's retirement, Lai Yawen officially succeeded him as the director and party secretary…

The flames of the Paris Olympics have just been extinguished, and the curtain has already risen on the Los Angeles Olympic cycle. At this critical juncture of transition between old and new, the Chinese women's volleyball team has fallen into a rather tricky situation - the head coach position remains undecided. This situation has indeed made many Chinese fans anxious and worried. Looking back at the past cycle, the Chinese women's volleyball team under the leadership of Cai Bin once had a certain level of competitiveness due to its age structure advantages. At that time, Zhu Ting was 30 years old, Di Lin was 30 years old, Wang Mengjie was 29 years old, Wang Yuanyuan and Gong Xiangyu were 27 years old, and such an age combination could perform at a corresponding level in the competitive environment at that time. However, as time rolls forward, when moving towards the Los Angeles Olympics, the ages of these players will increase by 4 years. The factor of age growth, which cannot be ignored, often has a negative impact on athletes' physical fitness, reaction speed, and many other aspects, which means that most of these players may gradually withdraw from the main lineup. In this situation, the head coach position has been difficult to determine for a long time, causing the Chinese women's volleyball team to be in a very passive situation in the new Olympic cycle. Lai Yawen, director of the Chinese Volleyball Management Center, is also facing great pressure. After all, the Chinese women's volleyball team only achieved fifth place in…
