At this time, the main task of the national beach volleyball team is to achieve 13 at the Busan Asian Games. Therefore, Wang Lu and her new partners, You and Tian Jia/Faye Wong, began a hard preparation course. In order to learn and communicate, and improve his technical and tactical level, Wang Lu constantly participates in various competitions at home and abroad. On September 30th, 2002, in the World Beach Volleyball Tour held in Osaka, Japan, Wang Lu/You Wen Hui defeated Spanish players elkan and Bohr by 2-/kloc-0, entered the direct election for the first time, and won the ninth place. At the Asian Games in Busan, Wang Lu and Wen Hui cooperated closely, giving full play to their respective advantages, and going all the way through. In the final and semi-final of 1/8, they defeated Bangka/Alaishun of Thailand, the champion of the last Asian Games, and their Japanese team, the third runner-up of the last Asian Games, which cleared the biggest obstacle for China to win the championship and made the final a "civil war" in China. In the final, Wang Lu, who was only 20 years old, paid the price for her youth. She was a little nervous at the critical moment, made several mistakes and finally won the second place. Tian Jia/Faye Wong won the gold medal. However, it was from this time that China women's beach volleyball began to dominate in Asia.
After the Asian Games, we are faced with the task of marching into the Athens Olympic Games. Due to the limited number of places, each country or region has at most two pairs of players, and the competition is extremely fierce. China beach volleyball started late, and there is still a big gap compared with the advanced level in the world. China team has determined the strategy of focusing on women's sand. Compared with Tian Jia/Faye Wong, the top seed at that time, Heyou was at a disadvantage in terms of technical and tactical level, cooperation and international competition experience, but they did not give up, worked hard, conscientiously summed up the characteristics of foreign strong teams, absorbed and enriched themselves, and strived to play further. In the past two years, Wang Lu has made remarkable progress in Olympic qualifiers. Her spiking point is high, her strength is great, her line changes greatly, her attack success rate is high, and her serve is quite threatening. During this period,/especially in the 2003 World Women's Beach Volleyball Tour, Indonesia reached the semi-finals against the United States and in Shanghai in 2004, and won the fourth place. In addition, he won the ninth place many times. With their continuous efforts,/You miraculously got enough Olympic points, and she entered the Athens Olympic Games with her teammate Tian Jia/Faye Wong as she wished, and she was one of only two athletes in Shaanxi Province to participate in the Olympic Games.
However, the Athens Olympic Games is a cruel memory for Wang Lu. Due to low points and ranking, Wang Lu/You Wenhui faced the last Sydney Olympic champion Cook and her new partner Sanderson in the first match of the group stage. Because it was the first time to participate in the Olympic Games,/You Wenhui seemed a little uncomfortable and inexperienced, and soon lost the first game with 19 to 2 1. However, after that, they held their ground and took advantage of Cook's weakness to pull back a game by 2 1 ratio 17. In the crucial deciding game, the two sides were evenly matched and both played at a high level. Cook/Sanderson made a sudden effort in the second half, once leading to 1 1 by 14, but Wang Lu/You Wenhui was not to be outdone, and tied the score to 14 by four match points. Wang Lu's three probe balls drew cheers from the audience. However, the experienced Cook was able to maintain a stable mood at the most tense moment, and used his rich experience to control the situation on the court, disrupting the rhythm of/You, and finally won by 17 to 15. After the game, Wang Lu said that the game was mainly lost in experience and improvisation, which is also the most important aspect that China sand volleyball players need to improve. In the second game, Wang Lu/You Wenhui lost 0-2 to a Bulgarian elder sister, Janchulova, and ended their trip to Athens Olympic Games with both sides losing. This is also a moment that Wang Lu will never forget.
The failure of Athens Olympic Games didn't make Wang Lu depressed, on the contrary, it made her work harder to improve her technical and tactical level. However, it never rains alone. During the winter training between Sanya and China Beach Volleyball Team, Wang Lu accidentally tore the cruciate ligament of his right knee during the training and had to stop for treatment for some time. Soon, she returned to Beijing for recovery training under the guidance of old coach Dai Tingbin. At this time, steel bars were tied to both sides of her right leg from top to bottom, and she staggered when walking. It is said that these two steel bars are not allowed to take a bath, and the training is mainly based on upper limb strength. Although this injury is a serious blow to Wang Lu, Wang Lu has not spent the Spring Festival with his family for three years since he joined the national team because the national beach volleyball team has to train every winter. This recovery gave her a rare opportunity. In the Spring Festival of 2005, she can finally go home for the New Year, which is also considered that there is always a silver lining behind the dark clouds.
Nevertheless, Wang Lu, who is eager to return to the team, is also committed to resuming training and often adds more for himself. She said: "The task of the competition in 2005 is so heavy that I must heal my injuries as soon as possible, whether for the national team or the Shanxi team." Many things happen. Less than three months after the injury, Wang Lu finally returned to the beach training ground. At first, she could only concentrate on strength training. However, the upcoming beach volleyball match of the 10th National Games forced Wang Lu, who has not recovered from his injuries, to prepare for the war in advance. Cooperation is very important in a beach volleyball match with only two people. Wang Lu, who represented Shaanxi in the war, must be familiar with and coordinate his new partner Mars as soon as possible. Although the time is short, and the body has not recovered well, Wang Lu still shows the elegant demeanour of the strong. She and Mars beat many opponents in succession and reached the semi-finals. Subsequently, they beat Fujian's Hong Lina/Zhang Ying with two scores of 2 1 ratio 19, and took the lead in the final, and finally lost to China's top seed Tian Jia/Faye Wong to win the silver medal.
Interestingly, this injury made Wang Lu whiter. Beach volleyball players are often exposed to the sun, almost all of them are tanned, although sun protection and maintenance don't work. Wang Lu, who had been recovering for three months, stayed away from the sunshine and wind and rain, and returned to the team again, becoming a member of the "heterogeneous", which embarrassed Wang Lu and even hoped to get a tan early.
On June 5438+February, 2005, China Beach Volleyball Team came to Sanya for winter training again. Despite the difficult conditions, the venue was washed away by the spring tide many times, and there was not enough fitness equipment, but Wang Lu said that they had long been used to it, and they had encountered more difficult conditions than here. She recalled that it was to prepare for the 2002 Asian Games and the whole team went to Bayuquan, Yingkou City, Liaoning Province for training. I live in a rough house without a chain door. The water was pumped from the well with moss, and they all came over. In this training, the China team readjusted its coaching staff and players to cope with the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Because of the injury, Wang Lu felt that she was not as comfortable and smooth as before. She is also very aware of her weaknesses, such as slow pace, imprecise technology and lack of experience. However, she said that she would work hard to overcome these difficulties and restore her state as soon as possible.
After the winter training this year, China Beach Volleyball Team went to the United States for an unprecedented 45-day training session and achieved good results. Wang Lu not only greatly improved her technical and tactical level, but also further enhanced her physical fitness. She also has a new partner-Ji. Although they did not achieve excellent results in several races before this year's World Women's Beach Volleyball Tour. However, in the Athens competition, Heji cooperated hand in hand, defeated many famous players, reached the final and won the runner-up, which was also the best result in the world series. In the next few races,/season maintained a stable performance, winning the fifth and ninth place in a row.
During her beach volleyball career in Wang Lu, she had several partners. She showed deep gratitude to her comrades in arms, partners and sisters in life in these competitions. Wang Lu said that her first partner was Dong Na. She is an old hand, skilled, psychologically stable and experienced, which helps her a lot. Another is Mars, both of whom have been trained in provincial sports schools. Mars, a left-handed player, has great spiking power, good physical fitness and a wide range of activities on the court. They cooperated to win the runner-up in the 10th National Games. You Wenhui, on the other hand, is the partner with the longest cooperation time, and they have fought side by side on the international stage for three years. You Wenhui is skilled, has a good sense of the ball, is psychologically stable, and has little ups and downs. He can make up for his own weaknesses and play the role of "anchoring the sea" on the court. Tian Jia, a short partner with Wang Lu, is the "big sister" of China women's volleyball team. Wang Lu respects her very much and thinks that Tian Jia has reached a very high level in psychology, experience, skills and tactics, which is an example for her to learn. Ji, who is now a partner, is a player with excellent physical fitness and distinctive attack. Wang Luzheng is working with her to create new success.
With Wang Lu's good record in beach volleyball, she gradually has her own fans. However, whenever someone asks for her autograph, Wang Lu always feels embarrassed because she thinks she has not achieved the expected results. The failure of the Athens Olympic Games kept Wang Lu holding her breath. She hopes that she can make amends at the Beijing Olympic Games held at home in 2008 and stand on the podium of the Olympic Games. "I think we should dare to think. Only by daring to set higher goals for ourselves can we motivate ourselves to work harder!" Having said that, Ms. Wang's tone has strengthened a lot.
She married Cao Jun in 2009 and now has a daughter.
