Olympic bronze medalist promoting beach volleyball to Chinese players
Having competed in Beijing a decade ago, Chinese Olympic bronze medalist Xi Zhang just moved to California (USA) to compete in beach volleyball and inspire young Chinese athletes who are now considering the sport. This move can be interpreted as a step to overcoming cultural barriers since beach volleyball has some characteristics that are not culturally compatible in all parts of the world. Two examples are the beach volleyball clothing worn by some women’s teams from Muslim countries as well as the fact that in most parts of Asia playing outdoor in the full sun is a major barrier for beach volleyball’s success.
