Jiefang Daily's Shangguan News City Affairs Channel and the School of Journalism and Communication at Shanghai Sport University jointly launched a column titled "Approaching the Hangzhou Asian Games" to experience the five major characteristics of the Hangzhou Asian Games: "Green, Intelligent, Humanistic, Simplicity, and Benefiting the People", witness the charm of Asian sports athletes, and experience the "high school entrance examination rhythm" of Chinese sports soldiers simulating their preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Many people are not very familiar with beach volleyball, a sport that offers sunshine and sand. The beach volleyball competition at the Hangzhou Asian Games will start on September 19th and end on September 28th, making it one of the earliest events to start.

According to the current registration situation, 48 teams from 17 countries and regions have participated, and the Communist Party has won 2 gold medals for men and women. Before experiencing the ocean, blue sky, beach, and exciting competitions, it's worth having a comprehensive understanding of the history, highlights, and prospects of beach volleyball at the Asian Games.

The 1990s was a decade of rapid development for beach volleyball, particularly in its entry into various levels and comprehensive sports events. In 1996, beach volleyball entered the Atlanta Olympics. In China, beach volleyball became an official national competition event in 1994, and was first introduced at the 8th National Games in 1997. Beach volleyball became an official event at the 1998 Bangkok Asian Games.

Beach volleyball and indoor field volleyball are two sub items of the volleyball major. Early beach volleyball players mostly came from volleyball across different events. Due to year-round exposure to sunlight, wind and rain, and sand, sand row athletes inevitably have dark skin.

The Ningbo Banbian Mountain Beach Volleyball Center is located in the Donghai Banbian Mountain Tourist Resort in Shipu Town, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City. The ball used in beach volleyball has its own characteristics, with a waterproof surface that does not slip when it rains. In addition, beach volleyball has lower ball pressure, softer skin, and slower ball speed, which increases the game's offensive and defensive transitions and visual appeal.

Beach volleyball is played in teams of two, with no substitutes being the key. Therefore, beach volleyball requires higher cooperation and communication between two individuals. Many beach volleyball tactics are played by players on the spot, and the game is constantly changing, making it highly entertaining.

The Xiangshan Station of the National Beach Volleyball Grand Slam held in April this year is known as the "simulation roll" of the Hangzhou Asian Games. This largest beach volleyball tournament in China has attracted 55 representative teams from 13 provinces across the country, with a size similar to that of the Hangzhou Asian Games.

The Ningbo Xiangshan Beach Volleyball Center has three stands in its home area, as well as one sub field and five competition and training fields. This scale is not only unique in China, but also one of the few in the international community.

In the competition, Gao Peng from Shanghai participated as an athlete and coach and won fourth place. Gao Peng has participated in two Asian Games and won second and fourth place respectively. Xu Qiang, the mentor of Gao Peng for the Shanghai team, is currently the head coach of the Chinese beach volleyball men's team. He once led the Shanghai men's team to win the championship at the 2017 National Games.

In addition to the Shanghai team, Xinjiang men's and women's beach volleyball has developed rapidly in recent years and has become a talent cultivation highland for the national team. In the National Beach Volleyball Grand Slam in April, the Xinjiang team won both the men's and women's championships. Xinjiang female beach volleyball player Xia Xinyi and male beach volleyball player Abdulkhalijiang Mutalifu have won admission tickets to the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Beach volleyball players generally have a tall and agile physique.

Speaking of the Xinjiang team, Coach Zhang Zhenxi, who has coached the team for 45 years, is indispensable. After serving as the coach of the Chinese beach volleyball women's team at the Beijing Olympics, he still persisted in his position of cultivating talents for the country.

Beach volleyball has competitive characteristics and also helps to integrate sports and tourism. After the establishment of the Asian Games Beach Volleyball Center on the half side of Xiangshan Mountain, the infrastructure of Xinhe Village has been synchronously improved, developing a tourism industry with the theme of the Asian Games. Due to the Hangzhou Asian Games, there was a magical chemical reaction between the tourism resources and sports events in Xiangshan. Villagers are starting to do business in homestays and inns, waiting for the Asian Games to bring more popularity and opportunities.

Watching the Asian Games: Female contestants aim to win consecutive championships, while male contestants strive for breakthroughs

In the history of the Asian Games, the Chinese beach volleyball women's team stood out. In addition to finishing fourth at the 1998 Bangkok Asian Games, the Chinese women's team has achieved five consecutive championships at the Asian Games in the past 16 years. From 2002 to 2014, two pairs of Chinese women's athletes made it to the top three in all four Asian Games. Xue Chen, who participated in this year's Hangzhou Asian Games, won the championship at the 2006 Doha Asian Games and the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, while Xia Xinyi won the championship at the Jakarta Asian Games.

The returning veteran Xue Chen is in good form, partnering with Xia Xinyi to win the prestigious World Beach Volleyball Tour Brazil and Itapema tournaments, as well as the 2023 Asian Women's Beach Volleyball Championships. At present, the Xue Chen/Xia Xinyi combination ranks 12th in the International Volleyball Federation and first in Asia. This "champion duo" is a strong contender for the gold medal in women's beach volleyball at this year's Hangzhou Asian Games.

The opponents of the Chinese combination are equally strong. The Japanese duo Meiji Ishii and Akira Goujiang may be the biggest opponents of the Chinese duo. In the final of the last Asian Games, Meiji Ishii caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese team. This year's Asian Championships, the Japanese team met the Chinese team Aheidan/Wang Jingzhe in the third place race, and in the end, Aheidan/Wang Jingzhe defeated their opponents 2-0.

The Chinese men's volleyball team also has the ability to compete for gold medals. At the Jakarta Asian Games, due to the worsening left knee injury of Halik Jiang, the Chinese team became one of the top eight players to drink and hate. After 4 years of polishing and sedimentation, the combination of Halikjiang and Wu Jiaxin has made a comeback. Their main opponents are Qatar pair Sharif/Tiyang, who finished third at the Tokyo Olympics, and Thai pair Polavid Taowato/Pitak Tiyang.

The once popular "Bing Dwen Dwen" gave way to "Rongbao" and became the new top stream! The prototype of "Rongbao" is a giant panda named "Sesame" at the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Base. Previously, among netizens, "Sesame" was selected as the prototype mascot for this year's Universiade with the highest number of votes. It is understood that the name Sesame comes from two reasons: firstly, its mother's name is Zhizhi, and secondly, it was born with a small black dot on its mouth, resembling sesame seeds hanging on its mouth after eating, hence the name Sesame. Sesame, who has just turned 6 years old this year, is very lively and active, and is a "sports enthusiast"

The Chinese women's football team will debut against Denmark in the group stage on the 22nd, followed by matches against Haiti and England.

On June 28th, Beijing time, the Chinese women's volleyball team will compete in the third week of the World Women's Volleyball League at the Suwon Station in South Korea. They will compete against world champion Serbia, Dominican, South Korean, and Tokyo Olympic champion US women's volleyball teams, making their final push to advance to the finals. The finals will be held in Arlington, USA from July 13th to 17th. Except for the host United States team, the other seven teams that have the best points in the pit stops will qualify for the finals. The Chinese women's volleyball team has achieved 6 wins and 2 losses with a total of 18 points, currently ranking 4th on the points table. In theory, the Chinese women's volleyball team can advance to the finals by winning two more games. It is difficult to fully grasp the Chinese women's volleyball match against Serbia and the United States, so it is necessary to ensure victory over the Dominican and South Korean women's volleyball teams. In the previous race at Hong Kong, China, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to
