Chinese women's volleyball team wearing a mask competition, responding to the Volleyball Association: sincerely apologize

In the 2022 Women's Volleyball Asian Cup group stage in the 2022 women's volleyball team on August 25th, the Chinese women's volleyball girl in the first game of the Chinese women's volleyball team wore a mask game, which aroused widespread concern and concerns about society. Thank you for your sincere apology for our work.

Before the game, the team learned that there were already athletes in the team, and individual athletes also had symptoms. In order to prevent the risk of epidemic dissemination, the team started from protecting the athletes and required athletes to wear masks when they entered the competition venue. Because the organizing committee did not make a clear stipulation on whether the athletes were wearing a mask, in order to protect themselves, our athletes played a mask after the competition. Because we have lack of experience on the spot, we did not remind the athletes to remove the mask in time, so in the first game, our athletes were wearing masks to play. In the second half of the first game, after wearing a mask and playing, the team reminded the team in a timely manner that our athletes took off the mask to complete the latter game.

In the future, we will conscientiously summarize the lessons and lessons, coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic, competition, and training. On the premise of protecting the health of the athletes, we will play every game and return everyone's concern.
