I don‘t know much about women’s volleyball. But this is something.
Both sets of players kept the rally alive with a sensational range of breathtaking shots and saves in a match between Tianjin and Army.
Not surprisingly both teams play in the top level of the Chinese Volleyball League with Tianjin having won the title for the past five years and for eight of the last nine years.
You can see why they are so successful too after they won this incredible point that simply must be seen to be believed.
The video runs 2:03.
It will be time well spent!

Volley ball is my favorite that I play. If you don’t play volley ball, youprobably don’t understand.
Only idiots make a video like this one political.

Posted on January 13, 2012 at 4:09pmTotally agree! That was a grueling point and nothing to be ashamed about losing that one. In China or at the US collegiate level, that was a superb effort.

Posted on January 13, 2012 at 11:43pmSome of those saves were breathtaking, and the teamwork on both teams was incredible. It’s no wonder, when they were done, both teams looked completely exhausted. Good show – my hats off to everyone involved.

Posted on January 13, 2012 at 3:02pmThe great thing about the Blaze is that there is such a variety of articles available. Of course, there are those who will criticize anything and everything. Nothing to compare with the Blaze staff and their dedication to their craft. It is no wonder that the Blaze got 6 million visitors in December 2011.

Posted on January 13, 2012 at 2:34pmYou would have to be a volleyball fan to appreciate how extremely difficult and mentally demanding this is at this level of play. Most rallys like that last maybe 30 seconds at most. This is extraordinary and amazing to watch. Look at how exhausted they all are at the end and these are top level athletes.
