Zhao Ruirui, at 1.97meters, was the tallest player in the Women’s Volleyball World Cup. Thanks to her baby face, she was also the most beautiful player.

But, more importantly, she was also the Cup’s best player! She attacked (攻击) quickly, scored (得分)lots of points, and was a great striker.

“ She is young, but she’s already an excellent attacker,” says Chen Zhonghe, the team’s head coach..

Being tall sometimes makes Zhao’s life difficult. The 22-year-old girl finds it hard to buy trousers long enough. And sometimes people think she’s a boy.

Still, she would never want to be short .  “ It’s a pity I can’t grow any taller,” she says. “I hope to be even taller, so I would be a better player.”

Zhao works very hard to be good at volleyball. But when she’s not training, she likes to listen to pop songs and she likes drawing.

She was very pleased to win the Cup. She also made a contribution to winning the 2004 Athens Olympics.

“ I want to be the best volleyball player in the world,” she says.” I still have a long way to go.”
