Zhu Ting, who won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) title at the Rio Olympics, is suffering from a wrist injury. Kilari said: "I have never seen Zhu Ting as inexistent as when she played against the Turkish team, and she was replaced twice. Today, she behaved more like herself. Wrapped in her hands. Someone said she was injured, but this is not what we are going to worry about. Zhu Ting is the cornerstone of the Chinese team. I don’t think the Chinese team can win the Rio Olympics without her. It would be different with her."
