After 3 seasons in the Chinese League, the 2016 Olympic Champion and Olympic MVP is very excited to play in the Turkish League this season with Vakifbank.
In an article released by the FIVB, the 21 year old also looks forward to being on the same side of the court with some of Volleywood’s best and brightest stars.
“I am looking forward to playing in the Turkish league next season. My future teammates will include Kimberly Hill of USA, the Netherlands’ No. 10 Lonneke Slöetjes [voted the Olympic tournament’s Best Opposite] and Serbia’s middle blocker Milena Rasic [also a Dream Team player, receiving the Best Middle Blocker award]. We will make a strong team and I think I can learn a lot from the experience in Turkey.” -Zhu Ting
Vakifbank also has Turkish star Naz Aydemir Akyol and Gözde Sonsirma Kırdar. The team is coached by Giovanni Guidetti, the head coach of The Netherlands.
Good luck Vakifbank!
