Eleven Chinese rising stars to watch at Hangzhou Asian Games

Wu Mengjie (Volleyball)

As an outside hitter, 21-year-old Wu often reminds people of Zhu Ting for the same position, similar heights and playing style. Wu made the national team training roster for the first time in April 2022 after her stunning performance in China's Nationals Games and the domestic league.

At the Chengdu Universiade in August, Wu led China to a straight-set win over Japan in the women's volleyball final with a team-high 16 points. Despite losing to host Thailand at the 2023 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship early September, Wu still made the tournament's Dream Team.
