BEIJING (AP)—The United States, playing under former Chinese player Jenny Lang Ping, defeated China 3-2 in women’s volleyball Friday night as the Chinese president looked on.
The 23-25, 25-22, 23-25, 25-20, 15-11 victory moved the United States to 3-2 in preliminary pool play, putting the team in a good place to make the quarterfinals. China fell to 2-2.
The match was one of the most anticipated of the volleyball competition because of U.S. coach Lang, a sports icon in China. She led the Chinese team to international prominence and a gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and later coached the national team.
Once known as the “Iron Hammer” for her powerful spikes, Lang was met by thunderous applause when she was announced.
Chinese President Hu Jintau attended the match.
