Thai volleyballer Taravadee: I’m proud of myself, honored

“I’m very proud of myself and (it’s an) honor, because the China team beat (defend) very well and we can not control the processing,” said Naraphornrapat Taravadee, a Thai volleyballer at the ongoing 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou city, east China's Zhejiang province.

Taravadee said this when Taravadee and her teammate Worapeerachaya finished a beach volleyball game with the Chinese woman volleyballers of Wang Fan and Dong Jie. Taravadee and teammate Worapeerachaya aimed to win the bronze medal in the game, but they did not reach the goal.

“We (feel it) difficult to pass the (…) ball when it came with the China team. Of course, Thailand does very well in indoor and beach volleyball,” noted Taravadee, adding they’ll learn more for improvement and see the China team again.
