'Iron Hammer' swings to new beat

Leading a team to the top of the world is the ultimate coaching goal, but for volleyball legend Lang Ping that dream appears over.

Having guided teams to two Olympic silver medals in her coaching career, 48-year-old Lang is now aiming to promote the sport in other ways.

"I still love volleyball but I've thought nothing about leading another national team to lift the Olympic champions title. It would be so tiring," said Lang, who is enjoying a vacation in Beijing with her daughter.
