    • Description

      Volleyball coach Lang Ping from China and wrestling coach Raúl de Jesús Trujillo Díaz from Cuba have received the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Coaches Lifetime Achievement Award. The awards were received from IOC President Kirsty Coventry and Sergii Bubka, Chair of the IOC Athletes’ Entourage Commission, at a ceremony at Olympic House in Lausanne. Trujillo Díaz is an icon in Greco-Roman wrestling whose athletes include the legendary Mijaín López Ruíz – a five-time Olympic champion. Lang is the first person to win Olympic volleyball gold as both a player and coach. Her coaching career spans China, the USA and Italy. Both coaches have helped countless athletes to reach the pinnacles of their sports, winning dozens of medals in the process across several editions of the Olympic Games.
