Cuba's women's volleyball team has lost its previous strength, in the final analysis, because Cuba's comprehensive strength is too weak to maintain scientific training. I have seen a saying that the medal list of the Olympic Games is the ranking of the country's comprehensive strength, and volleyball can't be immune to it. Under the condition that Cuba's comprehensive strength is weak, it is simply unable to cope with the huge investment of big countries. Without the support of a lot of resources, the decline of Cuban women's volleyball team is also justified.

In fact, modern sports competitions have already passed the stage of relying on personal talent and blind training. With the development of modern science and technology, stadiums and gymnasiums began to be filled with all kinds of auxiliary equipment and equipment of modern science and technology, and there were also scientific training methods for mobilizers. These investments will only increase over time.
This is also the reason why large-scale sports competitions are monopolized by developed countries. They have enough will and ability to strengthen the training of athletes. Perhaps the talent of athletes is not top-notch, but with the help of scientific training and auxiliary equipment, it can be made up. Still achieved a good ranking in the competition.
Cuba, a small country bordering the world's largest country, received assistance from the Soviet Union during the Cold War and its economy was very good. However, since the end of the cold war, the economy has directly fallen to the bottom and has not recovered so far.
Economically, the end of the cold war ended the good life in Cuba. At that time, in order to compete with the United States, the Soviet Union bought various Cuban products at a high price several times higher than the world average price all the year round. In disguise, it has provided huge assistance to Cuba. At that time, Cuba's economic development level was quite high, and it still enjoyed the dividends at that time in education and medical care, which even the United States envied.
With the development of economy, Cuba has enough ability to develop sports, which is also the reason why Cuban women's volleyball team can rank among the top teams in the world. However, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, all this ended. Cuba lost the Soviet Union's "fuel bag" and the United States continued its economic sanctions against Cuba since the Cold War. Since then, Cuba's economy has never improved.
The bumpy economic development makes it impossible for Cuba to continue to invest a lot of resources in volleyball, and naturally the Cuban women's volleyball team will gradually withdraw from the world's top teams. If Cuba still can't turn the economy around, the Cuban women's volleyball team, once a world-class team, will have no hope of rising again.
To sum up, the rise and fall of Cuban women's volleyball team is bound to be related to the country's economic development. After the Cold War, Cuba's economy plummeted and its strength was greatly reduced, which made it impossible to maintain its investment in women's volleyball. Therefore, the Cuban women's volleyball team withdrew from the top teams.
