No way we will win all 4 Volleyball gold medals, I expect 2 (3 if we're lucky).

 

I hope USA wins one of the indoors, most likely women, but they were overmatched in the Grand Prix Final

 

and seems like Brazil have problem with pressure playing at home (7-1)

I don't think we have a "problem with pressure playing at home". This was one competition, and we lost based on quality (meaning that our team was shit). The Olympics are different. You can lose a gold medal (Men's Football) and win another in a question of minutes (Women's Volleyball). At Rio, will be the same. Brazil will lose some "sure" golds, and maybe will win other medals that weren't expected.

 

I don't think we will win all 4 gold medals in Volleyball because we have other teams that are in the same level or are even better. For me, USA women has a more consistent team than Brazil. For Beach Volleyball, there's a number of teams that are good enough to win against our athletes etc

Bold prediction: Brazil wins <2 golds in all volleyball events.

A little less bold: I think Brazil will win 1 or 2 gold volleyball medals :p (and let's say 4 total medals....and 2 for the USA) 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I don't think today's beach volleyball pairs will think "oh my, our football team lost at home in 1950, I think we are doomed" :p
