I’m assuming you mean in Poland, particularly Stare Jabloncki.
FYI @CCB Boermans/De Groot and Van De Velde/Immers will both be there, while Brouwer/Meeuwsen will not. All three will compete at the final two Elite 16s in Espinho and Ostrava.
Maybe Brouwer and Meeuwsen will enter this competition as well. Wouldn't be surprised.
I hope the two new teams qualify, Brouwer and Meeuwsen have meant a lot to beach volleyball in the Netherlands, but I wish their young successors a ticket for the Olympic Games. But hey! What an unprecedented luxury for Dutch beach volleyball: three teams that are good enough.
Does anyone know where you can find an overview of the extensive Olympic rankings? And where you can see how a team's points total is structured. You could follow this at other Olympic Games via various sites, but this year I can't find anything about it.
Good job from Boermans and De Groot. In beachvolleyball they are the biggest medal hope for The Netherlands in Paris. If they make Paris, they only played 8 tournaments and Boermans is injured every now and then.
The Dutch teams finish 5th. How much points for the Olympic ranking do they get for their 5th places? And how many points for 9tjh place? I can't find the points table.
Mol/Sørum lost to Luini/de Groot in the QFs Unfortunately, that means we won't get to see a Sweden-Norway final
Luini and De Groot are an occasional couple this week. It is a mess within Dutch beachvolleyball right now. Boersmans (Boermans/de Groot) has a serious injury, Van de Velde doesn't wanna play anymore with Varenhorst. So Varenhorst decided to play with Luini, but Varenhorst has a back injury. Van de Velde decided to play with Immers, but last week he played the national championships with Van der Loo, while Immers played with De Groot.
Every week every player has a new partner.Not really useful in view of Olympic qualification.
Raisa Schoon (19y) and Katja Stam (21y) won the Dutch play-off today. Based on the results of the Continental Cup, they really deserved the ticket. And they did: 21-11 21-13 against Ypma/van Iersel. Very happy with this result!
At the CEV Continental Cup for Europe won the last women's quota (after a very intense battle with Russia) and won the last men's quota (after a big fight with The Netherlands). I've seen so much nice matches this week, absolutely love this sport!
Qualified for Tokio:
Women: Ypma/van Iersel or Schoon/Stam (play-off tomorrow)
Exactly, for example in shooting an athlete can only earn one quota, but the NOC doesn't have to select them to compete.
But are there any rules for selecting the athletes? Is a NOC required to select a "top-15 team" over - let's say - the number 36 of the FIVB World Ranking?
Each team can only win one quota place. For example Mol/Sorum cannot win a quota place both here and through the ranking.
So, the winners of the tickets this week will participate at the Olympics? Strange, why is Brazil sending their B-teams if they cannot change the line-up for the Olympics?
Nations earn a quota place here, therefore I don't understand why some countries didn't send their best teams. For example . Normally Mol/Sorum would easily grab one quota for Norway and because of their first place at the rankings, Norway could have send its second team (Berntsen/Mol).
I'm surprised there's apparently not some extra criteria they need to fulfill. You know, winning the world title without losing a set or something.
Hahahaha, oh yes there are!! Dutch women must end up once in the top 5 at a 4**** or 5*****-FIVB-tournament. For me it's a mystery why the men doesn't have this criteria.
Kerri Walsh-Jennings and Brooke Sweat lose their opening match 2-1 against Stubbe and Van Iersel
That's a big surprise, but hey ... with a very weak team in their poule, the other three teams will finish in the top 3 and will advance to the next round.
