Time to start another one of my rants against the Cev, I guess :d But honestly, this just shows how well they are "promoting" the sport. In men's competition, we had 24 teams participating in qualification three years ago, 20 two years ago, 16 last year and now we're down to 10 :wall: Teams from Greece, the Netherlands clearly don't even care anymore :cry:

Hard to blame them. I mean, CEV having them go through 3 rounds (potentially 6 weeks) of travel and qualification and then giving only 2 of them a chance of playing the real tournament and winning the STUNNING price of 50.000 $ is beyond ridiculous.

We now know that :CZE and :EST  will host the male EuroVolley 2021. Two other countries will probably be :FIN and  :GER.

:SRB  has been officially confirmed as the first host of the 2021 Women EuroVolley. They will also be the "main" host, as the semifinals and medal games will take place in Belgrade. Allegedly :BUL and :ROU will host the competition as well.

Justo ahora, thepharoah dijo:

Historic victory for Peru over China in women's junior volleyball WCH

 

It's not historic lol, Perú has beaten China many times in the past in different categories.

 

This Chinese generation seems to be very weak, they lost all friendlies last week and also did very poor in the u18 two years ago. I predict the second place of this pool will finish 8th in overall rankings.

    • Right, ready for  Brazil's first ever Paralympic Winter Games gold medal today   And with watching live actually being possible, vamos.
    • Great Britain only has a few medal chances to begin with, you can't genuinely expect all of your medal chances to convert, or even one unless they're a heavy favourite. 
    • A question about relay  qualification to LA 2028:    either you are among top 12 at the WCH, then you get 2 additional spots, or you have 4 swimmers there anyway and they can compete as relay, is that right?    now following scenario:  lets say an NOĆ has only one swimmer with A standard , let’s say 100m freestyle, and no other  swimmer qualified in any other discipline, but they are 12th in 4x100 freestyle at the WCH.  they would get two additional quota, but would have to decline them as they can’t compose a relay with 3 swimmers? Is this correct?

    • If anyone is interested, here is a link to a GeoGuessr Challenge.   It's in single player. There are 5 rounds total, and you have to pinpoint on a map as close as you can to the actual location that you spawned at. For this particular challenge, you have a time limit of 10 minutes per round and you can move as much as you want.   Since this is Totallympics, thought this particular map would be an appropriate theme. There is a flag at the start of each location that's supposed to help you identify where you are.   You can do this challenge at any time (no need to coordinate times with other users) and you only need a regular account, not a premium account.
    • Iran : any country closes/kick the US embassy will get a free pass in Hormuz strait     
    • March 9th Results - Asia   Pool C:    South Korea 7-2  Australia   Highlights:     Pool C Standings:     Team W L PCT Japan* 3 0 1.000 South Korea* 2 2 .500 Australia 2 2 .500 Taiwan 2 2 .500 Czech Republic 0 3 .000 *Japan and South Korea advance to the quarterfinals
    • Puerto Rico beats  Cuba 4-1 and advances to the quarterfinals.   The Canada vs. Cuba matchup on Wednesday will decide who will be the 2nd team to advance from Pool A.
    • I mean you don't need 2 weeks for a 12 team tournament. The 20-team WBC is already 13 days and they are stretching the final stages. You can probably get away doing it in 9-10 days, including rain contingency.
    • The 6 teams is very disappointing, but I think there would be no chance the MLB would allow players is the competition took the entire length of the Olympics. Giving players one week off is manageable, two weeks is near impossible from the MLB perspective.   IOC probably had to decide between having 8-12 teams w/o MLB players or 6 teams with possibly having MLB players.
