Volleyball/Sitting Volleyball

[intoronto 6,408]

Don't mean to be a cynic, but our men's volleyball team looks to be toast at the WL, three heavy loses at home to start. There are a lot of new players on the team, perhaps this golden generation of the last two quads is over.

 

On the other hand, the women seem to be improving and handily beat the DR, and they look to be solidly second in Norceca.

Not a good start for Canada. For us to have any chance at qualifying to the Olympics we need to be ranked at least 11th. These losses don't help our chances.

 

The women have had a good start, but they'll need a few upsets to reach an Olympic qualification position.

Yeah, these are the type of wins they need if they want to secure a spot at the Olympics

Canada up to 14th in the world rankings. We'd need to go up at least 3 more spots (4 if Russia gets unbanned) in order to be in a decent position to qualify to the Olympics.

Canada's women's sitting volleyball team is playing an exhibition tournament in the Netherlands right now in preparation for the World Cup in November. 4-0, with sweeps over Ukraine, France, Great Britain (As expected), and a four set win over Italy. They play host-nation Netherlands, and reigning Paralympic Champions United States tomorrow.

Finished off the exhibition with one win, and one loss. Started the day with a 3-0 victory over Netherlands, and finished it with a 3-2 loss against United States (USA's best player in Heather Erickson wasn't playing though)
