Would be surprised to see Canada take a set off them, given how horribly they've been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surlympics 286 Posted July 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Is there other chances for Canada to improve their world ranking because they are sitting in 12 just missing out because France gets a quota as hosts. Or do they have to qualify through the olympic qualifying tournaments now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also counting towards the total are this year's Continental Championships and next year's VNL. So still, a long way to go. About 20 or so matches. Through World Rankings, Africa will be awarded a quota (Assuming they don't qualify through the OQT), so technically we need to reach the top 10 in order to have a chance at qualification.

Surlympics 286 Posted July 7, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 7, 2023 okay cool and at the rate the women's team is doing, that's very attainable if they continue to grow. They beat the reigning world champs (Serbia) and olympic silver medallists (Brazil). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not discrediting Canada's victory over Serbia, but less satisfying of a win as they were without one of their best players in Boskovic (Without her though, they are still an excellent team).
