5-2 at the Women’s Volleyball Olympic Qualifiers, with two 3-0 victories today and yesterday against Czech Republic and Mexico. Germany is still in the mix for a quota, but assuming they don’t qualify, it’ll be a battle between us and Netherlands at VNL 2024 for a spot in Paris. 

The top 5 ranked teams not already qualified will do so through rankings, correct? Canada is now #5 on the yet to be qualified teams, but it also has to included teams from all continents. Africa and Oceania do not have qualified teams, so do they automatically get spots (Kenya and Australia)?

Kenya, yes. Oceania doesn't have their own confederation so Australia won't be an issue. Right now, Canada is one spot outside from qualifying through rankings.

Canada with an important 3-2 (25-21, 23-25, 24-26, 25-18, 15-12) victory over Netherlands to start off their OQT! Nimir led Netherlands with 29 points. Maar was Canada’s top scorer with 19 points, followed by Szwarc with 18 points. Up next, Argentina.

Did Canada just get maximum points off Argentina ??

Yes, they won 3-1. NDL and ARG were the two teams they had to beat to potentially finish top-2, since Poland is #1 in the world.  Their other competition are ranked below them, but not by much so there's still work to do. However, Canada looked really good in both matches so far (although they need to clean up their serves a bit). Cautiously optimistic.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
