Well, not much to say - first defeat, exactly as predicted. Still, I think our girls played well, especially in the first set, and should be able to win against Belgium  . tommorow .

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

@dareza @VolleyRuller96 - I hope you're both wrong - neither Serbians will be unstopable nor the Polish defeat was easy to predict. I think it was our worst game in the VNL this season, which doesn't mean Serbia played well - just what they played was enough to beat us today. But I think it will be much harder in Olympic qualifications, when we'll help our girls with the best doping in the world.

Maybe like 2017, in qualification for WC :d

You will beat Russia as well. This Russian team is joke.

2 out of 3 matches won, so everything's going according to plan :thumbup: And although I hoped for 3 points today, it's the wins that count, so I can't complain, after all, we're just 2-3 games away from a HUGE success :champion:

Poland is looking great.

 

The final european olympic qualifications will be crazy. Russia really had luck to get the group they got, otherwise I think they would be fighting with the rest of the pack.  

Only Serbia and Italy are a level above.

Eh really pity for this young girls. But maybe this was expected after two almost perfect matches. They are still not ready to play well continuously. 

 

But in the last two weekends we will be with an even younger team, without 3 players from A team that played now in Belgium. So, no chance for top 6.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
