Oh, look, Russia will win. Another 3:2 result coming up.

Go go Poland!

Okay, Russia doesn't deserve to go to the Olympics, but Korea deserves a lot less. I have never seen such a mentally weak team.

They were winning the third set 22-18 and Russia scored 7 points in a row and lost 22-25. In the fifth set they were winning by 11-9 and now 6 points in a row from Russia to lose 11-15. How is this possible?

Better Russia, as to have one less team in the european qualifier.

I just don't get it. FIVB is apparently incapable of making a reasonable qualification system.

This qualification system is about as good as it can get. I mean it can’t reasonably get better. Even continent gets a team as it should, and the top 24 teams in the world are all given 2 opportunities to qualify.

Yes, it can. First of all send every continental champion (so that part is over with) and then give all the other teams a worldwide OQT where the top-X qualifies.

Well, at least is better than last time with that senseless intercontinental qualifier gone...
