we all know that nowadays "La Gazzetta dello Sport" is more a "gossip gazette" rather than the great sports newspaper it used to be in its glory days...

 

so, to try and keep their more recent title, they did publish a not-official ranking of the highest paid Volleyball players in both our top tier men and women's League...

 

the numbers reported are not official, since the contracts are not publicly disclosed (formally and legally, we are not talking of professional leagues with strict obligations in terms of public accounts)...

 

however, as expected, Wilfredo Leon (900k €/year) among the men and Paola Egonu (400k €/year) among the women are a class apart...on the court and off the court, in their respective bank accounts...

 

here is the top 10 in both the men and women's division (the article is in Italian, but names and numbers are basically the same for everybody, with very few exceptions ;))...

Bosetti (one or the other) worth more than De Kruijf, Herbots or Chirichella... with all the respect - senza commento.

well, most likely it all depends on when those contracts were signed...:mumble:

 

I guess a couple of years ago there were a lot more money available for many teams (for instance, it's not a coincidence that Zaytsev last year -summer 2019, I mean- went back to Russia when he was asked by Modena to cut good 2/3 of his salary down...and obviously he didn't accept that)...

 

more recent deals have surely suffered the general economical crisis of the Italian sports, especially team sports other than football...;)

    • Right, ready for  Brazil's first ever Paralympic Winter Games gold medal today   And with watching live actually being possible, vamos.
    • Great Britain only has a few medal chances to begin with, you can't genuinely expect all of your medal chances to convert, or even one unless they're a heavy favourite. 
    • A question about relay  qualification to LA 2028:    either you are among top 12 at the WCH, then you get 2 additional spots, or you have 4 swimmers there anyway and they can compete as relay, is that right?    now following scenario:  lets say an NOĆ has only one swimmer with A standard , let’s say 100m freestyle, and no other  swimmer qualified in any other discipline, but they are 12th in 4x100 freestyle at the WCH.  they would get two additional quota, but would have to decline them as they can’t compose a relay with 3 swimmers? Is this correct?

    • If anyone is interested, here is a link to a GeoGuessr Challenge.   It's in single player. There are 5 rounds total, and you have to pinpoint on a map as close as you can to the actual location that you spawned at. For this particular challenge, you have a time limit of 10 minutes per round and you can move as much as you want.   Since this is Totallympics, thought this particular map would be an appropriate theme. There is a flag at the start of each location that's supposed to help you identify where you are.   You can do this challenge at any time (no need to coordinate times with other users) and you only need a regular account, not a premium account.

    • Puerto Rico beats  Cuba 4-1 and advances to the quarterfinals.   The Canada vs. Cuba matchup on Wednesday will decide who will be the 2nd team to advance from Pool A.
    • I mean you don't need 2 weeks for a 12 team tournament. The 20-team WBC is already 13 days and they are stretching the final stages. You can probably get away doing it in 9-10 days, including rain contingency.
    • The 6 teams is very disappointing, but I think there would be no chance the MLB would allow players is the competition took the entire length of the Olympics. Giving players one week off is manageable, two weeks is near impossible from the MLB perspective.   IOC probably had to decide between having 8-12 teams w/o MLB players or 6 teams with possibly having MLB players.
