Beach Volleyball at the Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

We made the semi-finals :clap:

 

Alright, it was NED - NED, but still :lol:

 

Always a bit disappointing when two teams/players from the same nation play each other in any sport..

Could someone replace those booing people in the stadium with actual beach volleyball fans? 

 

Are we gonna complain about boos in team sports now?

This is worthy of complaining, I've never heard it being so bad in beach volleyball in any other country, normally it's one big party. And yes, that includes NED - BRA in the world champs final in the Netherlands last year, where (I looked it back before posting) there was no booing, only cheering for one team and a bit quiet for the other team. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against these players and I would be more than happy with both as finalists (Alison is by far my favourite player in the world), but this is just...no. No words. 

 

(Apart from the fact that I don't even really see this as a 'real' team sport with a full team instead of a duo)

I don't support the boos in general, but I don't really see the problem in team sports. Brazil suffers the same playing in other countries (ok, maybe not so much in Beach Volleyball), so I don't really get some of the complaints.

That's just as bad if you ask me :p 

 

I'm just sad because I was looking forward to watching a great match, like beach volleyball always is a big party, but the presence of a Brazilian team in the match makes it unbearable...just unacceptable. And as a fan that makes me sad, no matter who wins. 

 

Like in the gymnastics, I was really happy for Hypolito winning a medal since that was just awesome, but those crowds gave me mixed feelings...and the same story again for Thiago Braz.

    • Broke down some numbers of what is still in doubt: For 3 sleds men and women are done. For two sleds there is no competition left in men's (  doesn't enter a WC race and secures two?) but in women's its  Erlacher vs  Channel and Erlacher needs to finish probably four positions ahead in final WC race.   For one sled, in men's, Takahashi or  Yaw will have to enter a EC or WC race for the first time this year, or it is over. Even if they do they have to gain about 50 points over their current 7th best result, so they would need to score about 100. So men's probably done, unless  Buff does not compete again, even then he could still make it.   The women's final few placements could be chaotic and will really depend on who decides to race where on the final weekend. Looking at current 7 best results  Schmied has 492,  Johansen has 493,   Delka has 524, and  Burger has 538. For Delka to miss out then the lower two need to both finish top 20 in a WC or I think top 7 in a EC. They both have a 7th best score of 36 they have to improve on, and who knows if Delka will race one more time or not.
    • will have 5 representatives in Luge at the 2026 Olympics.      Jozef Ninis (Top pic) in the M Singles will compete at his 6th consecutive WOG !!! He debuted in Torino 2006 to close the circle in another Italian resort in 2026, by this he set the new Slovak Winter Olympic record of participation and tie the all time one with Erik Vlček competing at 6 games in Sprint Canoeing as well.   The remaining quartet (Pic 2) will debut at the Olympics, all still Juniors Christián Bosman & Bruno Mick in the M Doubles and still schoolgirls Viktória Praxová & Desana Špitzová in the olympic premiere of the W Doubles     Must also be said, that we were quite unlucky in this qualifiers periode, Marián Skupek missed the second M Singles quota by 1 point and ended first non-qualified athlete and the experienced doubles Vaverčák/Zmij which was in clear qualifying position ended the season after Vaverčák injured his knee in the training before the Sigulda race 2 weeks ago   Also for the first time no W Singles participation for us meaning also obviously no participation in the Mixed Relay competition for the first time as well   Team (Updated as of 12th January 2026) 40 Athletes (30 M + 10 W)    
    • Hypothetically she could meet the minimum standards still with a high placement in the NAC event tomorrow. Seems unlikely to me, but still possible.

    • Yea she did not meet the minimum points. Since the event doesn't have enough qualifiers, its possible the FIS still grants her a quota
