Pools have just been announced for VNL 2024. As a reminder, the top five unqualified nations in the World Rankings (including an African country, which is pretty much guaranteed to be Egypt as no African nation will be competing in events that’ll add points towards their World Ranking) after the end of the preliminary phase will qualify for Paris. 

Here’s the countries still in contention:

:ITA Italy (342.43 pts)

:ARG Argentina (313.35 pts)

:SLO Slovenia (307.12 pts)

:SRB Serbia (253.22 pts)

:CUB Cuba (236.96 pts)

:NED Netherlands (214.58 pts)

 

 

:EGY Egypt (164.05 pts)

 

Italy, Argentina, Slovenia are safe. Final quota will most likely between Serbia and Cuba with only Netherlands playing as a potential spoiler should both of the above teams colapse. Egypt has pretty much locked up the African quota.

Our best player Aleksandar Nikolov will miss this year's VNL, as he is going to get surgery for a back problem. And with a number of retirements last year, after failing to qualify to Paris, it's going to be an almost brand new team.

One of :NED best players Bennie Tuinstra will also miss this year's VNL. He's not injured and there's no conflict between him and the federation (yet). Apparently the federation forgot to check a box in the signup process and now he's not elligible to play and the Dutch squad is only 29 players...

Olympic sports Canoeing, Field Hockey, Golf, Modern Pentathlon, Shooting, Sport Climbing, Tennis, and Weightlifting will not be involved in any matter while the non-Olympic sport of Karate was also dropped. Baseball/Softball, Dancesport, and Wushu are non-Olympic sports which will get to participate in some capacity.   22/31 Olympic sports will be present (surfing has yet to be involved at a Youth Olympics).   I know we can't (or should) emulate the Olympic program, but hosts should try to include as many sports as possible, especially the relatively cheaper ones like shooting, sport climbing and weightlifting. The good thing is that it looks like the mixed NOCs events are gone (I think they mentioned this earlier).
    • schedule of events is always the same, you can look at the previous round and see how normally things go   no finals on Friday (qualifications of all events only), medal sessions are always only on Saturday and Sunday (alternating men and women's distances on the 2 days, mixed relay normally ends on Sunday)
    • There are both positives and negatives in this situation. The negative is that we are once again changing the weights and erasing records in an attempt to forget the past and "start all over". Nothing speaks more about the integrity of a sport, when it changes it's system every 5 years.   On the positive is that they are actually reducing the number of weights and not keeping the absurd 10. And i know, that for a long time in the past they were always 10, but i think 8 is the perfect balance.   If only wrestling could reduce them to 8 as well.. Boxing could have 10, but that would still be a plus from their current 13-15, or whatever number they have.
    • I think this time  won't get many 4th places, rather they have some chances to win it all (in Freestyle)
    • some Olympic stars are missing...   no Ceccon nor Martinenghi for  and, above all, no  Marchand
    • New events happening.   There will be a mixed 4x100m, starting 2025 Official Walk distances from 2026 will now simply be Marathon & Half Marathon.   https://worldathletics.org/news/press-releases/world-athletics-council-action-against-gender-based-violence
    • loves Košice, we know this, both times won Hockey world champs, they were in Košice so no surprise it will be Finland who´ll play all its 3 group matches in Košice   https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0294-1c7d2702841e-d24c5fd030cd-1000/u21_match_schedule.pdf
    • Its because Senegal has a dedicated beach wrestling facility and maybe the sport is urban 
    • I don't think things are that bad for the women's team - 4th in the relay with Dorro & three in their early 20s.
