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...

    • so, the Swiss reigning champions, who saved their ass in the last match of the RS, now are almost safe in the semis once again...   very impressive performance also by RB Salzburg, I didn't expect them to make such a good run, even if the 2nd leg match won't be easy at all and they're all but safe in the final four

    • I guess 65, 79, 88, 110, 110+ will be the Olympic classes for 2028 (I don't think IOC would allow them to increase the number of gold medals available at the Games yet...most likely they want to to stay with the current lineup and see how it goes in the next Olympic cycle in terms of doping scandals before taking any decision)  or maybe they will keep those weights for the "regular activity" and later on they will set 5 different weight classes only good for Olympic purposes, with dedicated tournaments when it's time for the OQ (like Taekwondo, more or less)  but it's just my personal speculation, I have no infos from the inside 
    • Today the funniest tournament of the season, the Shoot Out, will starts
    • Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.
    • if they limit the number of qualified athletes to 8 per category that will not exceed the allocated quota (marginally). I know 8 athletes only is a bit harsh but will be more competitive.  
    • Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).   Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.   Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.   In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha).    For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament.
