Can Serbia still qualify to Olympics over Cuba? 

Yes, of course, the difference is small.

 

Also, they play next week.

[rybak 3,218]

From following 17 players, who will play in third week, an Olympic team of 12+1 will be selected right before final round of VNL.

 defeat  in 5!! 

[MHSN 3,621]

after 15 defeats in a row (7 last year, 8 this year) Iran finally managed to win a match in VNL, surprisingly against the USA ! (also broke the 5th set curse) 

 

while it doesn't change anything competition-wise, that was a must needed win for their confidence, that would be the end of our volleyball program if we finished this with 12 defeats. now there is some hope that our team isn't that shit. 

 

and to be honest I think if they could pick up a win in the first week, they could be still fighting for the quota.

The  v  match started a little while ago.

 

These two nations are essentially fighting for the last quota spot, winner goes into a nice position.

 

Cuba's final matches will be against  while Serbia gets . Overall pretty similar schedules. The loser will definitely need to defeat one of Poland/Slovenia to have a chance, but even then it might not be enough.

Cuba wins the first set 25-22 to take a 1-0 lead.

[JoshMartini007 2,538]

Cuba takes the second set 25-21

[LDOG 2,418]

Serbia won 3-2 

 

Cuba throwing olympic qualification again.

[JoshMartini007 2,538]

Serbia now has an 11 point lead over Cuba. I thought they had it after going up 2-0.

 

They pretty much need to beat either Poland or Slovenia to qualify now (along with winning against Bulgaria).
