Men's Volleyball FIVB Nations League 2024

I see a lot of people saying that Brazil doesn't have new players, but seriously that our new players are worse than Borges or Lucas? Throughout the championship, Adriano and Bergmann had even better performances than Leal and Lucarelli, but one of them will be cut because he "has no experience" (they aren't friends of the coach). Honorato, who was spectacular last year, is now just a libero (who can't even play). Anyway, congratulations Poland.

Semifinals

:SLO v. :JPN

:POL v. :FRA

 

 

Expected semifinal teams, some things did surprise me though. Mainly Italy’s youth team going toe to toe with France, only losing in 5.

Unexpected loss for us, 2-3 against France. This match was great example why Kaczmarek shouldn't play in national team, not mentioning about going to Olympics... We shouldn't waste two big leads in second set and tie-break, but oh well, better to loss here than in QF in Paris...

I haven't watched today's match, so I can't say anything

 

looking at the score, they might have played way better than yesterday, but as I wrote, the score doesn't necessarily reflect all that happened on the court :dunno:

 

we'll see...I still think :ITA:POL and :BRA are the great favourites for the Olympic medals, but who knows?

 

sports are beautiful also because nothing is written in stone and things may be overturned big time on any given day

    • That's the tree she should have been barking up all along.  I wonder if there are issues between her and the USABS too. I noticed they kept their names off all these appeals and advocacy she's been doing, it's the USOPC backing her. 
    • Dispute over the Olympic medal stripped from US gymnast Jordan Chiles goes back to Swiss court | AP News https://share.google/s0zQiSPKNTExyWxbG   This is back in the news now...
    • and after  we got the scalp of  in a World Cup warm-up match played in  Dubai    once again, it was a late surge with the bats, finishing with a 6 by Zain Ali at the very last ball (when we needed a 4 to tie and a 5 to win the match)    final score:  165/7 (20 overs),  167/7 (20 overs);  win by 3 wickets
    • China's medal prospects   Short Track Speed Skating: This is the event with the deepest emotional ties to China's winter sports, as China's first Olympic gold medal in winter sports came from this discipline. Unsurprisingly, people have high expectations for it in this Winter Olympics. Medal prospects are mainly focused on men's individual events and the two relay events. However, considering the strong strength of William Dandjinou, I think the probability of winning gold in men's individual events is very low. Instead, the main gold medal hopes lie in the men's relay and mixed relay. Medals: 1-3. My guess: 1 gold; Optimistic: 2 golds   Freestyle Skiing: The performance of this event is crucial to China's success in this Winter Olympics. Eileen Gu remains our super star and is highly competitive in slopestyle and halfpipe. As for the big air, if I remember correctly, she hasn't competed in this event since the Beijing Winter Olympics, so it's hard for me to make a clear judgment on her performance in this individual event. China has the potential to compete for medals or even gold in all three medal events of freestyle skiing aerials. However, given the unpredictability of aerials, the results could be either disastrous or brilliant. Xu Mengtao will compete in her fifth Winter Olympics. Medals: 3-6. My guess: 3 golds; Optimistic: 4 golds   Speed Skating: Similar to the situation in Beijing, the medal hopes still lie with Gao Tingyu and Ning Zhongyan. However, Stolz has shown extremely strong dominance during the Milan Olympic cycle, so I don't think there will be any gold medals in this event. Gao Tingyu has performed excellently in the previous two Winter Olympics, and I still believe he can win a medal in the 500m. Ning Zhongyan also has the potential to win medals in the 1000m and 1500m. Medals: 1-3. My guess: 0 gold; Optimistic: 0 gold   Snowboard: Like in Beijing, Su Yiming remains the star of China's snowboarding. He has maintained a very good competitive form this season, with great chances especially in the big air event, where he will aim to defend his title. He also has the potential to win a medal in slopestyle. Medals: 1-2. My guess: 1 gold; Optimistic: 1 gold   Skeleton: Men's events and mixed team events are opportunities to compete for medals, with Yin Zheng being the key athlete for medal contention. Medals: 1-2. My guess: 0 gold; Optimistic: 1 gold   Curling: China will send both men's and women's teams to this event. Both teams have the ability to compete with high-level strong teams. I predict that either the men's or women's team will reach the top four. Medals: 0-1. My guess: 0 golds; Optimistic: 0 golds   Ski Jumping: This is still a less developed event for China, but Zeng Ping has made significant progress this season, entering the top 8 in many high-level competitions. There is a chance to compete for a medal, but it will be very difficult to achieve. If it really happens, I think it will be quite incredible. Medals: 0-1   I think other events have no chance of winning medals.   summary, Optimistic: 8 golds and 17 medals;  My guess: 5 golds and 14 medals;  Worst-case scenario: 3 golds and 11 medals.
    • we're in Italy! calm down and relax...   everything necessary will appear when it will appear, possibly at least a few hours before the action starts (but don't get mad if it's a few days after the Games are underway)   pure Italian style 
    • So tomorrow, the girls will made a protest prior to the mass start for the not-inclusion of Women Nordic Combined into the Olympics   I mean, yeah IOC and FIS have a point that the sport has so few medalled nations in the last decades, but in other hands they still keep in the olympics sports like Equestrian, diving or table tennis where even less nations medal for almost centuries now 
    • I was just doing my prediction on the other thread, and then I calculated... I had 21 Gold, 8 Silver, 15 Bronze.  Probably a little too hopeful.   Oops!  (And I didn't even think I was being too optimistic as I was filling it out...guess so...)
    • This should be included in the Olympics soon. Every single event that’s added to the program is a positive thing.
