Amazing Champion's League final between :ITA Vero Volley Milano 2 - 3 :ITA Imoco Volley Conegliano!! The EurovolleyTV broadcast was available for free in the Netherlands, was a great opportunity to watch some of the highest level volleyball. And with a great result: another major prize for Robin de Kruijf!

 

Meanwhile on the men's side a convincing 3-0 win for :ITA Trentino Itas.

Finally a victory for Trento after 13 years (time of Juantorena and Kazyiski) and three defeats in the three finals in a row (two in 2021 and 2022). The series of victories of Polish teams was also broken: 3 in a row. In the women's game, Paola Egonu played very poorly today and this is worrying in the context of the national team season.

I'm sad that Jastrzębski Węgiel didn't win the title, it would be so massive achievment for our volleyball as earlier Polish clubs did win this season Challenge Cup (Projekt Warszawa) and CEV Cup (Asseco Resovia). Anyway silver medal is still good :) 

 

And I'm happy for Imoco and Joanna Wołosz :clap:

This was the 7th season for De Kruijf and Wolosz at Imoco together I believe! Such a stable core for an elite team. Them and De Gennaro have been there for ages I feel like. Love it when a team sticks together:cheer:

Italy is the only nation among men that is able to interrupt Polish domination from time to time, either in the national team or in the club. For me, Trento deserved this title after so many years of waiting. Moreover, it is a rare example of an Italian team with a great youth academy that is not afraid to rely on young Italians: Michieletto and Giannelli trained there in their youth.

Today our guys played first match of this very important for them season, friendly against Germany, they lost 1-3, exactly like it was in last year, I'm hoping that this trend will repeat and now we will win all important, official matches, like it was in 2023 :d

:GRE Greece and :ROU Romania are currently hosting the U18 Women's Europeans.   :ITA Italy are the big favorites once again. They have been winning every junior Euros, men or women, in the past few years :d .

 

Surprisingly our team is doing very well and we are still undefeated, going over :TUR and :POL in the group so far. We are always doing good at these junior events with the boys, but recently there have been a big improvement with girl teams. Still waiting for this to transfer to the elite level and someday getting us passed the 15-25th place in the World.

Amazing performance and our U18 women's team won the European title! :clap: :hyper: From what i saw, this is the first women's junior title we have ever won in any of these U17-U23 European / World tournaments. Playing :ITA Italia in the 1/2 probably made a difference, as the pressure wasn't as big, as if it was in the final. Getting that dramatic win in the 1/2 let loose the girls and they were overplaying :BEL Belgium in 95% of the match in the final.

 

Our setter Dimana Ivanova was chosen as MVP of the tournament. Many of the girls showed great promise, but i was especially impressed with one of our best OH Kalina Veneva. Even though this was an U18, she is only 15 years old, but it didn't stop her from being one of the team's leaders. :)

and Today we also lost the men's Sub-22 European title to France (we came back 2-2 after losing the first 2 sets, but we couldn't manage the tie-break and finally lost 3-2) :facepalm:

 

hopefully, those youth losses will be made up with both the men and women's Olympic Gold Medals :p

It`s worth mentioning that the three best players from this age group are already playing in the senior team: Bovolenta, Luca Porro and Laurenzano. There is no one like that in the French senior squad. This shows that our men's youth system works great: the best juniors join the senior team, and the rest are still able to win medals in youth categories. This is what we lack a bit in the female sectors.

    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".
