Volleyball at the Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

Well, I DO NOT by all means suggest anything, but... did someone from IOC security check if all the "eggs" were the same temperature ? :d and I dont say it cause we got a hard opponent but that i am suspicious towards Russian federation ( sorry Russia fans, not anything against you or your team personally, however one of the important persons in your volley board commented a few weeks ago in the doping scandal that nothing will happen as Russia has " exceptionally good relationship with FiVB" so that seems to me like he silently said "Yes, we are financing FIVB and getting benefits for it")  and the event was not broadcast anywhere, at least I don't think so, so it's a bit strange Russia gets possibly the weakest opponent from the remaining 8 teams - not anything towards Canadian team, too ;)

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

draw is a draw, let`s not look for conspiracy theories.

 

The problem is Italy who decided to be director of this movie and to decide about France / Brazil fate. Disgusting for me during OG. For me Italian team should be just suspended for few days, that`d be fair.

 

If Russia was punished for doping this team of comedians shall be too

Nothing surprising with what Italy did, such kind of stuff has been going on for years now in volleyball. Brazil, Germany and others have done this also.

You know Canada beat the USA 3-0.  It's not unreal to think they may have beaten Italy 3-1 because they're just that good.  Yeah, it probably helped that Italy didn't need to win the game.  Doesn't mean they lost on purpose.

    • Would you believe we are straight back into action with the Scottish Championships starting tomorrow.  None of the Olympians in action, although team reserve Ross Whyte skips the favourites.   Usually some streaming at the weekend
    • Now that I've had half a day to recover from the traumatic hockey loss, I can answer this question better:   Favourite Moments from Canadian Athletes (not many but they still exist) The Cross-Country skiing team delivering great performance after great performance and giving hope for a Canadian renaissance in the sport Rachel Homan finally overcoming her Olympic demons and winning a medal in curling Mikael Kingsbury winning the first dual moguls Olympic gold medal at capping his career with an Olympic gold Megan Oldham winning gold in freeski big air Seeing the emergence of Stephen Gogolev in men's figure skating Deanna Stellato-Dudek finally getting to live out her Olympic dream at 42 years old when it looked like it wouldn't be the case after an injury in a practice session Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier finally getting an Olympic medal in Ice Dance Courtney Sarault winning 4 medals after winning no medals in 2022 and almost quitting the sport in 2023 Laurent Dubreuil finally winning a medal in the 500m Valerie Maltais (at 35 years old) turning back the clock and having a career year winning 3 Olympic medals in speed skating Women's Team Pursuit winning back-to-back gold medals   Favourite Moments from International Athletes:  Lucas Pinheiro Braathen winning gold in the men's giant slalom  Johan-Olav Botn dedicating his win to Sivert Guttorm Bakken  Federica Brignone overcoming injury and winning 2 gold medals  Lisa Vittozzi winning biathlon gold on home soil  Seeing the incredible Bulgarian performances in biathlon  Elana Meyers Taylor finally winning Olympic gold  Klaebo dominance Nazgul the dog  Mikhail Shaidorov winning gold in men's figure skating  Alysa Liu winning gold after retiring from the sport in 2022 Men's Freeski big air final Seeing the emergence of  Kacper Tomasiak in ski jumping The parallel giant slalom events  Choi Ga-on winning halfpipe gold after a scary injury on her 1st run Even though it wasn't the result I wanted, the men's snowboard cross final had a thrilling finish  Francesca Lollobrigida stunning everyone with gold in the women's 3000m and 5000m In general, seeing all the countries that hadn't won a Winter Olympic medal ever or in a long time win a medal at these Games
    • My proposal:   Skimo: Only a long distance race   Freestyle skiing: remove dual moguls or make it somehow different than regular moguls Like more focus in first to finish than technical score, otherwise it doesnt fit for a parallell format. Remove team events in freestyle.   Alpine skiing: take back individual  combined and remove the team event (but if they keep it, only allow one team/nation)   Curling: consider to include a singles skills event    Cross country skiing: can be kept it as it is but if they would consider removing team sprint, replace with having one sprint of each style. They could also make 50 km as individual start, and skiathlon should change order of free/classical between each championship.   Luge/skeleton/bob: remove relays. There is already team events (2men/4men)   Figure skating: remove team event   Speed skating: replace team Pursuit with a relaty format. Remove mass start.   Short track: remove some events, maybe relay, maybe 1000m or something.   Biathlon: like the current programme but to be honest (and my proposal might be controversial) the Pursuit is maybe the best event showtime who is best actuslly over 6 shootings and in a combination of individual start and head to head but it is strange to give out medals for both sprint and for a following race with handicap start. Like the winner of round Robin curling would get a gold and then a new good in playoffs. Why not have a Pursuit based on a shooting contest or something instead of a previous medal event?   Consider to include new sport: Bandy

    • Finnish olympic committee & our sports minister said that the target was 6 medals. FOR ONCE WE ACTUALLY ACHIEVED OUR TARGET   Our possible gold medal was just 0,5 seconds away(Nordic Combined)...
    • do you anderstand french   
    • From a  perspective:   Elana Meyers Taylor winning monobob, Alysa Liu winning women's figure skating, Shiffrin winning women's slalom & both our hockey teams winning gold   From an international perspective:    Klaebo dominating cross country skiing events  Shaidorov winning men's figure skating  Franjo von Allmen dominating men's alpine skiing  Kingsbury winning gold in dual moguls  Netherlands dominating short track now??!?!?!  Lucas winning gold for Brasil and South America   In reality, all the athletes are winners for sacrificing so much to participate in these Olympics. What an incredible games full of unpredictable and inspiring moments!
