this is not basketball where you can qualify by 1 very big win, in volleyball you can't win more than 3 sets :d

 

no guarantee any of those 3 teams can qualify with just 3 pts (from a 3-0 win against Egypt) They need at least 1 pt (2 sets) in one of those two matches.

I think that 4 pts. are enough (3x0 vs Egypt + 1 pts. vs Pol/Bra).

Honestly, Serbia is worse than all the teams you mentioned (except Egypt) and I still think Slovenia will fail, as they don't have a B team and they will probably arrive at the Olympics exhausted. 

 

Considering how well Canada is doing I think your chances are good.

Serbia just beat us in 4, a couple of weeks ago…

 

I’m not convinced, but Canada has advanced to the quarterfinals at the last two Olympics, hopefully we can do it again.

I know. 
 

But having Egypt in your group pretty much guarantees you 3 points, which is a BIG boost towards your chances of making it towards the quarterfinals. I think 1 more point should do it.

Most of us don't care any more about groups. We just care if....this time...we will win 1/4. So maybe this group is good for us in this perspective. If we don't have to face Slovenia 🙂🙂 of course in 1/4 

Yes we are waiting for 1/4 :D

I’m glad Poland got a more challenging group this time around. Being in a weaker group didn’t help much the last few times, so I’m hoping this time it’s gonna be different

We will see if Brazil gets any better. From my point of view both our teams should play for 1st place and all 3 giants will qualify. Then it's this ranking then, first time. Strange pairs in 1/4 possible, unfair i mean. We have to wait and see, i preferred the old system. This one is better for rugby 7s and basketball, maybe even handball but doesnt suit volleyball tournament. 

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

Yep but it would help in old system, in this new one it's hard to tell.

At this point I'd prefer a format like the new football's Champions League. No groups, 3 pots of 4 teams and you play against a team from each pot, and a single ranking. Or they could have 4 pots of 3 teams, so 4 matches in the first round instead of 5 (old format) or 4 (new format). At least the quarter finals pairing would be less random.

 

Anyway, they wanted to avoid teams "choosing" their quarterfinals opponent in the last round but they gave a huge advantage to the 2 teams that play the very last match of the pool phase - they can potentially mix up the whole table at their liking with good calculations.

Could be better, could be worse :dunno:

 

All of Canada’s matches are at 12:00 PST. On the plus side, Canada’s first match against Slovenia (on July 28) starts right after Day 1 Finals in swimming (although unfortunately at the same time as France v. Canada in women’s football) and I’ll definitely be watching, but the second (France) and third (Serbia) matches will be much more difficult to watch (the August 3 one will be pretty much impossible with athletics/swimming afternoon/finals sessions, but I’m up for the challenge) with me requiring multiple devices on both days.

 

Not to mention like 90% of the Olympic schedule isn’t out yet :facepalm:

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
