The last three world championship medalists in the same group.  :pope:

You’re all going to get through to the quarterfinals either way though, because you have :EGY in your group :dunno:

 

Now, I wouldn’t underestimate them (played really well at the Olympic Qualifiers), but they’re by far the weakest team in the tournament. 
 

As far as :CAN goes, glad we didn’t get:POL:ITA:GER but unfortunately we drew the second toughest teams (from my/Canada’s perspective) in all groups, so not much of an improvement :facepalm:

 

I would’ve been fine any one of Japan, Brazil, US, Argentina, or Egypt, but instead we get none.

Egypt always sucks at Olympics in Volleyball , we are always the weakest team except one in Rio where we defeated Cuba , they will make us a shish kabab for sure :d

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.

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.

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 

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

    • Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.
    • Do you have or have you ever had an modern ice track?
    • Still no progress in the Italian team: 2x 4th place in men's singles and women's doubles+ a fall in the team relay. Men's doubles and women's singles without any progress for years. What's worse, our women's doubles also significantly lowered their level: without a single podium in the World Cup in this season. As of today, I'm betting on 0 medals in Cortina for us, excluding some miracles on the home track.
    • There is some progress at Barp and Carollo but almost everything is still based on Pellegrino. In the men's we lost a great talent - de Fabiani and Davide Graz - they are at an age where we have a generation gap in these age groups: 1994-2000. In the women's I`m happy with Monsorno's progress in sprints but the last podium WC in the women's category was in... 2011. We wasted 15 years in the women's category and now we are only waking up with 1 year to go until the games in Cortina, when we should have a ready team like Germany (I will skip Scandinavia because of its completely different potential).
    • Italy doesn't exist in women's technical competitions without from Brignone and Goggia - both over 30 age. Unfortunately Bassino has been out of good shipe since from last season in the giant slalom and she is unrecognizable in some competitions. In the case of Goggia I also don't really believe in regular podiums in the giant slalom - she can't have falls and win in the downhill and super-G. The giant slalom is just a bonus.   The Italian women's slalom has basically been non-existent for many years. One Peterlini qualifies for the 30 and doesn't finish half of the competitions. I can't understand how it was possible to lose Colturi in a situation where other Italians have fallen so badly. Unfortunately it's not the Italian federation that should be setting the conditions here but it's Colturi and her mother - a talent on par with Shiffrin at her age. 
    • In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier
