Not a great schedule for :NED . Two 09:00 AM games and I would've preferred :ITA or :TUR as final opponent. Now if we lose both of our first two games, it'll likely already be over before we face :DOM and there is little meaning to potentially our only winnable game.

:NED team was announced this week:

Celeste Plak
Jolien Knollema
Juliet Lohuis
Sarah van Aalen
Anne Buijs
Britt Bongaerts
Indy Baijens 
Marrit Jasper
Nika Daalderop
Eline Timmerman
Florien Reesink
Elles Dambrink
Nova Marring (reserve)

 

Only two players remaining from the 2016 Olympic squad: Celeste Plak and Anne Buijs. Technically there is a third, because former setter Laura Dijkema is joining the coaching staff.

 

Nova Marring as a reserve is a surprise to me, I would've expected her over Knollema or Plak (Buijs can also play her position I believe). She is one of the highlights of the new generation. What do you think @CCB @AsensioWillemsen?

    • What I'd give simply for the world juniors and such to even be back at Eurosport...those were the days  
    • it's not difficult when you have such a strict policy to enter or leave the country. Or when you have a dictator that can mask number as he wish, if he can convince their people that a highly censored and restrictive land can host a competition like the Olympic Games, i'm sure he can convince no covid case was detected.   One fun fact is that their guards and border control officers were very serious and strict with people from other nationalities when entering the country, but with us it was very different, they would look at our passport with serious face, look at the country, look at us, start smiling and say "Portugal?? Cristiano Ronaldo!!!!"   This behaviour happened in every single checkpoint in every single Central Asia land. It's like a vip pass in this area of the world   
    • I still remember watching the World Junior Championships in Moncton when ES was hyping her unbeaten streak of 100+ races or whatever the number was and she promptly came 2nd in 200m
    • After four weekends of winter sports, we are slowly entering the middle of the winter season . And, as usual, it's time for statistics that I don't know which theared to put in      After 29 events, 20 different NOCs was already on the podium. After several seasons, Uzbekistan is also back on the podium thanks to figure skating (and two former Russians).   This weekend will be all about ice sports, with a total of 13 events: 4 in figure skating (first stage in Europe) and 9 in short track (second stage in Montreal, since SLC was cancelled)
    • World Boxing approved seven new applications from the National Federations in Andorra, Belgium, Iraq, Lithuania, Madagascar, Kyrgyzstan and Thailand. 
    • Out of curiosity, I listened to a few podcasts about Turkmenistan today. This country has very large deposits of natural gas. In the 1990s, a simple a ordinary people lived quite well there. In the early 21st century, Turkmenistan signed several unfavorable gas deals with China and has practically gone bankrupt since then. 1/3 of the population (about 2 million out of 6 million- mostly young people) emigrated, mainly to Turkey, India, etc. The future of this country is blacka and uncertain. I don't know what other options they have? Russia, Turkey, the EU? Of course, in terms of selling gas. Perhaps sanctions of Russia's and isolation due to the war in Ukraine would be a chance for Turkmenistan to establish economic relations with the EU, but the new president would probably have to loosen and a little liberate up his country's domestic politics.
    • A friend of mine who visited 97 countries of the world be in Turkmenistan (with Kunshamara, are the onlyones i know) and he tell me something that never see in another country: his presence was enough to make nervous to all the people, in restaurants, markets, etc, the presence of an "outsider" generate that.
