: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?

I would have preferred Marring over Buijs personally. Although I'm afraid we won't qualify for the KO phase anyway.

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.

From a television perspective I don't mind 9 AM games, but being the first to play in the final round is also a big issue.

Group C done dirty with 5 matches at 9 am. The other two groups haven't got any matches this early.

No. Group C ate my dog at 8:34am on Sunday. They scared my children and that was stressful, seeming as though I am a single mother-father of 13.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
