Even more - also INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT!

This World Champonship wemen under 23 years tries to return the 4 of 7 games in volleyball!

This is experimental and the purpose is to be played less minutes as games are up to 7,

but points wanted are not 25 but 15 ....

what do you think, which system is better - the old or the "experimental'?!

Spoiler

:smoke:

 I'm with experimental , if they return service as usual , because it's one of volleyball major skills that can't be modified , these new rules really help small countries to compete with big ones and make big results

IRAAAN :IRI Another victory in the Grand Champions Cup, this time against the United States. They have 2/2 wins and  still have to play against the weakest Japan so perhaps this is the tournament Iran will finally win a medal in :champion:

@VolleyRuller96 Ferdinando De Giorgi lost his work as coach of Polish men's national team. 

Not really surprising after the EC. Hopefully PZPS will hire a decent coach this time. I heard Mauro Berruto is looking for a job in NT...

I heard that for the first time since "x" years coach of this team will be any Polish coach... I don't like this idea at all, seeing what Polish coaches did with women's team.

Yes that would be a honestly terrible choice. Teams with polish coaches achieved weak results in last year plusliga, so I don't see any of the coaches taking over our team (and especially not Jacek Nawrocki). Maybe Sebastian Pawlik would be a decent assistant coach, seeing as he did great job with junior team, but I would not trust him with taking over senior team either.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
