Beach volleyball strikes a blow for Human Rights!

 

Beach volleyball stars will be allowed to wear bikinis on court during a tournament in Qatar next month, the sport's governing body said after a pair of German players vowed to boycott the event.

Meanwhile yesterday in Doha first 4* tournament (very important for Olympic ranking) in this season started. Already we had some interesting results and scores, for example in match between :BRA Agatha/Duda against :NED Keizer/Meppelink in 1/16 finals in first set we had result 35-33 for the Brazilians, in the end Agatha/Duda wins the match 2-1.

The entire Doha tournament is streamed live on youtube (Beach Volleyball World). I was watching some parts while working from home. Including that tense :BRAv:NED match. Both teams lost multiple match points in the 3rd set as well.

And just 1 week after the Olympic Games in Tokyo,the next host country, :FRA already has a big disappointment in this sport. Now the European Championship is being held in Vienna and 2 pairs(one from each gender) are participating there from France.The women's pair could not pass from the group, the men's pair was eliminated in the 1/24 finals.I am very disappointed after this event, because now France has a good Brazilian coach and I thought that our pairs would reach at least the 1/8 finals...

 

The qualification system is not yet known, but I have huge doubts that France will receive host country quotas.

Don't you think that's a slight overstatement :rolleyes: The men's team was beaten by teams ranked 1 and 4 at the olympics and the women, well, they're are not ranked 62th in the world for no reason

Olympics is normally two teams from top-level countries, so I’m sure they’ll take France over Angola or whatever.  We got places in London although we are in there with :ISL & :MKD in any form of Volleyball.

:SUI Betchart/Huberli are the new european champions with a 2-0 win over :NED Stam/Schoon. The swiss team had previously saved two match points in their semifinal against :GER Borger/Sude, to advance to the final. The german team took bronze with 2-1 win over 2019 european champions :LAT Kravcenoka/Graudina, after coming from a set down.

The title remains in Switzerland, :SUI Heidrich/Verge-Depre had won last year in Jurmala, but they didn't play this year after winning their olympic bronze. In Tokyo, they were the team to stop :SUI Betchart/Huberli in the round of 16. 

 

Tomorrow, men's semifinals and medal matches will be contested. :NOR Mol/Sorum are the defending champions having won three times in a row in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Semifinals are :NOR Mol/Sorum-:NED Brouwer/Meeuwsen and :POL Kantor/Losiak-:NEDBoermans/de Groot. That means :NED the Netherlands are guaranteed at least one medal. Semifinals are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, medal matches will follow in the evening.

    • 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
