YES! ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle defeat Zenit Kazan in second match in semifinal of Champions League with winning golden set and makes the final, it's first time since 2014/2015 season that any Polish club makes the final there! :clap: Itas Trentino will be final opponent.

Almost a month is left before the start of the Nations League and we still don't have the schedule. :coffee:  It's a round-robin, all 16 teams are known, it's going to be in one location, what are these people waiting for? A computer can make the draw for 5 minutes..

Chinese women’s team will attend as scheduled. So the withdrawal of men’s team is more “financial”.  They may literally lose funding from federation due to bad performance.

Meanwhile in womens Champions League Conegliano wins 3-2 over Vakifbank. I'm glad that Italian team win here as Polish player Joanna Wołosz is among their players :d

I watched the womens final yesterday, a really close and exciting game! Wolosz really is one of the best setters in the world right now.

 

And I'm also happy Conegliano won, with Dutch player Robin de Kruijf

Just passing here to mention the new absolute NR of :SVK volleyball.

 

Our Womens National Team somehow jumped into the 25th place in the world FIVB ranking. Nothing mega impressive or noteworthy you may say, however it is the highest rank of any SVK volleyball NT ever mens or women.

 

Until now the NR was the Mens 26th place in January 2012 & August 2017. So a bit worth to be mentioned for the girls, btw both our teams managed to qualify for the EURO this year, the W team by winning all matches and losing only 1 single set.

    • 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.
