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.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
