Someone had the bright idea to accommodate Poland and Iran on the same floor, in the same corridor at the hotel and their seem to already be tension between them, even before the VNL has started. :d

nope. this is just Heynen acting like "Heynen", there is nothing unusual about that (who cares which team is in the same floor) unless Heynen creates a story. what a disgusting human he is.:thumbdown:

Well, tournament is almost over and there was exactly 0 posts during almost entire competition! 

 

So far :POL wins 12 matches out of 14, we lost only against :BRA and :SLO. Today we beat :IRI 3-0 and tomorrow we will play against :FRA, but even before this match it's sure that we will play in "Final Four". 

 

Shortly after this tournament our team for Olympics will be announced.

Congrats to Brazil for winning this year's VNL!
This was to be expected bc in my opinion they were the ones who took the tournament the most seriously and were in good form until the end. I'm curious to see if they will keep it up till the Olympics tho.


As for the VNL itself - it was still the same big training camp like the previous editions. The individual awards made me laugh, some of the sanitary regulations were just stupid and unnecessary, but after all it was still fun to watch national teams after such a long break.

Yeah, i have to agree that this years VNL was a complete waste. The lack of interest and replies here just shows it. 

 

This whole new system feels so broken. With every year, since they'd changed it, the interest is shrinking. And the schedule is brutal for the players. Our team said, that after the first 7-8 matches, we caught a few injuries and after that only 9-10 people had to finish the league. They were getting so tired by the end, that everyone just wished it was finally over with.

    • How wonderful!   I met the national rowing (and beach rowing) coach of EST/LTU/LAT on the way to ice hockey one day, who's Canadian by the way. I also flew home on the same flight as JC Schoonmaker's mom and friends, so we chatted for a bit.
    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
