That was intense tournament. And surprising medallist. Does anybody predicted gold for France and bronze for Argentina? 

 

 

Ngapeth is MVP. Pretty obvious after he played alone against ROC. ;)

 

 

Poland is set as 5th - the best of the (quarterfinal)-losers.  :thumbup:

Hmm… interesting. :coffee: At previous Olympics all QF losers were placed tied as 5th – this time they differentiated between the teams. I assume that they take points scored in group and quarterfinals matches as ranking, but nowhere on FIVB page could I found any information about the procedure.

Great article in NYT on Wilfredo Leon 

 

It was published on August 2nd. There was no happy ending for our team in Tokyo but this thing is really worth reading
