Men's Volleyball CEV European Championship 2017


Recommended Posts

Konstantinov announced our roster today. Only 2 changes from the League, one of which is the return of captain Todor Aleksiev, though for me, it is going to be largely for support and experience, rather than form. We have all the current best available, so going for a medal should be the goal, but i think it is time that a final is reached, no matter how hard it may seem. We lost the golden chance 2 years ago, so it is time for a correction! :bones:

 

Setters -> Georgi Bratoev,  Georgi Seganov

Receivers -> Todor Skrimov, Todor Aleksiev, Nikolay Penchev, Rozalin Penchev

Spikers -> Tsvetan Sokolov, Velizar Chernokozhev

Middle Blockers -> Viktor Yosifov, Nikolay Nikolov, Teodor Todorov, Svetoslav Gotsev

Liberos -> Teodor Salparov, Vladislav Ivanov

France-Italy are the favorites

 

Italy won't play their best team here, I don't see them challenging any top position.

 

Winner will be France or Serbia, maybe Russia could win too if they have a good week. Poland I feel will dissapoint. Germany with Grozer comeback is a nice bet for dark horse.

Yeah, our team is a disaster :p And Zaytsev doesn't deserve the national team.. you can't whitdraw for a sponsorship reason... It's the national team, not your club!

So serbia officially without Marko Ivović :( that is certainly an upset for the competition level... at the other hand, Gyorgy Grozer announced his return to German NT :clap:

Historic night for European Volleyball coming up in Warsaw!

 

National%20Stadium%20Warsaw%20Poland.jpgWarsaw, Poland, August 22, 2017. It is going to be the experience of a lifetime – the Opening Ceremony and Opening Match of LOTTO EUROVOLLEY POLAND 2017 coming up on Thursday night, August 24 at 20:00 CET featuring hosts Poland and Serbia at PGE National Stadium in Warsaw will gather 65,000 fans to set an all-time record of attendance in European Volleyball! On top of this, Volleyball fans from across the world will be able to watch the highlights of the Opening Ceremony and this historic match on TV – and via the official CEV YouTube channel and CEV EuroVolley Facebook page for those countries where no broadcasting is planned. Make sure you spread the word and you will follow the ‘ultimate Volleyball experience’!

 

 


The Opening Match of this year’s EuroVolley will be a ‘remake’ of the match Poland and Serbia played in 2014 – on another historic night for Volleyball, when the Red-and-Whites beat Serbia 3-0 to start their triumphal march towards conquering the gold medal of the 2014 FIVB Volleyball World Championship.

Poland’s roster has undergone quite many changes since that night but it is actually more about the experience of a lifetime than about the Volleyball match in itself, which fans have to look forward to and prepare to witness!

    • 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.
