But why this is suprise? I don't think this is surprise at all. Kim si so far in top 3 best player in the world.

Well in my opinion it was a surprise, cause :NED typically plays better as a team, where South Korea has some individualities, and the results have also been in favor of Netherlands - 13place at World Championship where Korea didn't even qualify, then second place at European Championship... even the bookmakers didn't really give South Korea a chance of winning ( the odds for Korea were about 7.00, and for Netherlands about 1.10 ) let alone 3-0, so for me it is maybe not something unbelievable, but really unexpected ;)

This proves that was the worst idea in history make the Intercontinental Qualifying Tournament separate of World Qualifying Tournament.

FIVB still would have two possible excuses: 1) He wasnt really part of the team, because he didnt play. He didnt have any impact on the game. 2) Meldonium became illegal at the end of 2015.

After EQT I sad that there is possibility that Italy or Netherlands can be without OG, but some users from this forum said that is not possible. I said that South Korea is not a team to be underestimated, same for Thailand.

Well, teams on a very close level participate here, so anything is possible. To be honest because of many reasons i didn't really have the time to watch  womens EQT ( that's part of why i am now trying to catch as much women's games as possible ) besides Polish matches and the final, so I don't really know how the Dutch/Italian players performed there, but I really wouldn't be surprised if  at least one of them wouldn't manage to qualify, as especially the Asian teams play on really high level  here, so i Too think Thailand / Korea can be a very dangerous opponents to everyone and qualify to RIO. And Asian teams are typically good at women's volley ( China, Japan, Thailand, Korea are all really good )

 

TBH right now I think it will be Netherlands who has more chances of failing to qualify then Italy, not only because of today's match but also because some parts of their match vs Kazakhstan and the set they lose there proved something might not be right with that team

No surprises - Japan wins 3:0. Kazakhstan had its moments at the beginning of second set, but outside of that definitely weaker team, probably the weakest at this tournament.

Japan just lost their first set here against Korea. If they'd lose the match, only Italy would have 3 victories in 3 matches and secure their first place so far. Korea and Japan both could be 2/3rd, depending on set difference, and Netherlands would be fourth. Thailand would be in a very difficult situatio n before tommorow's match, as they will be the only team left with 3 points, so tommorows ultra hard game against Japan could decide if they will still fight for a berth to RIO. Kazskhstan and Dominican Rep. both have 0 points and  basically  are already eliminated.

      I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.

      Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport

      Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
