The fact that the 13th (alternate) athlete will only be able to compete if another athlete gets injured is so stupid. All the pre-Olympic training with your team, only to most likely not get a chance to compete. For most major international volleyball events the roster size is 14 (all playing) but of course the Olympics has to be different. :facepalm:

look at Waterpolo, the same Fencing (which is even more hypocrite, because the reserve is always with the team, also during the competition, ready to come in if needed -even for merely tactical decision- but then, once he/she's in they can't change anymore)

 

IOC are just a buch of idiots, trying to ruin the sport as much as they can in the name of their stupid "agenda" :facepalm: :bones:

Good, I hope for surfing in Tahiti, skateboarding in Guadeloupe, breakdancing in French Guiana...so we can forget that they're part of the Olympics.

aren't you trolling enough with the OG cancellation that will never happen?

 

do you really hope the entire world being destroyed and humanity being extinct?

 

c'mon! someone stop this idiot, please! :wall:

Just read it for what it is: a bit of provoking, who cares :p 

 

Curious what's the 2026 thing going to be!

The problem is the team size is small, not so much that they add one extra athlete. Basically: things are wrong with this, but 'there will be an AP athlete' isn't the main one :p

Out of the gazillion issues with the IOC, the roster sizes of the team sports is amongst the least problematic in my view. :p 12 in volleyball is perfectly fine, give me more individual quotas in 15 other sports.

Or maybe the IOC could be a little less militant about the athlete quota overall and cut costs elsewhere.

Don't worry for your women's volleyball team, they will qualify in the end. Dutch volleyball women are masters in screwing up qualifications for the Games. Besides that, Canada simply has a better team with a few exceptional players, while the Dutch team no longer has any real stars like Sloetjes, De Kruijff or Flier.

 

Speaking of The Netherlands, already 142 quota! Depends on handball, football and volleyball women if we exceed the number of 200 athletes.

I do agree that Canada has a better team, but only by a little bit IMO. However, I’m not so confident that they’ll eventually qualify for Paris. That being said, I’ve been following Canadian athletes club season stats (even managing to watch some of the games) and they are certainly doing better than last year.
 

Brie King (Sesc RJ Flamengo) was one of the top setters in Brazil last year, and from what I’ve been seeing it only looks like she’s been getting better.

 

Andrea Mitrovic (Grot Budowlani Łódź) has been MVP in Tauron Liga (Polish League) a bunch, so has Hillary Howe (Radomka Radom), but Mitrovic seems to be a more reliable passing option.

 

In the Sultanlar Ligi, we have Emily Maglio (Beşiktaş), who is continuing with her form that saw her as the top blocker at the Olympic Qualifier, currently averaging 0.77 blocks per set (6th overall) and 2.84 pts per set.

We also have Kiera Van Ryk (Türk Hava Yolları), the Canadian I’ve probably been the most impressed with this season, she’s second in the Sultanlar Ligi (Turkish League) in points per set (5.83) ahead of big names like Tijana Boskovic (5.78) and Magdalena Stysiak (5.24) :yikes:

      Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything

      Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on

      The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.

      Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
