[VolleyRuller96 264]

We now know 7 of the 8 teams that will participate in the Asian Qualifying Tournament:

 

Australia 

China
Chinese Taipei

India
Iran
Pakistan

South Korea

 

The 8th contender will most likely be revealed on the 20th of September, as the Asian Championships will finish.

I don't understand the need for these Olympic qualifiers. It would be better to use exiting tournaments, like the continental championships or games.

The FIVB needs to have 30 tournaments each year, it would not miss this opportunity.

European Qualifier

 

Group A:

 

 

Group B:

 

 

Germany composed a quite easy group for themselves. 

Group B is much stronger in my opinion.

Germany didn't compose anything. The Groups are seeded by ranking. It's just that Germany as host is seeded first. Your women will, too.

Ok, two teams from each group qualify for 1/2 final and then we have 1A-2B, 2A-1B?

But there's a difference, our women are the highest ranked team indeed. Germany is just 7th of the 8 teams.

 

3-4-7-8 and 1-2-5-6: I think it's a strange composotion, but fair enough, Germany didn't compose anything, it's just the stupid FIVB/CEV-rules and lucky Germany.

Frankly, I don't think it really changes anything. Only the winner qualifies. If Germany wants to qualify for Tokyo, they have to defeat the teams from Group B as well, sooner or later. It's not a European Championships, where reaching the semis gives you a chance for a medal.
