Classic seeding BS case, everyone wants to be in the host Japan's group. It will look even more ridiculous in the men's tournament.

Pools officially confirmed by CEV : https://www.cev.eu/News.aspx?NewsID=28306&ID=5 Poland replaced Cuba.   "The FIVB will announce the respective organisers later this month".

Turkey is at least better than Argentina and could upset any of the other teams on a good day (except maybe China). In group A, I wouldn't discard Dominican Republic so easily. I would say only Serbia

Such an fivb only bs.   Who seeds the home team first in a 12 team field?? Especially in the mens tournament where Japan never got to anything special.   Does someone remember If same bs happened in London 2012?

London OG was the first time FIVB used the serpentine system. Back then two highest men seeds (Brazil, Russia) were in the same group with #3 (Italy) & #4 (Poland) were in the GBR group. Same in the women's (USA, Brazil together while Japan & Italy in the GBR group). The last non-serpentine global volleyball tournaments were the 2010 World Championships (both men & women).

Serpentine system is fine.  Just dont rank the host as number 1.  Rank them where they should be ranked.     Rugby sevens uses serpentine system. But the host is ranked at its correct place

With serpentine system without ranking Japan number 1 the only changes in group B would be Serbia instead of China (no big difference, they are the 2 strongest teams) and Japan instead of Russia (again no big difference, currently Russia is not better than Japan playing at home)

Rugby is even more shallow when it comes to teams than volleyball. And the host team will always get a bonus in the Olympic tournament. Japan's women team is actually quite good, obviously the men's team is much worse but FIVB wants to pamper the hosts and this is the way going forward. Poland and Italy will be in Japan's men group together with Canada, Venezuela & Iran if the serpentine holds up. USA, Brazil, Russia, France, Argentina & Tunisia will be in the other group.

We are gonna watch really good matches

Usa Brasil China Serbia Italy Turkey and Japan will fight for the medals. Russia is weaker than those. Japan is at home. But Usa Brazil China Serbia Italy Turkey will fight well. Im impatient to see these matches. 

Group B is like a death pool. We will see.

I can't estimate which one will be champion. There will be surprised in ranking in my opinion .

The pools are officially finalized for Tokyo 2020

 

POOL A: :JPN :SRB :BRA :KOR :DOM :KEN

POOL B: :CHN :RUS :USA :ITA :ARG :TUR

 

 

Pool B is definitely stronger. I could see every team but Turkey going through. Pool A should have 4 easy qualifiers with Japan, Serbia, Brazil and Korea.

Don't be offended but your take is bad :d

 

Our team has literally no chance. Winning even a set would be an achievement. Turkey and Russia will fight for 4th place there.

 

In the other pool DR is at least equal to Korea and maybe Japan as well (though I think they will rise their level for this tournament). Serbia will win the pool easily and Brazil should be 2nd.

      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).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      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.
