It's to avoid conflict with the World Aquatics Championships, especially among the other disciplines since they act as the continental qualifier to the Olympics. Still would it be the end of the world if athletics was on the first week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinipereira 3,054 Posted January 30, 2019 Author #218 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Volleyball qualifiers for the Olympics will happen at the same time of the Pan American Games, so we can expect a subpar competition (more than usual) with many B/C teams - I wouldn't even be surprised if Brazil and other nations send some kind of youth team. Nice opportunity for Peru to try a gold medal here (Women's)? intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
