Netherlands on top of the pool, but they already played against the weakest opponents in this competition. Hopefully the Dutch team can improve and will qualify for the Final Six.

Very weak performance for Dutch judo. In the past we won at least 5 medals at the Europeans, but this time only 2 bronze medals and 1 title. Why didn't they organise a mixed-teamevent in Tel Aviv?

Volgens mijn profiel sinds oktober 2016, maar in de praktijk sinds deze week Weinig Nederlandse Olympische fanatiekelingen?! Na terugkomst uit Pyeongchang is bij mij de focus volledig overgegaan op Tokyo 2020. Ben een intensief volger van alle Olympische sporten, al moet ik eerlijk bekennen nog niet thuis te zijn in karate, golfsurfen, schieten voor mix-teams en skateboarden ('Het lijkt de kermis wel'). Aangenaam

Seriously? Wow, we still have to wait a long time then.

Does anybody already has a detailed (time)schedule of Tokyo 2020?

Ondanks alle sportsuccessen van Nederland toch zo rustig op dit onderdeel van het forum!

Ah! I somewhere read that Israel was a representative of Africa. But if they played in the European qualification, it would really surprise me if Israel can play in the OQT for Africa. Thanks for this information!

Israel will represent Africa. They are by far the best team in Africa, so Israel will play with the top 5 of Europe for 1 Olympic spot.

Don't forget Israel. I think Israel will be the favourite for the European/African spot (men).

Netherlands and Hungary played twice this week. 18-19 and 22-23. That means that Hungary will win the Qualification-poule because of the away-scored goals in second match? Netherlands is in pot 3 for the European Championships and will definitely draw a tough poule.

I will go to Pyeongchang too! Quite easy to buy some tickets, because it seems no one else goes to Korea. A lot of speedskating, but also shorttrack, curling, figure skating, alpine skiing, snowboard and ... thank God ... BIATHLON!! Just bought two tickets for the 10KM sprint men.

Poule A - Japan, Netherlands, Dominican Rep, Germany, Cameroon, Cuba Poule B - China, Italy, Korea, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico Poule C - USA, Russia, Argentina, Thailand, Kazachstan, Kenya Poule D - Serbia, Brazil, Turkey, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Trinidad According to the Russian Volleyball Federation. Poule A, B and C quite similar, poule D group of death!

I think the top 12 teams will be seeded by the serpentine system (with Japan #1), but I'm not sure of that.
