NaBUru38 204 Posted August 9, 2021 #162 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Mind that men's volleyball isn't exactly massively popular in France, where basketball and handball are more popular. De_Gambassi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyFenchel 106 Posted August 10, 2021 #163 Share Posted August 10, 2021 That was intense tournament. And surprising medallist. Does anybody predicted gold for France and bronze for Argentina? Ngapeth is MVP. Pretty obvious after he played alone against ROC. Poland is set as 5th - the best of the (quarterfinal)-losers. https://en.volleyballworld.com/volleyball/competitions/olympics-2020/standings/men/#round-f Spoiler 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Hmm… interesting. At previous Olympics all QF losers were placed tied as 5th – this time they differentiated between the teams. I assume that they take points scored in group and quarterfinals matches as ranking, but nowhere on FIVB page could I found any information about the procedure. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalgorka 1,369 Posted August 11, 2021 #164 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Great article in NYT on Wilfredo Leon It was published on August 2nd. There was no happy ending for our team in Tokyo but this thing is really worth reading https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/02/sports/olympics/wilfredo-leon-volleyball.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
