  • Which incident do you mean :?:


    The fatal stabbing of Hugh Mccutcheon's father-in-law(Todd Bachman - father of USA women's Indoor player Elizabeth Bachman) while in Beijing just 2-3 days ago.

    "[size=8]It's years and years of work and sacrifice and dedication. Along with a lot of these girls, we've sweat and we've bled and we've cried together in past Olympics. It just brought tears to my eyes, & I'm more than thrilled. This will be forever." -LOGAN MAILE LEI TOM (Silver Medallist - 2008 Beijing & 2012 London Olympic Games, 2011 World Cup runner up, 2003 & 2007 World Cup 3rd place, 2002 World Champs runner up, 4-time World GrandPrix Champs)

  • Poland-Egypt 3-0 (25-21,25-18,25,10)


    what a boring game. both team didnt play well in the first set. Our Boys "wake up" after close first set.Swiderski was unstopable. Eyptians made too many unforced errors and that was the main reason of that high loose in 3rd set. overall it wasnt exiting game but im quit happy witch performance of Polich guys but our service is just horrible i m not sure if it will be enough for Russia or Brazil.


    Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to
    stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs
    you, that takes a lot of courage.

  • Plamen Konstantinov won't play in the OG

    Wild Wild West!

  • Brazil beat Serbia in 4 sets.


    Brazil couldn't count on Giba this match because he was having problems with his shoulder, so the coach decided not to let him play.


    Brazil 3 - 1 Serbia (25-27, 25-20, 25-17, 25-21)

  • So, Serbia has two defeats now. As well as Germany. These teams are in trouble, having difficult matches ahead. But after all Serbia should qualify along with Brazil, Russia and Poland.
    By the way - last matches in Beijing shows, that teams which played great in WL final, have real problems at OG (Serbia, USA).
