    Last champion Serbia, bronze medalist Russia and semi-finalist Bulgaria has already been qualified thanks to ranking of previous Junior Championship. On the other hand, the biggest surprise of qualification tournaments is elimination of last finalist France :what: In second round they are defeated by Spain and in third round, although they win over Finland since they lost match with Ukraine 3-0, last youth championship's finalist France couldn't manage to qualify same generation of junior championship.


    Spain,Greece, Belgium and Turkey got the first place of their group in second round.


    Poland qualified as host with Denmark


    Germany and Finland qualified from third round with Italy.


    All in all, after two years, France and Ukraine is out of competition whereas Denmark and Italy are new comers. We will see how much do these teams develop after championship from youth level to junior 8)


    You are mixing up junior and youth championships. Russia, Bulgaria and Serbia were 1st, 2nd and 3rd in 2010 and were automatically qualified for this year's event. France finished between 9-12 so they had to play qualies

    Don't you worry, don't you worry child. See heaven's got a plan for you

    Edited once, last by rugby ().

    Nope, in this generation French played final when they were youth. Now They are junior level and even didn't qualify to finals :whistle: Player who finished 9-12 has already in their senior year so comparing with last year's youth and this year's junior makes more sense since the same players are playing :roll:

    Doh :aww: I thought you were wondering why France are not automatically qualified like Rusia, Bulgaria and Serbia. Sorry, my bad

    No worries :) Do you have any idea about Bulgarian roster, did they change it since youth championship?

    The team is more or less the same. The only big problem is that the regular libero is injured and the coach is trying different options there.

    Quote from Kaziyski

    Just found out that Jacek Nawrocki is Polish head coach for upcoming Junior ECH :rolll:

    What a nice surprise, isn't it? :D I was laughing as well when I found out he's a coach of our young NT.
