Olympic Games - 2016 | 8 | 6

Barring injuries, Serbian squad will certainly be selected among those who played in Macau/Kyoto.
Honestly, I think the only issue is which libero will be selected.

Quote from kondzio

don't guess what's with Cameroon, don't know those players...

1 Stephanie Fotso Mogoum CAM MB
2 Christelle Tchoudjang Nana C CAM OP
3 Jacqueline Ntozi Mpgenga CAM OP
4 Raissa Nasser CAM L
5 Theorine Christelle Aboa Mbeza CAM MB
6 Laetitia Crescence Moma Bassoko CAM OH
7 Henriette Nadege Koulla CAM S
8 Raissa Tatiana Baran A Bissene CAM S
9 Marthe Linda Aboa Essama CAM L
10 Berthrade Simone Flore Bikatal CAM OH
11 Victorine Pauline L'or Ngon Ntame CAM MB
12 Abdoulkarim Fawziya CAM OH
13 Bodo Essissima Madeleine Samantha CAM OH
14 Yolande Juliana Amana Guigolo CAM S
15 Emelda Piata Zessi CAM MB
16 Ruth Manuela Marie Bibinbe CAM OH

It appears that only 5 players play outside of Cameroon. Mogoum, Nana, Fawziya (all 3 with VBC Chamalierois), Nasser (France National 2D), Bassoko and Koulla

Bonitta invited 15 players to NT training camp for OG preparations:

S: Ofelia Malinov, Alessia Orro, Eleonora Lo Bianco
OPP: Valentina Diouf, Nadia Centoni
OH: Serena Ortolani, Antonella Del Core, Alessia Gennari (from 8 July), Miriam Sylla, Paola Egonu
MB: Martina Guiggi, Anna Danesi, Cristina Chirichella
L: Ilaria Spirito, Monica De Gennaro

I assume that one setter, one L (for sure Spirito unless he wants to use her as backrow sub) and one OH/OPP will be cut. If Gennari doesn't recover in time one decision is already clear.

Laetitia Moma Bassoko play in France to : Calais , Elite A2

does Orro recover herself ? otherwise the two setters seem clear also.

Yes, seems Orro is recovered already.

OG preparations in Bar:

S: Ognjenović, Živković, Radenković
OPP: Bošković, Brakočević, Malagurski
MB: Rašić, Stevanović, Veljković, Popović
L: Ćebić, Popović
OH: Mihajlović, Malešević, Nikolić, Buša

Someone posted before but I forgot, when is the freindly vs South Korea? and which day Serbia travels to Rio?

They'll be going to Rio on July 26 and practice with the Brazilians until the start of the Olympics. I don't think they'll be playing a friendly against South Korea, if that's what you meant. I believe the Dutch are.

so Djerisilo is out eventually and it's right move so 1 S, 1 OP, 1 MB and 1 OH or 1 L will be cut

Oh Okkk... Yeah because someone really posted that they were gonna play with South Korea and when they go to Rio they would be practing together with Russia.... but if they will play with NED and practice with Brazil that is even better.

The idea of bringing 3 setters is just weird to me. Plus, cutting Fawcett is a bad decision. Trust me, Lowe will crack under pressure, as well as Murphy. I don't think the US will get to the final this time.

USA Final 12 roster for Rio

We should rather call it "USA 11 plus team mascot". As long as nobody gets hurt Thompson's presence won't be a problem (and if one of the other setters gets hurt it's actually good to have her there), but it's risky to take her.

Three setters and one libero

Three setters and one libero

3 S and 3 OHs... so Easy is not ready unfortunately, Karch wanted to take cheerleader

I'm afraid if Marichev got motivated by Kiraly's idea and would take 3 setters too
No Olympics for Fawcett, Dixon and Gibbemeyer...I feel sorry for them, they must have been working their ass off.

After today's beating by Brazil, I don't think so. I hope Marichev surprises us and brings an actual 4th OH (*cough* Pasynkova *cough*).

She's not even in Russia's wide roster for OG.

I feel sorry for Dixon the most. If only that ACL injury didn't happened. And Fawcett Both Murphy and Lowe are inconsistent. And Karch is really bringing 3 setters
