Women's World Grand Prix 2017

Queen Yeon Koung

Well, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. All the F4 teams will play in Grand Prix next year.

I think Czech Republic isnt included in those 16 teams. Maybe if they won, there could be trouble like with Slovenia in the World League.

Those weirdo Korean middle hit-tips are ugly but damn effective. I think each and every one of them has been a point.

Yeah ahaha I don't exactly get it, but somehow they make it work xD

Gotta love that ultra high ponytail of Lipmann

Congrats Korea for the Gold medal. KYK is just too good for this level.

Ah yes, that's correct. The original report counted the Czechs in, but I see now they have been replaced with the Dominicans since. It would really be hilarious if both male and female winners of Division II were left with nothing. It almost makes me want to root for the Czechs. I don't think they can pull it off, however.

Korea had no business playing the Div II this year.

Wuuuu!! What a beautiful come back! Congrats Korea and Queen Yeon Koung! German still having historical problems with the OH position... sorry for them

Felix asks courage in the time-out and Louisa tips against a single block

Different players, same problem: when the going gets tough, the opponents score their attacks and the Germans chicken out.

Germans could have come back there tbh very sad for them as they deserve Group I imo. I was almost rooting for them in the end.

I dont really like anyone in Korea except KYK and #6 serves. Setters keep tiring and forcing Kim at 12-7 while there is no need for that.

Germany has done a good tournment. So far, they have only lost 2 matches, and they were against the favourite of this Div II.
Let´s hope they take the bronze!

Korea shows they belong to Div I. They are a better team than some which are in the bottom of Div I. Of course, just when KYK is on

Germany is a very young team, I hope they learned something from today's game. Wonderfully fought by Lenka Dürr, she was stunning both in defense and passing, absolutely love her Lippmann indeed should have hit the ball in the tie-break rather than tipping, come on you are the best hitter of your team.


This match must have been the real final, although I expect a nice match from the Slavics tonight

Germany's coach is so hot.

Too bad for them though. South Korea has something on their sleeves while Germany kind of stayed level instead of upping the ante in the succeeding sets. Korea was just making mistakes and you cannot just be complacent after winning easy sets. I think that's the difference. You can never count out a strong opponent especially one that has a really good outside hitter.

I forgot to mention that Aneta Havličková joined the team and she will play in the finals

Poland starts with Polak in stead of Smarzek and Czech Republic without Havlickova, they start with Toufarova as OPP.

Polak instead of Smarzek and Grajber as second OH

I seriously wonder if Grajber really likes her hair that way

CZE overplaying POL thus far and obviously no chance to win for a team with Grajber-Polak duo

Polak is ok, the sets she gets from Wolosz are just horrible...she is the second best spiker at the moment behind Smarzek in Polish NT...Tomsia is completely out of shape and Grajber doesnt have anything to be in starting 6, she is only for receiving in backrow
