I dont think she will play. In the finals of serbian league when her team Partizan faced Spartak Subotica she never even entered the court once and last by Provider"> game was played a week ago. Also, she isnt on the prel. roster for Serbian NT this summer because of her injury, based on that, it would be weird if she´s alright to play now already.

The roster on CEV:s website is just a preliminary one that contains 22 names and should not be confused with the official one that will be cut to 12 players. This list will likely appear soon, usually the day before the game starts.

thx

In the match against Poland thursday, Italy will play without several of the key players like Bonifacio, Nicoletti, Elisa Zanette and Ofelia Malinov.

The USA is pulling out of the JWCH, as the new September dates conflict with the NCAA season and we would not be able to field a team. This is a disappointment, as the USA is VERY strong in this age group with its top roster and IMO, would have been one of the favorites to win.

Puerto Rico, 11-19 September 2015

Unfortunately, USA will not participate.

Chinese U20 roster:
S - Sun Hai-ping, Rong Wan-qian-bai
OP - Gong Xiang-yu, Yang Yi
OH - Jin Ye, Du Qing-qing, Zhou Yi-xin
MB - Hu Ming-yuan, Zhang Qian, Wang Yuan-yuan
L - Meng Zi-xuan, Huang Jia-yi

PS: The roster of Winner of 2013 U18 WCH:
S - Sun Hai-ping, Gong Xiang-yu (Yes, the same person)
OP - Ju Wan-rong, Liu Meng-yao
OH - Wang Yun-lu, Lin Lin, Du Qing-qing
MB - Yuan Xin-yue, Hu Ming-yuan, Wang Yuan-yuan
L - Song Xin-yu, Huang Jia-yi

The roster of Winner of 2014 U19 ACH:
S - Sun Hai-ping, Rong Wan-qian-bai
OP - Gong Xiang-yu, Ju Wan-rong
OH - Lin Lin, Du Qing-qing, Jin Ye
MB - Zhang Qian, Hu Ming-yuan, Wang Yuan-yuan
L - Meng Zi-xuan, Huang Jia-yi

Wang Yun-lu is ready for Military World Games 2015.
Lin Lin can't leave Team Fujian for League 2015-2016.

Turkish U20 roster:

S - Arelya Karasoy - Cansu Özbay
OP - Yağmur Mislina Kılıç - Nazlı Alkan
OH - Hümay Topaloğlu - Ada Germen - Rida Erlalelitepe
MB - Su Zent - Zehra Güneş (1999) - Cemre Janset Erkul
L - Melis Yılmaz - Ayça Aykaç

The roster of U18 WCh - 2013 (9th place) :

S - Arelya Karasoy - Cansu Özbay
OP - Pelin Aroğuz
OH - Hümay Topaloğlu - Ada Germen - Rida Erlalelitepe - Merve Tanyel
MB - Hande Baladin - Su Zent - Merve Çepni
L - Melis Yılmaz - Ayça Aykaç

Most important missing players are Opp Pelin Aroğuz and MB Hande Baladin who has recently played as starter Opp in 2015 U23 WCh. Pelin was one of the most dominant Opp among her generation, however she won't be part of team since she started to study in USA while Hande is currently training with A team and will most probably participate to ECh unless Neslihan would recover on time.

This generation is not better than our golden generation (94-95) however there are still promising players. Both setters are pretty good players, both of them constantly played as starter in the teams in Turkish Super League, which is an important experience. However, Opps are not very interesting, Nazlı has played several matches in Beşiktaş while Mislina was in the roster of GS as a backup. 3 of our OHs has very similar level and all are the same type of player, short defensive OHs. Mislina can also play as OH, to me, playing with Mislina as offensive OH and Hümay as defensive OH with Nazlı as Opp would be best combination. Rida and Ada were backup players in Super League Clubs whereas Hümay played whole season as starter in Yeşilyurt and showed a decent performance, especially at reception and digging. For MBs, Hande was a great MB and I am not happy with her position change Su Zent is a short but a fast MB (like Aslı Kalaç from previous generation) Cemre Erkul is an average player. The most interesting MB is Zehra Güneş, who received second best MB award in 2015 U18 WCh a few weeks ago. Both of our liberos also good, Melis has played in Fenerbahçe whereas Ayça has played in Vakıfbank as 3rd libero.

All in all, I expect from this roster to reach a better place than 9th, indeed they would be able to receive even a medal if there was Hande and Pelin. On the other hand, most of other good players pf this generation from other teams alson not participating that's why Turkey still can reach semis

The championship will start today.

The missing players that currently playing in their senior NT are Yuan Xinyue, Tijana Boskoviç, Sarina Koga, Hande Baladin, Michaela Mlejnkova, Ofelia Malinov,

Following players are the promising ones of this generation, which we won't see since their teams couldn't manage to participate to this WCh (Indeed USA could have participate but they withdrew):

Mikalea Foecke, Tiata Scambray, Audriana Fitzmorris, Anthi Vasilantonaki, Olga Stranzali, Malwina Smarzek, Magdalena Damaske, Kornelia Moskwa, Sol Piccolo, Elina Rodriguez, Jiraporn Haymon, Nika Markoviç, Ela Pintar, Lana Scuka,

The players worth to watch are : Sun Haiping, Hu Mingyuan, Yanagita Mizuki (only 168 cm ), Mabashi Kaori, Leyva Angela, Frias Maguilaura, Rosa Valiente, Martinez sisters, Sara Lozo, Bojan Milenkoviç, Sara Aleksiç, Lorenne Geraldo, Laiza Ferreira, Costa Drussyla, Sara Bonifacio, Anna Nicoletti, Elisa Zanette, Ada Germen, Hümay Topaloğlu, Arelya Karasoy, Angelina Sperskaite, Anna Lazareva, Gergana Dimitrova and Zhana Todorova.

The top 10 teams of 2013 U18 WCh:

1-China
2-USA
3-Brazil
4-Peru
5-Japan
6-Serbia
7-Poland
8-Dominican Republic
9-Turkey
10-Italy

In the absence of USA and POL; remaining 8 teams will most probably reach quarterfinals. Although it depends on the matchups, medal contenders will be BRA, PER, TUR and ITA. Since CHN misses many key players and SRB lacks Boskoviç, I think they will be out of semis. I am curious about the performance of Martinez sisters as they joined to the team just a few days ago due to World Cup.

Yesterday results:

China x Mexico: 3:0
Peru x Serbia: 3:0
Brazil x Czech Republic 3:0
Italy x Chinese Taipei: 3:0
Bulgaria x Puerto Rico: 3:1
Russia x Cuba: 3:0
Japan x Egypt: 3:0
Dominican Republic x Turkey: 3:0

Bulgaria U20 plays with this team :

S - Mirela Shahpazova - Polina Neykova
OP - Simona Nikolova
OH - Gergana Dimitrova(captain) - Miroslava Paskova - Vangelia Rachkovska- Kristiana Petrova
MB - Elitsa Barakova - Radostina Marinova - Iveta Stanchulova
L - Zhana Todorova - Slavena Nikova

Good luck, girls ! I think that this team has qualities and good chanse to become a medalist.
