    Quote from pappi

    what do you mean official? if you say FIVB news will be the official names, then i seldom get information from there...


    but i seldom give wrong information here as well...


    actually korea has decide the roster very early in April, pls refer to http://www.kva.or.kr/korean/viewtopic.php?t=90379


    I understand.
    I thought that other teams would send more than 12 players like Russia NT.
    I have the same information of Cuba and Peru, but no from the rest.

    So there's a chance she can play? THAT is the right attitude! Not like certain other stars :whistle:


    Her intention is to play for sure, but right now, nobady knows if it actually will happen. I agree, her fighting spirit with this is very impressive!

    the rest teams attending the tournament brings 12 players, apart from Russia with "14 + 1".

    i may not be the tallest,
    the fastest, or the strongest,
    but at least i can do one thing better than anyone else,
    to be me...

    Sokolova also skipped WGP and ECh, and both of those tournaments were very important in terms of qualifying to the Olympics. Now she's skipping the WQT. Basically, Sokolova has missed the whole Olympic qualifying process. If Russia does qualify in the end, Sokolova will have had contributed to that at all.


    It's fine if she's tired after all those year of playing on NT, but she should say it in advance and just make up her mind already. Her drama-queening has got old a long time ago.

    That's exactly what I mean. She says she wants Olympic Gold, but she doesn't really seem ready to sacrifice anything to it. I don't like this attitude of "let the others do the qualifying work, I'll just play the big thing" :thumbdown:


    I remember, many years ago in Italy, Anna Mello wanted to take a rest in 2003 and not play ECH, so Bonitta said if she doesn't play ECH she won't play Olympics and that's what happened eventually. What I want to say is that Sokolova surely is a great player and without her Russia wouldn't have won the last two WCH, but it's no good attitude to choose all the time when you want to play and when not.

    Maybe after know the teams that are participating, she's absolutely sure Russia will qualify to Olympic Games.

    Quote from bobaas

    Did Ai Otomo divorce with Mr. Yamamoto? Now she is listed everywhere as Otomo and in previous years there was Yamamoto.


    yes, she officially released the divorce statement in the middle of March, 2012. besides, Ai won the custody of her 5 year old daughter.
    therefore, she renewed her Maiden name of Otomo.

    its not fair to continually expect Sokolova to do something for the NT.She is 35 year-old and they couldnt depend on Sokolova forever.They should respect Sokolova if she doesnt want to be invited to the Nt anymore.BUT its also not fair if Sokolova join the team and go to LOndon after Russia qualify..

    Quote from akiyaLai


    I'm sorry that I cannot find any information about why Shih Ting Chen is not in roster
    In Taiwan, not many people pay attention to international volleyball, there are few volleyball news
    There is no protection job for them, so they have to think about their future after study...
    As you can see in roster, most of our players are study in college. Because after college, the environment of volleyball is so bad
    Sometimes I'm really disappointed and feel sad about the situation in my country ;(


    I see, sad to hear that :(
