2012 Olympic Games

Quote from estranged

I'm not sure if it's the right place, but FIVB firmed up the qualification process for the 2016 Olympic Games.

• Two teams from the 2015 World Cup
• One team from each Confederation (coming from the 2015 Continental Championships or a Continental Olympic Qualification Tournament to be played after the 2015 World Cup)
• One team from each of four World Olympic Qualification Tournaments due to take place in 2016.
• Host country

I like it - most probably continental champion will be qualified directly and four world tournaments with 16 teams ! Additionally host Brazil as strong team in both genders. World Cup to be played before Continantal Championships and World Champion has quaranted place in WCup.

Brazil will be BIG favorite,because they're host nation,they're dangerous everywhere,but especially when they play in front of their home crowd !!

Interesting that in very recent article Katya Gamova said that when she left London after losing the match to Brazil that she didn't want to watch any of the remaining Olympics. She didn't watch the Men's Final or the Closing Ceremony.

Several German players said the same, after failing to qualify it would have been too painful to watch Olympic volleyball...
