No there is no further information. Indeed those two names are named and some Dutch coaches, as Alberda, Selinger, Blangé who only would be the head coach during qualification tournament.

I just wrote in DUtch NT-thread: the level-difference between Santarelli <--> Akbas is so huge, it must be a mistake both are a candidate...

This time Dominican Republic has no reason to miss it like what happened in Rio 2016.

Only after the Continental qualifications are done.

the way DOM collapses during games, especially now without castillo, i wouldn’t be too shocked if PUR pulls an upset. we’ll see.

I don't know, it's always the same old story: PR plays better technically and tachtically, but on the long run DR starts spiking over their block and wins easily the 5th set. Prieto was exhausted after 3 sets tonight. Ocasio was injured and didn't come at all. No one could kill the ball anymore.
-
yeah, it seems there’s always this regular norceca pecking order. DOM never beats USA, and PUR never beats DOM... it’s the old script. PUR played well for 4 sets, then collapsed at the end. but DOM, when they regroup and eliminate errors, can be a tough opponent. PUR just couldn’t stop brayelin at the end.

USA will really not drop a single set in the NORCECA Championship
-
actually ocasio started the match as passing OH ( she’s usually OPP but now prieto is the starting OPP for PUR) but she took an elbow to the face from reyes and had to leave the game (2nd or 3rd set) and was subbed by cruz.
-
The gold medal match is so early here from where I am. Damn got to sleep now.
-
DR beats USA 3-2. DR had a 2-0 lead, before the USA comes back to take it a fifth set. 15-9 for the DR after they jumped out to an early lead, which the USA could not catch up to.
DR look like favorites for NORCECA berth in Tokyo.

-
MEX beat CUB for 5th place, so i guess NORCECA qualifiers will be DOM, PUR, CAN & MEX.
-
Was it DOM that played excellently or the USA that played badly on that day that DOM could beat the USA unexpectedly (in a NT A vs NT A scenario)?
Hopefully a high resolution TV broadcast quality full replay will be made available so can watch it later on.
DOM shall not escape from Tokyo 2020 now... I guess its women's volleyball team is really the pride of that small island nation
EDIT: David-101 in NORCECA thread already posted the replay link.

I guess you don’t know that baseball is the number one sport in the country. In order for baseball players from the DR (an island country) to make to Major League Baseball, they have a phrase, “you can’t walk off the island.” Meaning they have to swing the bat aggressively to hit the ball to become successful.
