2020 Olympic Games - Tokyo (Female)

    Quote from hakin12

    Boskovic is visibly on the verge - in case this game unravels beyond the third set - of annihilating the previous OG-scoring record for a single game achieved by Marianne Steinbrecher, 37 points, back in 2004.

    I think Barbara Jelic scored more than 40 points against China in Sidney 2000.

    I found the article which says Mari is holding the record with 61% in attack, 31/51. Overall.

    Ah, its possible. However, I obtained the information from here (perhaps they forgot to mention Jelic): https://en.volleyballworld.com…-on-in-women-s-volleyball


    This is the official site for Tokyo OG; rather unprofessional given such a context to provide disinformation/inaccurate data.

    I checked it up now. Barbara Jelic (CRO) scored 44 pts vis-a-vis China in OG 2000. Even more outstandingly, Barbara attained this mark in a 4-set game (!). This ought to be the correct number to excel for either Boskovic or Egonu during this tournament.

    Quote from Mellie

    some definitely are, but I also think it’s the way she turns her hands when she sets sometimes that makes it look more like lifting than it really is

    I have pointed this out the other day, definitely setting as if she's playing beach.

    Boskovic, Egonu or Thompson

    I'm gonna say it again, Japan is missing Miyashita, in the absence of Sato there's no way she shouldn't be there.


    So far this match it's a mirror of all the olympic cicle of Japanese girls, it's like an roller coaster, they can play good and awful at the same set, lack constancy.

    Did she retire already? I havent been able to follow Japan since 2018 but in 2017 they were already lacking power.
