Olympic Qualification Tournaments - Paris 2024

  • Just watched the replay of Iran vs Ukraine, why didn’t Plotnytskyi play in this game? For Iran side Ebadipour was definitely missed, the reception without him was a nightmare. I thought he would return to the team for this OQT, but instead he seems to have met his new club in Russia already:/

    Ebadipour participated in ACH 2023 in Iran but he wasn't in the roster of OQT. He was angry and gave some message in SNS. These things were all before a few days. Just here isn't the host of men's volleyball.

    He was dropped in the National Team for OQT after the Asian Championship. He posted in social media that he did not get an invitation for the training camp for OQT.

  • Victory but again not a good game from ARG. Thankfully Sokolov made a lot of errors in key moments.

    The team in general doesn't look very lucid. Loser in particular is very out of form, ineffective in attack and with unusually low block numbers.

  • Czech almost beat Brazil in a set #5 game. Two lucky blocks from Brazil cut the side line at clutch time.

  • Was Russian still banned from Paris 2024?

  • Belgium looked really really good. Think we'll lose to them tomorrow, sadly.


    So far shaky performances from all the VNL teams except the few that rested out or rotated players during it.

  • Congrats to Belgium! I only checked the live score but I'm not gonna rewatch it later... 26 vs 9 errors is just embarrassing, I wanna spare myself the frustration when watching :rolll: they really need to beat at least Bulgaria and China now to stay in the running for qualifying on ranking points, although I'm not even confident in their chances vs Bulgaria atm :gone:

  • Belgium will stay in first if Canada win set 5.


    Poland will be 3-0, Belgium 2-1


    Japan needs a win, but will stay in 4th as they can’t match Serbia on sets ratio.

  • Zhang Jing-yin lost his good serve due to the injury.

    Yu Yuan-tai was injured in Set 2.

    I hope it were light.

    Thanks to Wang Bin.

    He gave the goodbye ace!

  • Canada played great today, and almost beat Poland in set #5.

    Semeniuk saved Poland's ass.

  • FIVB must to work on bad decisions made by challenge system. A point for German NT was stolen.
