    Turkey is aiming OG and VNL is just preparation for them now. As Cansu said on interview that even game day against good rivals, they make exercises at gym.

    that’s true except every team does this now :) at least those going to Paris

    We saw in game with Brazil that nothing really depends on Vargas.

    It is exact same situation as with Boskovic. Set 50 balls to them and pray they can kill them.

    So far it worked last years for both Serbia and Turkey and nothing changed since then.

    Three players from last year's winning team have injuries. Even if they make it to the Olympics, they will lack training and game time, hence they will be out of shape. TUR should have let go of VNL and followed the Serbian model. I would have expected Santarelli to be wiser. This is also his first experience managing a team without star players....

    only Zehra from starting 6. Anyways it all depends on Vargas so who cares

    I agree, Turkey is much better than Italy lately so why on earth Italy is now a clear favourites? I would say Brazil and Turkey are teams to beat right now.

    Yes I think that playing with 3 OPP at the same time was the main reason for bad OG performance. Rosner was already after her best times but certainly Werblinska or Mirek or Jagielo could have been starters. Okay Glinka was maybe half OH but Podolec never played as OH and I really don’t know what was Bonitta thinking.
    Even with this crazy setting they were close to beating Japan and USA and took a set of strong China and Cuba but certainly they could have done much more than this.

    Szczyglowska was great in VNL outside of Brazil and China matches. But Stenzel for sure is better receiver and more experienced at NT level. I’m sure she will go to Paris as a main libero.

    I don’t think that being in basket 1 or 2 will matter that much for Poland. 33% chance of getting France is not such an amazing buffer tbh considering it would be more beneficial to get a weaker opponent in quarterfinal than in the group stage. I don’t think losing matches on purpose is a way to go… outside of that random time pre-Rio when winner of Dominican Rep - Puerto Rico match was going to play in much tougher Olympic Qualifier tournament with top Asian & European teams and the loser with the African ones. Still can’t believe how Kwiek decided that he wanted to win that match :lol:

    but also this way Poland avoids Turkey and China and both are the teams Poland has worst record against

    I don't really know how come you guys give so much credit to a player who basically didn't play a proper game for a year. Czyrnianska was a good prospect but she hasn't shown anything to be considered 'for sure going to Olympics'. She should definitely get chances this VNL with Piasecka and then better one should get the spot. Even rozanski's place is not for sure considering how bad her season was. I don't think except lukasik any of polish outside players get a guaranteed slot in Paris roster YET

    If we had anyone serious there I wouldn’t be sure. But Fedusio is bad in NT and Piasecka is new. Czyrnianska proved she can be at least a joker in extreme situation. The other two proved nothing so far.

    For me it should be

    Rozanski

    Czyrnianska

    Lukasik

    Medrzyk


    Fedusio never did well in NT and Piasecka has almost no experience. I don’t really know what can be so unexpected here on OH position. It’s pretty obvious unless we need a replacement.

    Czyrnianska may not play the whole season for me but she basically beat Germany in OQT with 27 points. She is kind of joker and that’s it.
