I don't believe it's ever gonna be a staple in MV but depending on the setter connection and the blocker's athleticism to perform quick slides, this could work especially if you have a weak opposite.
I mean would you mind or not mind seeing slides done regularly by men?
Nemanja Petric and Alexandre Ferreira
Just wondering, guys. How do you feel about men's/boy's teams making slides a regular play? The Thai boys (and men) do it regularly, and now Phelps of Portugal just hit one (successfully) against Poland at the ECh.
Hi, guys! Were any of the wing hitters from this year's NCAA tournament impressive enough to get a call to join the national team? Your thoughts?
I thought Ai Otomo was a good attacker too. She was the one that Japan used for back-row slides. I don't have the time to find some games now, but she did it a few times in the 2004 Olympics. Sugiyama was very fast, but Otomo was a bit fast too and a bit more powerful.
When I googled Tomoko Yoshihara you get headlines from her being the captain and winning against Poland and other countries but what was her position? was she a setter?
As was mentioned, she was a middle blocker. Watch her serve at 10:14.
I think they should make Fe Garay sit out reception first and have Natalia receive first. Too many costly mistakes.
Is Bernardinho confirmed to coach the team in the European Championships?
Oh, gosh. Sammelvuo needs to do something this early.
Pankov starts the set with an error!
One of Facundo Conte's talents is to cry without tears, eh? He said something like "protocol" in the interview. Was it because he wasn't supposed to stand too near to his father?
Sorry, it is very difficult for me to understand what Hugo is saying because there is too much noise, claps and well, Facundo who is sobbing during all the hug.
I just understand some quick phrases as: "You did your part, I am very proud, all of us are very proud, all", "You changed the history", "After you did XXX, you finally XXX". I dont understand more, despite of Im Spanish native speaker
Many thinks still, though. What you translated was more than enough for me!
Could you make out Hugo was saying?
That's the part I want to learn about. Adapt to what? Do you mean bottom line of living abroad, the food, the timezone, the language, the distance from mom? Or things like block-defense strategies, how high first pass should be, and the like?
The system of volleyball there in general. Kimura was not entirely useless, though, as her passing was enough to earn her some court time.
Congrats to Argentina! I'm happy for them, but man, Brazil what the heck? They should set up a gallows for someone from Brazil right next to the podiums.
Mendez is crying! Oh my gosh, Argentina won! I can't believe it! And eh? Poglajen is wearing a sports bra??
Brazil and Argentinian boys: This is the our very last match at the Olympics. Let's play as long as we can by taking turns playing awful.
Argentinian block in these last 5 points
Loser is also in the race for one of the best MBs awards.
Do they also award best in positions at the Olympics?
Aaaw, no! My deepest condolences to Paola and her family.
Kimura had a meh season in Italy, and so did China's Yang Hao. I'm not completely sure why, but from what I understand it was partly due to their insufficient ability to adapt.
