I read some interview with coach and he said that he planned to give free to Smarzek and Stenzel.

Any info why Smarzek didn't play?

My guess is that coach wants her to rest (he learnt something from Heynen), she played whole VNL and Olympics qualies.

Definitely, when I saw Alagierska first time I questioned myself why Tomsia is playing MB again, and then it was a new girl 😂

I’d say the younger one is more serious meanwhile Bera looks more smiley to me.

I absolutely never had such impression and I’m quite surprised right now, but I have to agree that there is some similarity between original Bera and Klaudia. I already forgot original Bera so this is maybe why I didn’t get it

You want to say that Alagierska and Tomsia are similar?

I feel sorry for Tomsia Junior, I think she’s better than Efimienko

I think Tomsia Junior (Laura) was playing as Opp and she is lefty.

The info about World Cup 2023 comes from the article you quated in your post. It talks about the changes to be introduced after the last committe meeting.

Ok thanks, actually situation and plans change everyday...

According to Przedpelski - yes. The best two teams will qualify.

In his last interview he said that even 7 countries from Europe will be able to play at OG so it excludes any sports from WC. Do you have any source?

Any news about today’s friendly with Poland?

WZP - in the interview you have mentioned Przedpelski is referring to the ranging system used to determine the participants of the OQTs that finished two days ago. As you probably remember there was a discussion which tournaments should be taken into consideration. He is not talking about any permanent changes introduced in the future. In a more recent interview, however, he said that it is very likely that for the next olimpic games the continental qualifications will take place before the intercontinental tournaments, which should ensure at least 6 spots for Eurpean teams.

Your ranking system seems to be quite complicated.

Yes, apologises. In Poland there are thousands of information about volleyball everyday and sometimes it’s hard to remember all.

But I found information and source which informed about testing new ranking rules.

In this new ranking a single matches will be pointed. Old ranking will be lead parallel and after some time FIVB will decide which is better.

But FIVB needs money. Lesser tournaments = lesser money from sponsors.

Your idea makes sense the most.

Let them eat less

Qualification system for OG 2024 will be modified that continental qualification will take place as first. Intercontinental tournaments will be played after and it will give chance for 7 European countries in total to participate at OG. Having France as host it may be that in Paris 2024 even 8 European countries will play in each (men’s and women’s) tournament.

Also if FIVB will approve a new ranking system it may help to distribute countries to the groups much better way.

Where have you read the news that FIVB has planned to change the ranking system?

Here:

https://siatka.org/pokaz/miros…sobie-tworzenia-rankingu/

the person who gave interview is Mirosław Przedpełski, ex President of Polish Volleyball Federation, current FIVB vice-president. He said about plan of the new ranking. No decision yet, we will know it at the end of the year.

Using my ranking system the best team not in right now is France at 2nd (different from FIVB ranking). They win a lot of matches but have let downs at the worst times.

Argentina in my ranking is 10th.

Could you public this ranking and say a bit how you count points, please? it’s really interesting.

I know that FIVB plans to change ranking system and before there I would like to see your if I can.

I see we're still underestimating Argentina, huh? Okay.

They didn’t achieve anything last... 20 years(?). I guess some success was semi in 2000 and then nothing.

vabo wrote:

Does anyone know the formula for the European qualification group? Will it be the usual one with pools, semifinals and final?

Same as always. CEV ranking after ECH will determine participants - 8 teams, 2 pool, semis and final.

After these qualification I can say that OG will have only 6 strong teams: Bra, Usa, Ita, Pol, Rus and European qualifier. Japan and Argentina will be strong opponents but with no chances for SF. I'm much more now against OGs diversity.

I don't thing your argument is valid. Africa always get a spot and they have been at the same level for ages.

Agree; Polish TV commentators said (i didn't check it) that Tunisia has been participating 6 times in OG within last 30 years and within this time they won only one set. So for me diversity are senseless. During Olympic cycle there are many world competition to show up your possibilities than to go to Olympics and be killed in each match. Women's OG tournament will have 8 strong (best world) teams while male is in much worse situation because only 6 will be worlds top.

if im not wrong 1 set for Poland tomorrow is enough.

My calculations says the same

What a sad story, Slovenia from 23:19 to 23:25 and lost 3rd set and whole match.

Kevin Le Roux won the ending for France by 3 aces.
