No Vasileva or Vuchkova for the home series is a bit sad.... especially when they need to fight off relegation.
Bulgaria is a guest (replaced Russia) this edition so no relegation rule for them.

I am not sure if Poland's system of alternate liberos is helping them develop the defense dynamics of the team. Especially during olympics where typically there is only 1 libero slot.
It was not like that.
Popiwczak was staring libero today. He played whole first set and until ~12th point of 2nd set. During this time he defended 0 balls… Poland didn’t have any defence so Grbić decided to help the team and let in Zatorski to defence and by this they won 2nd set. He defended 2 balls and one of them won by PL in a crucial moment.

Btw, anybody knows what is going on with Wasilewska? She is not with the team?
She was just the last backup, 25th player, that's all. She said in #7 strefa that coach actually didn't call her and she didn't have any training program to join NT camp and she was training by her own to be in a good shape.

this is extremely unprofessional of Germany not showing up like that. The venue was ready, the people went there, everything was set up.
Shame on them. They also refused to play the exhibition match that already scheduled against the PH team that they AGREED with from the start. They refused by just saying they were tired.. only hours before the match. With people already on their way to the venue. This is bullshit on the part of Germany
Lol what!? This shows that FIVB is a joke. Germans behaved really good. Taking care of your buddies is the most important. China was sick yesterday it today is fine…

Is this the first time for Elvis to play for Polska NT?
He played in NT in 2019 (VNL finals in Chicago), but this year will be his first year a first setter.

Is Winiarski the current head coach of Germany? Just watching the replay right now and pretty sure this guy looks like him
Yes its him.

I hope we can see Czyrnianska, Smarzek and Stysiak for the 2nd week as Poland will play against all-libero teams and they need some power in attack
Czyniańska will be on Phillipines, Stysiak not yet and Smarzek is not listed on VNL roster at all.

According to tt Czyrniańska will join NT in Philippines (or Korea where NT will be located for a few days). Also another person states that Jurczyk will join.

And she extended her teeth!

Btw. wiki already knows Iran will be in the semis

Which bands do you think will be the biggest favorites? In my opinion: Poland, Brazil, France
Poles have a very wide squad and a lot of valuable players, Brazil, regardless of the squad, always counts and France is the Olympic champion, so it will also countFor me it's really hard to say what will happen as a lot of new faces in many teams. But it may finish as you predicted.

Didn't Poland also let a game be played in a stadium? It was a male game if I remember right, maybe WCH final?🤔
Considering the recent popularity of volleyball, I think it is not a bad idea, I can imagine it will be sold out!
It was opening of WCH 2014 and roof was closed then - the stadium has this possibility to close the roof.

Ok, but how to read it in English?

Replace Arina with Bartsch
Bartsch was rather Vakif's crutch in the finals.
-
According to Italian media Leon will have a knee surgery today and will not be part of NT this year.
-
So maybe let's move finals to Poland, it will even more cheaper for Dutch VF

Yes, they will play challenger.
Also FIVB doesn't allow medial medical transfer in VNL roster. After Huber's serious injury Polish Federation asked for a one roster change but FIVB refused. Sad approach.
