Egonu was 17 years 7 months and 19 days old in Rio 2016.

If we consider male players, Tetyukhin played in 6 OGs and Maurício played in 5 OGs.
Both Artamonova and Tetyukhin are the recordists with 6.

Can't you translate or at least sum it up? Thanks

But Ellen's reception can be shameful...

They are surely a hot looking and cute couple
they've been together for more than 20 years already. Time flies...

Megan Easy is rumored to play in Minas if Bethania does not sign with them.
I thought Megan had retired.

Mari’s NT career was interesting for sure. Why was she cut?
Dunno.
-
Was Mari a part of NT Junior team before? How about the golden ladies of 2008? Were they playing in Junior NT too?
Mari was cut from the Junior NT. Many of the other players played in at least one World Junior or World Youth Championship, including some champions like Jaqueline (MVP of the U20), Fofão, Fabiana, Thaísa, I think Sheilla and Paula too, among others.

I know that but giving she is not tall, you expect her to be OH, not MB. And this video from 2000/2001, they have liberos but she stays on court to defend when she goes back.
Yes, and she was actually a good MB despite her height. Good at blocking. When she went to play with Ze Roberto at club level he talked to her and said she could not play as MB at high level anymore (especially in the NT) because the MBs were getting taller and taller. That was when she accepted his recommendation of becoming a libero. She was one of our best liberos ever. She did a great job in the NT between 2003-2004 and even got back for a while a few years later.

Dani Lins was the true MVP of the Olympics. She completely changed the team and did an amazing job especially with the MBs. Thaisa was on fire.

Sportv will broadcast the 2012 quarterfinal between Brazil and Russia in 5 minutes. I do not have a link as this is a cable channel however I think you can find it on google.

It's the opposite of Brazilians. Almost none of them go to college and many don't even finish high school. They start playing professional volleyball sometimes at 14, 15, 16. I think this is bad, because after their retirement they don't have a "normal job". Most of them become entrepreneur by investing their money.

CEV's rule is pathetic. A team wins the match and can't play the golden set because lost the previous game by 3x1 or 3x0. What is the point of playing the tie break??!! It is simply nonsense and unecessary. The rules should account for matches won not sets won

Is Buijs to Praia confirmed? So she will be reunited with Carol again.
No.

The thing about that team in London 2012 was that Hugh looked at the 12 players as a whole.. not as first 6 and their replacements. So it was obvious Logan, Berg, Hooker, Davis, Akinradewo will play all the matches, unless an injury occurs. Larson and Harmotto were not as stable, which was understandable considering it was their first Olympics. He had Hodge and Scott on the bench to come in, whenever things get tough. Courtney and Hanneef were there just as part of the double sub, that's all. Same for Myashiro. So it weren't exactly the 'best' players who made the cut, rather than those who did the responsibilities they had in that team the best
Ok but I still find it weird.

Well, that's a million dollar question, isn't it? No one knows for sure, but circumstantial evidence does seem strong (or at least seemed that way to a lot of people).
Sheilla has confirmed it herself. It's true. They dated for many years.

Beijing Olympics was one of the worst moments in Aguero’s career. 😂
I don't know if you meant to laugh but you should know that she had lost her mom a few weeks before and was not allowed to bury her in Cuba
-
I don't think she 'lost' it. Berg wasn't there at the WGP, Alisha and Spicer were the setters. Then at the WCH she made the roster instead of Spicer, but Alisha was the starter.
And then Alisha was the setter during the GP 12 finals, won the title and got cut from the Olympics. I'll never understand that.
