I think Canadá and Cuba have chances.
I prefer Cuba.
I believe that the Cuban players play aggressively and focus, can beat Canada and secure a place for Rio 2016.
I hope these players succeed!

My team is:
Grankin - Mikhaylov
Musersky - Vlasov
Klyuka - Sivozhelez
Verbov
No like Volvich and Savin.
Ilyinis a offensive OH, but your reception is so bad.
Mikhaylov plays much better as OPP, and I believe that all list OH can play a good role.
Very Good, Musersky playing as MB and Mikhaylov as OPP.
I believe that with Vlasov, form the best pair MB of world

Sokolova gave an interview recently saying that she knows her body no longer has 20 years of age and who have to take care of your health, just as it did in 2011, arriving in London very well. Olympic Rio games in 2016 will be the last chance to represent his country in Russia, she is preparing her body, and I said with Marichev that if the team did not have to qualify for the World Cup in January it would join team for the Olympic qualifier.
Olympiad is not the same as Grand Prix, World Championship and the Champions League, the atmosphere is different, there is a lot of pressure. And pressure moments, I still do not trust Ombochaeva. I trust in times of pressure and Gamova and Sokolova can do better. Just look on YouTube, in games played, there are times to win the match, and Obmochaeva not. Gamova and Sokolova do.
Alexey Spiridonov (OH) and Ilyas Kurkaev (MB) is OUT.
http://rsport.ru/volleyball/20151005/869242123.html
In training:
S - Dmitri Kovalev - Igor Kobzar - Sergei Grankin.
OH - Dmitry Ilyin - Evgeni Sivozhelez - Sergey Savin - Egor Klyuka.
MB - Dmitry Musersky - Artem Volvich - Ilya Vlasov.
OP - Maxim Mikhailov - Victor Poletaev - Pavel Kruglov.
L - Aleksey Obmochaev - Alexei Verbov.
I believe just another setter and oppositte will be out... in my opinion, Igor Kobzar and Pavel Kruglov out.
I believe Obmochaeva is living its best moment in his career, but it is not decisive as Gamova. In the Russian league games, Kazan always wins Moscow, because in important games, Obmochaeva does and Gamova. I believe that the atmosphere of the Olympic Games is different from all competitions. Olympiad is Olympiad.
Ombochaeva can play some games in the first team, but in the decisive phase, I would choose Gamova, for all his experience.
After 2016, Obmochaeva, Kosheleva and Scherban would be the main. But speaking in this case of Olympic Games, the Sokolova and Gamova experience can still be important. Because Russian girls were not able to get rankings in the World Cup in important moments they make mistakes that can not commit.
Sokolova has won every competition they participated, and she is not a woman of 20 years old. She has given interviews saying it is preparing your body and your health to his last chance to win a gold medal in 2016.
I remember that in 2011, she did not have its best and many people said that it should not be in the NT, and when he arrived in London, made 30 points against Brazil, with a great welcome and a strong attack.
Sokolova know how to play the important hours. The same is true of Gamova, will be his last chance, I believe she will prepare the best level
After ECH, my Rússia team for Olympic Qualification:
S - Kosianenko - Startseva
MB - Fetisova - Morozova - Shylyakhovaya - Zaryazhko
OH - Kosheleva - Scherban - Sokolova - Kutiukova - Ilchenko - (OUT Pasynkova)

L - Kryuchkova - Malova
Option 1
Startseva - Gamova
Sokolova - Kosheleva
Zaryazhko - Morozova
Malova
Option 2

My ideal Russian Team for the Olympic Games 2016:
Startseva - Kosianenko
Kosheleva - Sokolova - Ilchenko - Kutiukova
Gamova - Goncharova
Shlyakhovaya - Zaryazhko - Orlova - Lyubushkina
Malova
Tatiana Kosheleva will join the team this weekend She's already in Kaliningrad with other girls. Ira Fetisova will be replaced due to her knee injury. Not certain how serious it is.
http://www.russiavolley.com/69…e-with-us-in-kaliningrad/
Russian roster for 2nd round in Kaliningrad.
S : Kosianenko, O.Efimova
OPP : Obmochaeva, Malykh
MB : Orlova, Lyubushkina, E.Efimova
OH : Kosheleva, Pasynkova, Scherban, Ilchenko, Biryukova
L : Malova, Kravchenko(also OH)
Ilchenko - Kosheleva - Ombochaeva
But Marichev likes Pasynkova... i think she is OH starter with Kosheleva
I just do not like because Marichev exchange other team. This is bad because the team does not create a face, an identity. The team needs to win and lose MAINLY together, to take shape and out of various game situations. But a mistake he ever takes the player. For me, let the whole weekend, with or without defeat, ends with Kosheleva, Ilchenko and Obmochaeva.
Pasynkova and Sherban is 28 years old and has no long life in the team. Ilchenko is the present and the future, the only player capable of replacing Sokolova in the main foundations of reception and attacker.
With Shlyakovaya recovering from his injuries and returned to the team, Russia becomes stronger with her and Orlova.
My ideal team:
Kosianenko - Ombochaeva
Ilchenko - Kosheleva
Orlova - Shlyakovaya
Malova
Russia was world champion in 2010 with a player receiving (Sokolova) and other Kosheleva in the attack. Ilchenko has the potential to repeat it, and will only reach its maximum level, if you play enough.
After watching the match between Russia and China, it's pretty clear that the weak link in the team is the OH2 position. In my opinion, Ilchenko it seems should be the first OH option. Second OH can either be Scherban/Pasynkova depending on the situation. Ombochaeva is in just pretty great shape, somehow she manages to fill the absence of Kosehleva in terms of firepower. Malova too had a superb performance, digging almost all balls The only new thing that caught my attention was Orlova. With her height, she's such a strong presence in the net and can attack decently as well and should be starting MB in this team. Whether on not Kosheleva recovers in time, it remains to be seen if Russia can address this issue along with the reception of course
After the 1st wekeend Grand Prix, my Russia Team for the next weeks and next competitions is:
Kosianenko - Ombochaeva
Ilchenko - Kosheleva
Orlova - ?
Malova
My bests MB with Orlova is Morozova and Shlyakhovaya...

I didn't see any official release yet, but based in some posts on social networks:
S: Thompson, ?
OPP: Fawcett, Lowe
OH: Easy, Hill, Robinson, Vansant
MB: Dixon, Gibbemeyer, Jackson, Paolini
L: Banwarth, Miyashiro
No Larson, Dietzen, Akinradewo, Murphy and Glass.
My 6 starting:
Thompson - Lowe
Easy - Robinson
Dixon - Gibbemeyer
Banwarth
My Starting 6:
Rússia B:
Anna Matienko - Daria Isayeva.
Irina Voronkova - Daria Pisarenko.
Irina Zaryazhko - Irina Malkova.
Ekaterina Romanenko
Rússia A:
Ekaterina Kosianenko - Nataliya Obmochaeva.
Kseniia Ilchenko – Tatiana Kosheleva.
Ekaterina Orlova – Anastasia Shylyakhovaya.
Anna Malova.
I'm very pleased with the names.
I believe that if Sokolova and Artamonova are great players of the last 10 years is because they began to play early with 19 years. As part of serve reception line, defense and Russia team's attack.
And that's what Marichev doing. Promoting new players to last long in the main selection.
Great attackers Russia has always had, and always will, as Kosheleva and Obmochaeva. I believe we are now seeking an official replacement for Sokolova. And in my opinion this player will Ilchenko, Voronkova or Biryukova.
Russia's great technicians are watching the developments of these 3 players from the last Under-20 World Championship in 2013.
They all have a very good attack, but the main reason that led to the main selection is the great performance at the reception.
Vladislav Fadeev: “Gamova and Sokolova can join the Russian team anytime during the season”
