Wow, Inner Mongolia team beat Fujian team 3-2 after trailing two sets, the full reversal (17-25, 10-25, 25-20, 25-19, 15-9) to my great surprise... I don't know the grassland team is somehow good in volleyball 😆 I hope I can find the match in Chinese video platform.

Both the head coaches of the Junior squads Kuang Qi and Zhao Yong could be a better and more effective choice for the senior NT team than the present one.
Here's a player list of the U17 team in Lima, Peru for archive purpose, couldn't find a better, more informative list with embedded player pics.
Btw, there were many Chinese supporters in the final match in Lima, looked like a huge Chinese society in Peru, seemed to be exceeding even the local Japanese descent supporters there, a country whereas Alberto Fujimori once be its president.
Here's a 4K footage of 35 minutes of the final match, differs from the VBVT one

One more time, Dong Yuhan (2) made an impact when she came to the court, substituted Guo Xiangling (5) in the set 2, overturned the table, from trailing to leading.
From then on Dong played throughout the match. This scene is a just like the déjà vu of the Gold Medal Match of China vs Japan at the 22nd Asian Women's U20 Volleyball Championship not long ago.
The starters: both Wang Aoqian (11) and Li Chenxuan (4) remained outstanding as in their preceding continental tournament; Fan Boning (1) also contributed a lot.
The Japanese team, as usual, showed a strong defensive play, not easy to kill their balls, presented an interesting match, entertaining for viewers.
Btw, the volleyball court is located in the Lu Mall, not the usual court for volleyball, the bigger one for hosting the VNL match in HK.
I may sound cynical but why do I feel this u17 team could've done better than the senior team at the Olympics ?
Easy explanation, major volleyball countries do not focus so much on the age group competitions unlike China and Japan, and perhaps Italy, Turkiye are still paying some attention. Where are Serbia, USA, Poland, Netherlands here? There are many strong senior European teams, but much less visible in this age group, prolly they just ignored the U17 🤔

I read some sport news about the Chinese Olympic delegation being received by President Xi, it shortly mentioned that Cai Bin would get some award or appreciation from the Shanghai Sports authority among a dozen or so players and coaches, which incl. Fan Zhendong, swimmer Qin Haiyang, and so on 😛😅 I wish a better NT coach but have no idea on who's that person could be. Deep in my thought... why not call Lang Ping to return to guide the team for one more cycle or so while at the same time preparing the next head coach? Unless Lang really refuses for very strong personal reasons, it should be tried. Lang is just 63 yo, Roberto is 70. The private sector wastes so much money for football and basketball, why not some rich allocates a portion for the volleyball incl. some bonus for the coach? After all the 2021 Tokyo fiasco is a fateful virus fiasco, once in a lifetime, possibly once in many centuries.

FIVB Volleyball Girls' U17 World Championship - Schedule and Results
China best chance of getting to the podium was Tokyo Olympics. Too bad a handful of the core NT players were injured especially ZT. If All were healthy, there was a big possibility 🇨🇳 could win. This Paris Olympics, the players were not as good as they were perhaps most have past their peak and they are not physically injured free.
Call it a "fate" factor, "virus" factor... if the Tokyo's event was held on schedule in a normal world, the outcome might be quite different. Keep in mind the country was among the very first victims (along with Iran), and faced very serious threat, I call it an existential one at that time, it almost collapsed the whole nation and its economy in the worst case scenario. Enuff said. Just forget not.
Congratulations to the Italian team for winning the Gold Medal, the first ever, even the FIRST EVER MEDAL in Women's Volleyball in Olympic Games 👏 🥇🏅🪙
Italy has a great, healthy team, in every function, even more with the inclusion of Ekaterina (24)... Just a perfect moment for the victorious Italian team. Happy for their breakthrough!
25-18, 25-20, 25-17
Best wishes for the Chinese team, wish the team will redeem its total failure in Tokyo OG, and overcome the Turkish team, now reinforced by Melissa Vargas! I hope Zhu is fine. I also wish Serbia will overcome Italy as it did many times. If Chinese team advances into SF, better to face Serbia than Italy. I don't care about Cai Bin but care for the Chinese team! At least I hope the team will be on podium, also a sweet medal farewell to Zhu in Olympics.
My predictions:
BRA 3-1 DOM
SRB 3-2 ITA
POL 3-2 USA
CHN 3-1 TUR
VK LIVE CHN vs FRA!!!
Just to liven up this thread... as well as a reminder not to miss the entertaining light match 😁 I hope the team will field some substitute players ZCN / WMJ GY DX ZYX... resting the main guns LYY ZT GXY YXY/WYY 😛 if those players not playing against France then they may have very little show time or even completely meaningless presence in Paris... anyhow a good kick-off feeling after the 2021 Tokyo doom, unspirited event 🤕 far from satisfactory the current coach, but the team made good decision to leave out WYL, call in ZCN and WMJ and ZYS (back-up)... just no WYL shows the right thing in place. Now hoping the diesel engine will be getting better by each match, up and up!!! Let's see how far the team will go 🙏🏼 (with guarded optimism & high hope)

Around that time, some fascinating medal race swimming disciplines are also at play... Zhang Yufei, Ye Shiwen, team relay... btw anyone watched Pan Zhanle with his WR this early morning hour in Asia? I happened to watch live the super short show, just a couple of minutes affair.
They already have 4 points (3 for 3-0 win over France and 1 for the 2-3 game against USA)
It just tells that three teams from Group A will advance into QF due those five-sets, provided no upset made by the host team, which I believe so! The last spot will be NED/DOM or JPN, in that order.
seems to be another sweeping reversal at play 
what happens to QF balance if USA loses 2-3 again here?
