So Zhu and Gabi just “defended” their best OH awards

Other than Gamze's connection with hitters at times, Eczacibasi is really strong! Vakifbank on the other hand is shaky today and they don't have a deep bench at all.

So now we have to hear boom boom boom even in Turkish league

Eczacibasi is missing Ognjenovic already.

Now that Ognjenovic decided to continue playing until Tokyo (read somewhere on this forum), she should have stayed in Turkish league, though maybe it was Eczacibasi who didn't renew the contract.

Three liberos on court for Vakifbank

i cant see a roster up there...i think you are talking about the team pic there or ?

Not sure if the group picture at the airport is for this year or not, because Kim is not in it. But the smaller picture below the article has Kim in it.

Why does it have to start at 20:30?

It's just way too late for Asia

Wondering which two teams are the two best teams from CEV

Congratulations to Serbia! I wish every team played hard every single game but the schedule just simply doesn’t allow them to do so. 13 games in 20 days including all the travels, crazy! IMO, the difference in the final is that Serbia knows when to lose but Italy (and China) don’t know. Serbia doesn’t want to play Brazil and China and they were able to avoid both by losing/winning at the right time. There is no day off between semi and final, Italy should have played Sylla in the semi final.

Please. This is their moment to shine. Don't even try to steal it.

I'm not completely sure but it seems that Serbia will become the new world No.1 and China will become No.2.

This will decide who China will play at Olympics qualification tournament so I'm quite curious.

has Italia got any olympic medals so far ?

Never in semi-final IIRC.

It seems bronze medalists always look happier than silver medalists

I'm so happy Zhu is all smiles today! It's not an easy tournament for you, but you did the best you could! Now just enjoy the celebration!

They are now showing a very good video in the arena which compiles all the fantastic moments of the competition.

I'm so glad we almost had a full house in the arena today. Totally unexpected.

Other than MB (Foluke) I absolutely agree with all other individual awards. Everyone listed would totally deserve it if she wins the award.

Another decent interview by Maja, and it's so funny she rushed to her teammates for celebration before the interview finishes

Popovic is amazing in this tiebreak. Those digs are so crucial.

Congratulations to Serbia for finally grabbing that gold! They were almost there twice and finally took it!

Oh my god!!!!!!!! What a thrilling point

Those powerful spikes by top European opposites are just beautiful to watch. So envious

Incredible defense by Serbia. Just wow
