Weaker (on paper) teams can pull off upsets. That's my takeaway from the men's matches so far.
Make me look forward to women's matches even more!

It's so sad already
Hope there will be no new Covid cases affecting the players once the competition is started

3. Cansu
A bit of a surprise!

I think this post (as well as the twitter of the official Team Italia twitter account) means that Egonu will be one of the (eight?) athletes holding the Olympic five-circle flag at the opening ceremony?
Back in 2016 there were 8 Brazilians holding the Olympic flag, including footballer Marta.
If so that would be a huge honor nonetheless!

Another volleyball player as flag bearer, so thrilled!

There will be a Brazil-Italy friendly match today, do you have a broadcast link?
Very unlikely for such kind of friendlies so close to the competition to be broadcasted.

According to this link (https://www.volleyball.it/toky…ali-italiane-in-giappone/), Italy will have one friendly with Brazil and one with Korea.

Zhu Ting, the captain of China WVNT, is now officially announced China Flag bearer in Tokyo together with Zhao Shuai (Taekwondo).

So well deserved. I'm also happy the male flag bearer is not a random basketball player but someone deserving the honor in his own right!

So flag bearers from volleyball world. I'd say we are dominating the OG
Kenya - Mercy Moim
Brazil - Bruno
DR - Rivera
Russia - Mikhaylov
Korea - KYK
Am I missing someone?
Hopes are high that Zhu Ting will be China's. Let's see!

Display MoreI think we'll get a better idea when teams arrive in Japan.
DR and Kenya are already there.
Brazil currently on the plane.
Serbia travel on the 15th.
China on the 16th.
USA on the 17th.
Anybody know when Italy is flying?
I read that China will be flying on the 19th. The team have ended quarantine in Ningbo and just arrived in Beijing.

Okay well, if its gonna be USA's win then let's end it in set 4 haha I gotta sleep😂
Really think Brazil played so well today and deserves the match though, but they can't play past set 3 with the same energy unfortunately
Said what I wanna say. It does not look like Brazil could win the tiebreak even if there were one.
Great match nonetheless.

It's getting close again

Does Tandara have a proper sub when she's a bit out of gas?
-
Karch is unusually calm today. Not used to this side of him.
-
Please don't melt down after the hot mess at the end of Set 3.
-
That one was on Dani Lins, for sure. This is sad...
-
Rosamaria scored again though
-
Double sub again???

What a point
