Display Moreitaly could be like russia and don't participate in og as Italy
I understand is something about coi autonomy
What happen? Why that?
What I know about this kind of problem that happened before the gouvernement can't take part in sports organism
Maybe is something related to that
I found the article in English: https://swimswam.com/ioc-expec…-from-tokyo2020-olympics/
Vakifbank is also meeting with Carlini and Fetisova. ( Rasic is leaving) Gabi's contrat ending this year and most probably gabi will leave. But she is likely to stay in Turkey. Gabi is very good defensively but Michelle is not bad. Zhu and Michelle good duo , Zhu-Michelle and Isabelle Haak better than Zhu-Gabi and Haak.
Vakifbank will continue with Ayça and other young libero. If Lauren Carlini is absent , the young setter Buket gulubay will return. Meliha Ismailoglu is leaving , they will continue with Tugba and X ( not clearyet)
where is Rasic going? And what happened to Gizem?
Yuan dont have any club now.China has cancelled all army sports teams.so Yuan can choose if she wil play abroad.I hope vitra can pay attention on her. Carlini is a terrible setter.not all setters from team usa are good.she is like Yao Di,terrible...Vakif can choose cansu to play all season or buy Ding Xia .
Yeah I hope some of the NT players get a chance to play abroad. But I wouldn't hold my breath for it.
I'm guessing for TL it'll be Zhu+Meliha+Haak for the wing hitters and Rasic as the MB, then for CL or WCCh It'll be Gabi. I don't really see VB letting Gabi go (without considering contract restrictions)
It's not obvious to me that Gabi would leave then... With Zhu + Haak you got the firepower you need (is Ebrar returning?) and out of Meliha, Gabi, and MBH I'm guessing MBH is the one they'll let go since she's the weakest in reception. For playing alongside Zhu and Haak the 2nd OH doesn't need a lot of firepower and IMO all three have enough so it'd come down to reception and defence
With the arrival of Zhu Ting, Gabi’s leaving is almost inevitable. Wishing that she could stay in Turkey or go to Italy.
I haven't followed TL lately.. which other OHs are there? Is Meliha there?
Looks like Turkish sources also reported the rumors
I read about this as well. I wonder how the team will operate being jointly run by the Serbian Volleyball Association. Will they specifically select Serbian foreigners to play there? Coaching staff will most likely have some foreigners, if I'm not mistaken Guangdong has some Serbian assistants.
I think the Shenzhen team will be separate from Evergrande (they have foreigners too on the coaching team)
It's rumored to be funded by QQ (ie owned by Tencent, same company that has wechat), so that means they have a lot of $$$$$ and can certainly pay the salaries.
BTW I heard that there will be a new CVL team based in Shenzhen that is co-sponsored by Serbian sources. There are some rumors that Mihajlovic and some of the former Bayi players will join.
Is Meliha playing for NT as a neutralized player or not? Can she & Alexia play in the NT at the same time?
good question, i remember the stuff that happened in the ioqt last last summer...
Zhu Ting is going overseas again. Don't know where. Most likely Vakifbank at Turkey.

All jokes aside, it IS both important and very much relevant to include them when you are discussing the 2 player's NT repertoire, both in terms of accomplishments, and in terms of direct rivalry.
Boskovic for sure has the better record in ECh, but what I wanted to express in my original comment is that although Egonu was showing signs of maturity in 2017, she really matured in 2018 during the WCh and developed into the player she is and it's about how long they've played, not who won what.
My personal opinion is that Boskovic has been playing at a high level on the NT since 2015 even though she is still improving. For Egonu that's 2018 onwards.
So I think comparing "consistency" between Boskovic who's been playing at a high level since 2015 (with six major events: 2015 WC, 2015 ECh, 2016 OG, 2017 ECh, 2018 WCh, 2019 ECh) and Egonu who has played two major events (2018 WCh and 2019 ECh) is kind of pointless. You can talk about the consistency of Boskovic's performance, but for Egonu there's only been two events, so....
very nice recovery
I swear, I'm funny 🙃
Your background is showing.
You are not including European Championship, which both teams/players care very much about.
I could have, but I didn't want to 
Serbian NT has reached their peak way earlier than Italian with current starting six. We will see how will they perform after 2years when they are gone need to change 80% of their starting six. Maja, Rasic, Veljkovic, Popovic S, Brankica....
At Rio Egonu had terrible team around her. They were super messy, and Serbia was amazing.
Italy have possibilty to perform on the same level for next 2 Olympic cycles after Tokyo.
I would say Serbia was good from 2015-onwards (the key event being the world cup) and Italy 2017-onwards (since 2017 GP, but it's mostly Egonu).
On his opposite opinion, I agree on him when it comes to clubs season. In the national team one, Boskovic has shown a way more consistent performance than Egonu actually.
Egonu only really played in 2018 WCh though, in 2016 she was 16/17 so I don't think anyone really expected results from her
whereas Boskovic played in 2015, 16, 18. (and also 2014, but again, she was 17)
It would be interesting if Fenerbahce can get Yuan Xinyue to play in Turkey. I dunno if its possible or if Chinese Federation allows this but maybe they can settle it with money?
she hasn't signed on with any club in CVL after Bayi disbanded so I'm hoping she goes abroad. Italy or Turkey, doesn't matter to me. But I hope it's a top team that has the right to play in CEV CL.
First thing that they should do is to let Brankica go. They are limiting them self because of her.
And Robinson going back to China is not rumor. It is official. But She can come back after Jan again.
You don't know what the CVL will be like in a post-olympic year (because even the organizers do not know ). Historically, it's a longer league than what we've had the last two years.
I think in 2016-17 it ended in Feb/march
She's gonna spend the entirety of her peak in Eczacibasi. Everything about her indicates a quiet girl with no taste for adventures who when once finds her home won't budge from it until chased away, and it's clear she found one.
I only hope (against hope) that she will at least make them pay handsomely for it. But knowing her, she has probably willingly reduced her market price by at least 30-40 %.
It's always better to make more money (And I don't understand why she signed a two year contract, she'll still be top level in a year) but making 10 vs 15 million in a career is not much different, in my opinion. If she enjoys Eczacibasi, then that's great.
edit: I think she's been there since she was 18 in 2015?
What are we gonna do about that? Shinnabe isn't around anymore. I would exchange her for Ishii in a heartbeat but that's not going to happen.
I still don't understand why she all of a sudden felt the urgency to retire. She never clarified that part other than her having an existing injury but she was willing to play had it been last year? it doesn't make any sense.
maybe she has insider info that the tokyo olympics are gonna get cancelled (jk)
