Did Gong Xiang Yu start playing volleyball as setter?
She was setter in the junior teams.

Also, Yan Ni said she will retire, 2021 Tokyo will be her last international tournament. Last tournament is expected to be the National Games, as is convention for Chinese VB players.
We will miss her for 2022 WCh for sure.

Apparently they forgot 2004. KIND OF JUST LIKE THE MOVIE, right sitenoise?
Honestly though 2004 is the triumph of a fast system (all the Chinese players were below 6'2; the one tall player, Zhao Ruirui at 6'6, was injured in a very early match) over a tall, hard hitting system (Russia with Gamova & Sokolova)
Looking back there are a few recognizable names that were active even in the 2016 cycle (Fabiana, Del Core, Centoni, Kimura, Carrillo, Rivera, and Logan)

Who else is part of the Roster 100 list? from Japan's WNT
I don't understand the numbering did it start from 1-100 or 100-1. I saw Boskovic and my queen Naz
Erika Araki today and I think that's it so far for Japanese women
I didn't see Naz; are you sure?

Carlini had COVID in the US
that means she can't go to Turkey right?

People blame Karsta for that 5th set loss? If any, Karch should be blamed. Robinson played like an amateur in that 5th set but decided to burn Hill’s sub by making her a pinch server.
Karsta's the reason that 5th set wasn't 15-6 for Serbia

lets just petition that no one use liberos anymore! who needs them anyways!
*cries in no liberos*
You can also petition that none of the pin hitters are allowed to be over 6'2 🙃

Why not we petition to bring 14 players yeah?! Hope this is possible. If this happens then your favourite players will have chance for that spot. 😁 Because i am sure larson is the sure locked.

It will never happen since the olympics are almost always an economic loss for the host country. The last thing they want to do is increase the number of participants. I wish it was possible though.
I think the 12 player thing is a feature from the old days when we didn't have liberos. 14 players should be the standard these days.

Looks like Tianjin is reloading on more talent. Seen the news that 20 players originally part of Bayi will be joining their men's, youth men's, youth women's, and beach volleyball teams.
Also seen something online about Yuan Xinyue and Wang Simin (Beijing's former libero) possibly joining Tianjin. Was hoping Yuan would go abroad or at least join another team instead of Tianjin.
I've seen the rumors too. I don't really believe it for Yuan Xinyue.... I'm still thinking she would go abroad after Tokyo.
Wang has played in the Italian league before. Looks like the coach doesn't trust Meng Zixuan/Liu Liwen (I don't either)

VNL should be a barometer for Parsons. Club performance does not necessarily translate to NT performance. Besides, I don’t think Karch even puts much weight on club. he’ll lineup Karsta even when she’s doing nothing.
Yeah what clubs did Karsta play in? I think she played once in CVL for Beijing in 2014-15.

Can you think of any other better jump server?
Malinov
-
Let's not exaggerate Hancock's serving so much as it is best in the world. She might be the best jump server among setters but there is almost no other setter doing it anyways
Malinov with her 20km/hr jump serve.

Jane Waku is definitely not in top100 of last decade, I mean, come on!
Obviously (I'm pretty sure we can find 100 better than her in Brazil alone), but I also said "Considering that FIVB's going to represent every continent" which means there must be an African representative.
-
The women's side is atleast going to be more predictable than the men's side. The men's side feels more like a list made to accomodate the haikyuu fans which makes it a mess for now.
Considering that FIVB's going to represent every continent, I haven't seen any terrible choices on women's indoor volleyball. Beach and men's are different.
-
I've lost my interest with FIVB's Roster 100.
Like I have no idea how Ishikawa and Nishida made the list. They just do not have the credentials to make it there atleast for the previous decade.
they had saori kimura yesterday, but yeah, who knows how the fivb came up with this list
-
IMO leaving out the best server off your team is a really stupid move.
Hancock would honestly be a shoe in if she were in another NT but then this is USA NT.
you forgot (or maybe you didn't :P) that they're not allowed to jump serve in the USA NT.
-
They are participating in Tokyo 2021 (covid permitting) regardless of the wada/IOC ruling right?

article that I wrote on Saori Kimura.wow, nice!
BTW, I think I remember that you also wrote about international competitions for volleymob in 2017 and 18 -- what happened for the 2019 events?
