Oh no. I missed a chance to watch my Queen Godina!

Kazan is the deserved winner. Unless I am mistaken Lokomotiv lost the championship by sending the second team to Sakhalin...
You are right

Is Brakocevic playing as Italian?

I think he's talking about Artamonova going to London.
AFAIK she went to London with a injury and didn't play a single match. She also went to Beijing after being already retired...wasn't playing well in years at least in terms of NT
Artamonova played many games in London 2012 as principal player. She did a great job in reception with Kryuchkova.

In the 4th set when Brazil was leading 16-13, after the tech timeout, Gabi goes to serve and Clayton Lucas says " Gabi getting instructions from her daddy. It is a interesting dynamic when you have family members on the court" He goes on to compare Gabi-Ze Roberto with Bruno-Bernardinho.
I can`t believe he said that....has anyone been able to watch the replay and confirm he did say "daddy"?. I just wanna be 100% sure....and also....is this truly Clayton Lucas? For me they all sound the same and I can`t who is who anymore.
We need to let him know......this is simply embarrassing.
I guess he thought that Ze and Gabi are family because they have the same last name... Guimaraes

DOM is going to de Panamerican Games with the same team as in the IOQ ( Inluding Yonkaira Peña)
DOM vs Azerbaijan https://www.youtube.com/watch?…pwmX7Ef13vors&app=desktop
Only 12 players are allowed to participate in the Panamerican Games. Not 14.

Display MoreDOM x AZE just ended. pena was there but she didn't play.
the DOM roster for the IOQ seems to be:
marte, dominguez
valdez, eve, arias, j. martinez
b. martinez, rivera, de la cruz, pena
mambru, gonzalez
l. martinez, castillo
My mistake. Peña is out of the Panamerican Games
-
Really? This is weird. Who is there instead of her?
idk. Maybe Mambru.
Bethania, Brayelin, Rivera, Eve, Gaila and Mambru are the attackers of Dominican Republic.
-
Based on the pictures I have seen, it is the regular roster with the addition of Castillo and Vargas. I don't know who was left out.
Peña is out

Are you even watching Russia's games in its entirety? Kobzar has definitely been the better setter overall. Leadership skills notwithstanding, he sets the balls to the middles better, is more scrappy in defense, and can "turn up" the team in the crucial moments. I love Kovalev but the only thing going for him is his block, that is why he is now mainly used as a blocking substitute towards the end of the sets.. Lastly, stats don't tell the whole picture, if you are able to I suggest you watch the replays of these matches in particular: RUSxJPN, RUSxSRB so you would see how Kobzar is currently the better setter.
I think that Kobzar is good with Poletaev, Yaroslav, Kurkaev, Yakovlev, etc because they play "fast" volleyball. But I don't think that he will be useful when Maxim, Dmitry, Kliuka, Volvich come back... That's the reason why Kovalev needs to be ready in the principal competitions. If he fails, Grankin should return to NT.
Pd: In the future Abaev (19y-o) will be the principal setter. I hope that this happens in Tokyo

The main problem is that they are The main problems are the setters and the OH substitutes.
In my opinion Starteva is OK, but she wasn't in her best level in that VNL. Romanova plays really fast and the players who plays fast in NT are Parubets and Kadochkina.
And, Kosheleva, Kurilo and Khodunova (she in the next year) could be good OH substitutes. Obviously each player must be in her best level if Russia wants to get something
-
Enina and Stalnaya will also participate in Universiade. There's a rumor that the best player of Universiade team will have a chance to join main Russian NT.
I think that Enina and Evdokimova are better than Orlova and Zubareva. Stalnaya won't probably participate in Universiade... she is just training in a large list of players (?) hahaha.
Wow ...14th place at the standing table in a VNL?.. hard to see and believe. Had this ever happened before ?
Yes, but in the WL 2012 (male competition). Russia was the worst team in that competition (because they played with the team B).
