I disagree. I think it was a good decision to do so. The international community would have given major backlash to both Japan and the Olympic committee for keeping it on. I'm sure it was a truly difficult decision to make but it HAD to be done.
the original time was the lowest point of infection of the year!
Will Russia still host The World Championship 2022? Are Russia allowed to host it?
Looking back on time, I think it's wrong to postpone The Olympics.
For anyone wondering how is it that Trump lost the election so convincingly, yet Democratic party has fewer seats in the Congress and didn't get the Senate, here's a little tip:
And of course, many of those "Democratic" nominees for the Congress who FAILED to win the seat were quick to attack AOC how her "wing" of the party is to blame for the losses...
I don't think Trump lost. He gained huge amount of votes after 3 years of governing. Hope the GOP will understand that Trump's policies are welcomed by the people, they should carry on those policies.
Anybody knows about this Cuban Japanese mixed girl Merisa Valdes? How tall and how old is she? Can she make it to NT?
She is not mixed. She is pure Cuban. No way she make it to NT, she's horrible on the court when she doesn't spike. Way more to learn and improve.
Holly cow. Vtv billed me twice for a month subscription! Wtf?! And it happened only just 1 week of using their site and i got billed twice!! So i paid 2x for a month subscription.
No. VTV charges one time per month. The fixed billing day is the second day of each month.
Vtv is down! Great😂😂😂
It's not down. It blocks all non-Japan IP. I try switch to Japan IP and easily to access the website.
Man I gave up on DAZN their streaming service is whack. What about Gaora? is it better over there?
I just wanna see this presscon so bad lol. They never release it anywhere else. I was able to make an account already but I don't know if I'll be able to access anything.
V.TV will not block oversea viewers. However, it doesn't provide English version for oversea viewers. And that's same organization calling commercialize volleyball. It's just like a joke. I can't believe they are only providing 720p videos in Japan considering Japan is a leading high tech country.
Do they really have to be quarantined for 14 days? Couldn't they be tested after 5-6 days (recommended time for testing after possible exposure)?
14 days is required. Some male foreign players are training with Japan club teams right now after 14 days quarantined.
right now Japan has prohibited entry by foreign citizens from the following countries:
Thailand, Philippines, USA, Italy, Turkey.
I don't know what exactly going on in Japan. From men's side, players from Taiwan can't enter in Japan as well.
Are there any foreigners already in Japan? At this rate, the VLeague will be all-Japanese.
None of foreign players is in Japan!
That's interesting. I thought it was strictly for the girls. That's Yuki Ishii (and someone else) in the video.
I agree with you that the girls back-burner it, but I don't know if that it's a bad idea
It was old video. I think there was a report years ago saying Nakada thinks robots were not helpful and abandoned it.
As much as im a fan of the THA team, I agreed about the Japanese team having better blocking than THA. Though when it comes to mbs attacking, THA are probably better. Especially Pleumjit, she is probably the world's best under 6 feet mb.
And about Japanese sometimes not able to block the THA,? Has more to do with their tricky setters and the way they play. Always running decoys and one of the world best setter certainly helps.
It's something to do with team blocking training. When you have assumed that you can't block any teams because of height, then they don't spend much time on training the blocking. Instead of, the women's team spend huge amount of time into ground defence training. So Japan always struggle a lot to win even when facing 3rd-tier teams like Azerbaijan or Croatia.
Japan can't block the high ball attacks from Thailand or Taiwan, it's nothing to do with setters. This happened to the youth men's team as well. Men's team U23 lost to Taiwan last year in Asian Championship. The main reason was they can't block the captain of Taiwan although Japan Youth team is higher than Taiwan Youth team.
Japan has robots to block them in training. Why can’t they learn from the robots?
Ask Nakada, she doesn't agree to use robots to train. Only men's team is using robots.
NOBODY, not FIVB, not Thailand and certainly not Taiwan have ever said that Japan cannot block them or any other team for that matter. Only you did. It's a matter of pushing your opinion on the matter despite Japan being miles better than them in that aspect.
Look at the statics, Japan did not do well in blocking even when it faced to Taiwan or Thailand. Also I found your reply is rude and out of manner.
Looks like we will see a lot of usa players in Turkey, since Italy (and most of EU) and China do have nonessential bans in effect
Lots of players have been in Italy or Germany or Poland, at least for men's volleyball is the case. I don't think Italy or most of EU have that kind of ban.
Height still plays a major role no matter how you look at it.
so Japan, Thailand, Taiwan are at similar height, why Japan can't block Thailand & Taiwan? Height is not playing a key factor in here.
because it gives a good understanding of getting to the ball or at least touching it.
Japan’s numbers area always low. It you aren’t touching balls, you can’t expect them to be blocked.
My argument on this will be just watch Japan vs Thailand or Japan vs Taiwan. The height of players in Thailand and Taiwan are similar with Japan. But Japan can't block them as well. You can't say they are lack of height. How to explain those that.
They just lack of training on blocking. The coaches in Japan don't know anything about Team blocking.
The problem with Japan though is that outside hitters are almost damn near interchangeable.
Kurogo, Koga, Ishii, Mayu Ishikawa, Nabeya.
the difference between these is really small on serve receive. Spiking kurogo is probably best. again differences are small.
I think Japan has decent outside hitters, not world class, but they do just fine to me.
The real problems of female team is team blocking. I know people say they are lack of height, but Japan even can't block Thailand well which is shorter than them. Japan should train more in team blocking specially in V.League.
Men’s team has improved in the last couple of years. It has also helped that many players are overseas. Right now other than Kobata, I don’t know of any other Japanese female players that have gone overseas and been successful under Nakata.
After Araki retires, blocking is going to be a nightmare for Japan. Middles are still undersized and really only deflect balls. Also Japanese offense uses the middles less.
Yamada Nichika and Irisawa Mai are hope.
