    Gosh, only 29 yo? I feel like she’s been around for quite a while. Also, she looked so lame during the recent Olympics for only be 29 yo. Her injuries along her NT journey killed her spirit and physicality, I guess…

    Who’s coming up down the pipe? Jenna Grey? I’m a firm believer, though, that a setter like Hancock has still so much to offer to this program. Hope to continue seeing her on further rosters.

    I’ve just noticed Ali Frantti closed or deleted her instagram account. Wondering if this has to do with her recently being cut off from Paris’ roster.

    Spicing this up, since it’s been a while here. To me, based on the 2023 OQT performance and their current physicial conditions shown at foreign leagues, Plummer, Robinson and Carlini are locked in…

    not opposed to this list…

    Santos was great too but I remember Carrillo 's back to back aces many times, especially when she was playing in Uralochka. Carillo, at the age of 16, was best server of the world championship.


    Among non-cuban players, Sokolova or Neslihan comes to my mind. And Godina from early 2000s

    that Russian team from Sydney Olympics, though! 👍🏻

    She is originally a middle of course but in last couple of years she played as Opp. That's why I was confused with her transfer, considering they already have 2 foreign opps

    wow - Nancy back to middle blocker position. It will be nice to see her again playing her attacks in front of the setter. Though I wonder if we’ll see her doing the typical slides plays for such position, which up until the last cuban Olympic generation (2008) , such play wasn’t part of their attack system . Actually, the last Cuban middle blocker I saw making that type of play, was Regla Torres, scoring their last point that led them to their third Olympic medal gold in a row.

    Saw in Sina news that like 6 male 🇨🇳🏐 players (probably all are in NT) are playing overseas (Japan). Why are the female 🇨🇳🏐 players especially those in NT hardly allowed to play overseas? What is the logic behind restricting women from playing abroad? GXY, LYY and YXY have opportunities/ offers to play for foreign clubs for sure.

    I guess the reason is a state that controls everyone and everything = Comunism

    USA won't play. They gave up and Cuba will take their place.

    thank you for sharing this.

    😮 kind of surprised here… did they say the reason as to why? USA has such a huge and competitive pool of athletes to make more than one podium contender team. Still wonderinG why they’d decline to participate.
