My fearless forecast for the podium is: Gold: USA Silver: China Bronze: South Korea IMO, Brazil does not have the form to contend for the GOLD  |

I think, Italy will be beaten by Brazil in Quarter Finals and both Russia and Brazil will be run over by the dark horse South Korea~ IMO  |

Hell of a prediction EDIT: well the first half at least. We'll have to see how the tiny Koreans match up against the Russian skyscrapers |

Do not count Russia or China out. I think both may be medaling.

The Great Karnack sayeth:
Group A:
Pretty easy; only question is, who wins between
Russia and Italy. I'll take Russia, so Pool finishes:
1. Russia
2. Italy
3. Japan
4. Dominican
In Pool B, China over Korea, Brazil over China, Korea over Turkey,.
Since Turkey took Brazil to 5, Brazil ends in 4th. Since China defeats Korea, I think head to head when there are ties, so China second.
1. USA
2. Shina
3. Korea
4. Brazil
Let's say the flip comes out 2 v. 3. So quarters would be:
USA v. Dominican
Italy v. Korea
Russia v. Brazil
China v. Japan
I got USA v. Italy in one semi
Russia v. China in the other
Italy over China for bronze
Got to go with USA over Russia for gold.

The quarterfinal random draw will have a big impact on silver & bronze. I'm going with Italy & US to get medals (US winning Gold), but after that, gotta see the QFs.

South Korea indeed knocked out Italy~ I was thinking of a set to 5 but instead it was only 3-1.
I had not expected Japan to knock off China though so I did not have them in the podium forecast. Most likely it would be
G- USA
S- Japan
B- South Korea
