Just realized AP and Rebecca didn’t even lose a set in Xiamen and lost only one set in The Hague.

This is their 4th medal of the season. 1 gold in a 3*, 2 golds in a 4* and 1 silver in a 4*.
But... they’re still in qualifiers.
600+800+800+720 is 2920 entry points.

Fantastic gold medal match won by Brazil, 25-23, 26-24. AP with some key blocks to spark a comeback from down 19-15 in the first. Rebecca had the transition kills to win the second. The Czechs played well but missed way too many serves. These two teams seem to be clearly the best in the world right now. And between The Hague and Xiamen, AP and Rebecca have won 13 straight FIVB matches! Yeah...This team is similar to a team I remember that went in to win 3 straight Olympic Gold Medals. They just play a dominant complete match, match after match. They don’t get rattled and they keep coming after you. Man, has the landscape of BVB changed since RIO 2016 or what? Both on the Men’s & Women’s sides.

Seems like the entry points system needs to be tweaked a bit. Either allow your most recent results immediately without a grace period or discount less relevant results from 6+ months ago. At least they have a pretty substantial lead in the Olympic qualification rankings.

They are a fun team to watch. I already like them better than Agatha & Duda. I hope they qualify for Tokyo.

They’ll still be in qualifiers come Itapema, aka their home sand. But when Jinjiang rolls around, there should be some shuffling between the Brazilian teams from MD to Q and CQ.
My guess is that AP/Rebecca will move into MD and Carol/Maria will fall into Q.
