Doing this in adult men's play is highly recommended. Opponent reactions vary from bewilderment to blind rage, but are guaranteed to be hilarious. |

Lol...Even Sunderland is mad that China isn't bringing their top players
Although he mentioned JLP didn't travel because of a health issue.

Are any of these girls playing for China even in contention for a RIO spot? Or is this all their side players?

It's Sunderland, I think, and some British dude doing the commentating. And the one I think is Sunderland had some choice words for China sending their B team. He also mentioned that Jenny Lang Ping is sick?!? That's no good.

Oh, that was China's backup setter. Their starter was injured. Which is a bummer for her, but what a good opportunity for their backup!

Quite a few of them will be on the Rio roster.
The setter #16 (who got hurt early in the match yesterday) is their backup setter right now. She would make the Rio roster (and play in the dub-sub) if Wei (their best setter, but who's getting a little older) can't get healthy.
Their opposite #9 is their third-best outside (she's a good hitter but not a great passer) and has been playing some opposite in the dub-sub since their normal backup opposite got hurt. She'll definitely be in Rio, and will play some, but I doubt she'll start.
Middle #17 isn't bad. She's probably their third (maybe 4th) middle right now. She could actually push for a starting spot as they've pulled Yang (their normal slide-hitting middle who plays next to the setter) in quite a few matches. She's not a great attacker but she's a pretty physical blocker. With some of the offense they have on the pins, she might start seeing more playing time if they want her blocking in there.
Outside #19 could make Rio as their 4th outside, but I wouldn't expect her to play much.
They have an outside on this roster Xiatong Liu (#21) who hasn't played yet, but who was their 3rd OH at World Championships (when they pulled Zhu Ting in the finals, that's who they put in and she actually helped carry them to that set they won) and who seems pretty decent, but for some reason isn't playing much right now. She could be in contention for their 3rd/4th outside spots.

He also mentioned that Jenny Lang Ping is sick?!? That's no good. Sunderland is the very blunt one, who isn't afraid to speak his mind about how a team's playing or various other topics; he tells it like it is. Plus he makes any match nearly ten times better to watch in my opinion lol |
