Lang Ping had mentioned “playing in Rimini” I think it would take an extraordinary circumstance for China to not be there Yeah I agree. Like I said, China place greater emphasis on their women team. The men's team is in the "would-be-nice-to-be-there-but-not-essential" category. Interesting role reversal I have to admit, since women sports tend to come off poorer compared to their men counterparts in many areas. But in this particular case, its actually the opposite. Bottom line, the women are in the Olympics and the men are not, so that determines the priority. |

S: Ofelia Malinov, Alessia Orro, Francesca Bosio, Rachele Morello, Ilaria Battistoni Opp: Paola Egonu, Camila Mingardi, Indre Sorokaite, Sylvia Nwakalor, OH: Alessia Gennari, Caterina Bosetti, Anastasia Guerra, Elena Pietrini, Rebecca Piva, Giulia Melli, Sofia D’Odorico, Loveth Omoruyi MB: Cristina Chirichella, Anna Danesi, Sarah Fahr, Marina Lubian, Sara Bonifacio, Alessia Mazzaro, Eleonora Furlan, Federica Squarcini L: Monica De Gennaro, Chiara De Bortoli, Eleonora Fersino No Folie or Sulla So this is just an OG training roster right? Because the VNL roster was already set? I mean I love me some Pietrini but sis isn't at Sylla's termination level yet. But in theory with Pietrini, Bosetti, and De Gennaro Italy's passing should be consistent. Folie is a big offensive loss though. |

FIVB wanted a list of like 30 which will be trimmed down before the bubble |

Folie is a 30-year-old, perpetually-injured middle, and Italy has other good options. I'm surprised she's not on the training roster but also not surprised she ended up on the outside looking in.

At the end of the day, to be brutally honest, does Italy really need her for VNL and more importantly, Tokyo? That's the answer right there. |

PLEASE. I think her strengths really match up well with international ball so hopefully she meshes well. She can set USA fast Hell, Lilley should be there instead of Poulter IMO. Your opinion is based on what? |

I want to see our 30-person roster. Especially as more people are getting vaccinated, would love to see college-age players like Eggleston, Butler, Stumler, Lilley, Nuneviller, Hord, etc (there's a lot) do some training with the NT even if they don't go to VNL. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there already was a training list announced last season that was canceled because of COVID right? |

But I would be shocked to see any college player thats not Lilley or Curry (they're technically on the B/C team) to be listed... they've had a long season |

More people = more chances of getting COVID. I assume they’d want to limit the girls training to 18-22.

Especially since college players don't condition to go hard for this long usually. |

NGL i want to see Lilley in the VNL instead of Hancock. Uh Hancock is vastly superior right now. Even considering NCAA, Micha has accomplished definitely more at PSU. |
