Brankica is not playing in the matches against Italy according to Serbian news (and a Brazilian I saw on Twitter) Her participation in Tokyo is questionable. That makes Serbia questionable then |

That makes Serbia questionable then They already were lol. If Brankica isn't healthy and they still take her... well she's not a better option than Lazovic/Blagojevic/whoever else. Add in they dont have Veljkovic.... Go Brazil lol |

That makes Serbia questionable then Pool A is so questionable. I don’t think Brayelin Martinez will be 100% in Tokyo either. She will play, but who knows to what level. No twins, possibly no Brankica… just a whole mess. |

Terzic called the Dominicans (a translated) tall, strong, and awkward lol
He says he hopes everything will depend on what they (serbia) do in that match.... if only it was so easy with the dominicans lol

Olympics looks like this now, IMO: 1 China 2 Italy 3 USA 4 Brazil 5 Serbia |

If Serbia don't beat Brazil they are almost guaranteed to crossover with USA/Italy/China in the QFs.

Sounds perfect? Dominicana is such a wildcard. Their consistency issues mean they have a very hard time to win Pool A, even with Serbia weakened. In an Olympic format though, a one off QF match, I don’t think they can be written off. Heck the B team from DR gave China a scare. |

the ones not selected to tokyo/alternates (the 5 including Lowe, Adams, Kingdon, Cuttino, and Hentz) aren't even in the gym with the team (who returned back today, or some of them did) so much for #23strong lol Who told you this? |

I’m predicting that USA Men and Women’s Team will not medal in the Tokyo Olympics.
It’s not that they’re weak; there are just better teams (China, Italy, Serbia in women’s; Brazil, Poland, Russia, France in men’s)
I’ll be glad to be proven wrong though.
