(for the women anyways) |

For Rio, they had coverage from CBC Sports or an app like it. As far as I know, there is not any signup, you just have to be in Canada I believe |

I’m really curious to see how Italy will perform at the Olympics. Yes, Egonu is otherworldly, but Italy as a team is pretty inconsistent. In 2018 when they got 2nd at the world championships, they went five with Japan who is quite a bit better now, and that is a potential QF meeting. Mix in the possibility of local fans and that can be very dangerous.
In 2019, they were swept by Turkey and lost to the Chinese B team in the VNL final round. Then later in 2019 at the European Championships, they had some really high error matches that resulted in a loss to Poland and a really messy win against Russia.
I thought they looked fantastic for the majority of the World Championships in 2018. But I don’t think they’ve looked as good since then. The injury to L. Bosetti certainly didn’t help, but they aren’t going to have her start at the Olympics anyways. I would really like to see them in the semis, even win if the US doesn’t. But since they’ve been inconsistent in the past, i wonder how their performance will be.

I hope Serbia and Italy meet up in the QF's and one gets eliminated early.
I know it's wishful thinking, but it would serve them right for sending B-squads to the VNL. At least China sent their A-team for 2 weeks, I'll give them credit for that.

Teams that don't send their A players in pre-Olympic tournaments tend not to do so great at the Olympics or at least they achieved a result below their expectations. So your "hope" that Italy and Serbia bombs is quite possible and does have precedents. |
