Interesting... I believe I read that alternates for gymnastics would be traveling to Tokyo and posters on the women's forum said that the alternates for VB would travel too but I don't know what the official rules are because that was never confirmed. Besides USA, I haven't seen any roster release mention alternates for VB but I'm assuming they have them just in case? Still unsure if the alternates would travel to Tokyo tho. I looked through the French social media account and couldn't really see any of the (presumed) alternates either. Brazil has two alternates (Flavio and Gabriel Vaccari) expected to travel with the team to Tokyo. Same with the Serbian Women's NT, 14 players will fly to Japan.

Nice to see Michieletto on the roster. Kinda feels weird not to see Lanza. Tbh, I think Iran/Canada/Japan could beat Italy if they’re playing at their best.

Whoa! No Lanza?? Happy for Michieletto, though! I knew Nellie was getting cut, especially after that VNL performance 😒

no Lanza might be an issue for their passing...gotta feel for him he's dedicated so much time to the team.

Russia’s 14 player list left for contention on the Tokyo Roster: S: Igor Kobzar, Pavel Pankov Opp: Maxim Mikhaylov, Victor Poletaev MBs: Ilya Vlasov, Artem Volvich, Ilyas Kurkaev, Ivan Yakovlev OHs: Denis Bogdan, Dmitry Volkov, Egor Kliuka, Yaroslav Podlesnykh L: Evgeny Baranov, Valentin Golubev Muserskiy will not go to Tokyo due to relapse of an elbow injury. I don’t know a full picture of Yakovlev’s health status, but unless they take 4 middles it seems like he won't make the final cut. I read he recovered from his injury but I'm not sure if he is at 100%, plus I don't recall him playing during VNL when he joined the team in Italy. If he’s at 100%, I’d take him over Volvich tbh Update: Baranov and Vlasov were cut. I'm kinda disappointed in the Vlasov cut (I thought Volvich should've been on the chopping block tbh but he's still a solid choice I guess), but I'm happy that Yakovlev seems to be at 100% because I think he is so dynamic + quick. Thus the final roster is: S: Igor Kobzar, Pavel Pankov Opp: Maxim Mikhaylov, Victor Poletaev MBs: Artem Volvich, Ilyas Kurkaev, Ivan Yakovlev OHs: Denis Bogdan, Dmitry Volkov, Egor Kliuka, Yaroslav Podlesnykh L: Valentin Golubev Here's the Russian line up with picture. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ8VfScMNHK

Alternates can’t stay at the olympic village or official workout/training premises. If a team wants to bring an alternate, they have to he housed somewhere.

Thibault Rossard over Bultor Balaso in place of Colaci Vlasov instead of Volvich Loepkky rather than Marshall Patch not Ensing

^^^ I just want Rossard in, nothing to do with what is logical for Team France.

Very surprised that Saadat was cut. He was very explosive in the VNL. But he's young. There would be other chances in the future. In Paris probably. If he does get in the roster in 2024, I hope they update his uniform. I think his uniform is too small. His belly button always shows when he spikes.
