I dont see why Brazil won't be competitive.. they're returning their most important core pieces, Gabi-Carol-Macris Natalia is getting healthy... Ana Cristina is waiting in the wings. Bergmann will or should be popping around next summer. Biggest question will be at opposite. Rosamaria is serviceable but meh. I have doubts about China. Rumors are they don't want to take WCH 22 seriously, but rather the Asian games/championship... plus they're all injured anyways. CVA is a mess. It would seem that China may not be as dominant as we all thought? Post Rio I would have bet the house that Tokyo and Paris were theirs to lose. It's funny how anything is possible in sport. I was ready to write off Brazil and Russia but they both are proving to have more depth in their programs than I realized.

They will be fine but not in the medal conversation imo "don't have very good middles"

Zhu needs to get healthy first most... and they gotta fix their league... there's no development going on there. LYY is a good first step for them... but I saw that Zhang Changning is considering retirement too? that's just a rumor though. idk how they're going to replace Yan Ni... even Yuan was/is considering a break from the sport. Add in Ding Xia is very clear of the rest of their setters..... I fear that VNL may be a glimpse into future China... they gotta act

Is it too early to predict that? This is VT after all lol. We always too early

Didn’t she not even play for most of the VNL behind Gattaz and Bia I think or am I Getting mixed up?

Thaisa and Fabiana send their regards. I mean they were gone for a bit and she was still sitting Which is why I think a coaching change is in order but alas, Ze is going to probably never leave that post.

We always too early i think the draw will tell a lot... it would be helpful if we had that smh I would pick three of the USA/Brazil/Italy/Netherlands right now if I had to pick.
