Sadly, I have been convinced of this for months, too. Bosetti C has never been at her sister's level (especially in blocking) but recently she has been struggling tremendously to do what she should be able to do very well, which is to use opposing blocking to her advantage. It will all depend on how good they are defensively and hold up to the pressure. However for me the medals will be competed for by Serbia, Turkey and Brazil. Right behind to take advantage of missteps are Japan, China, USA and Poland (if they improve defensively). Italy on paper has its chances but does not have the continuity and focus that the others have. It could also end up on the podium as eliminated by the Netherlands. your realize your ladies are the odds-on favourites Italy is 42. The answer is known but everyone has forgotten the question. They may be favored however only at the end of the tournament will it be known for which place.

Fantastic game by _all_ the opposites, who led in KP over every single middle. Especially impressive stats by Egonu, who errored only 4 times. This is the most error-free I've ever seen from her.

smart choice, but potentially robbing us of valuable gossip

regardless of whether there are fans in the room (pun not intended) or air conditioners, it is much better for athletes to live in an environment that is not reminiscent of the Olympics. Too much pressure. Making it feel like just another tournament is a great idea.

I don’t know if I trust an Italian volleyball fan to tell me the way to make a team perform its best at the Olympics… 😉 😚

I don’t know if I trust an Italian volleyball fan to tell me the way to make a team perform its best at the Olympics… 😉 😚 It's not me saying it, it's written in the article, "So the Azzurre will experience the tournament with the same dynamics as a World Cup or European Championships between hotel, training gym and palasport for official matches.
Not so Ferdinando De Giorgi's Azzurri, who instead will be regularly accommodated at the Olympic Village."
However between the vicissitudes of the men's and the possibilities of the women's, Italian volleyball has put so much pressure on Olympic medaling that it is not at all easy to handle.

The second Serbia Italy friendly was a draw 2-2 and every single set was decided by 2 points. Looks like for Serbia the top scorers were Lozo with 18 Boskovic with 15 Popovic with 13 and Kurtagic with 12. I don’t have stats for the Italians but it looks like both teams played more of their benches today
