Unless the rule changed after Week 2 of VNLs, it's something that is still very subjectively enforced. I maintain that it would make a LOT of sense to be extremely strict in the leadup to the Olympics to scare teams away from pushing the limits, then to back off when you get there to produce the best product in Paris. Did you or trollhunter catch the double contact call at 24 all in the 1st set of the Canada-Netherlands game? What do you think about it? |

As long as it's mathematically possible for Canada to jump the NL for that last Olympic spot, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope that they can sweep France and Korea can sweep the NL. Heck, I was shocked when I saw that Canada upset Japan so I'm clinging to any miniscule hope that Korea can catch the NL off guard lol.

I thought so too. That happened to Canada twice in crucial times (late in the sets against Serbia and Netherlands). I haven’t really seen FIVB get strict on doubles, so both of those calls especially at critical times in the set were very surprising to me. |

That sinking feeling when you look at the length of the replay and you just know things are going to go badly.  okay off topic but I wish they would hide the length of the replays been saying that for YEARS. Even suggested it on every “user survey” they send me |

Hate to see it called there but… |

Just watched the replay. I know i joke a lot but i do feel bad for Canada, coming this close and especially after that fightback against Japan yesterday.
Im not sure Netherlands is going to be able to be competitive in Paris at all. Theyre a nice team but they really lack the firepower to compete with any of the top teams.
On the bright side, now that Rosamaria is playing regularly, we now have someone to fill her usual role of supermodel benchwarmer.

I think it may have been a cumulative moment - but the timing clearly sucked. |

I feel like referees are more likely to call it on a non-setter, probably because theyre paying more attention |

And if so thats the one im recalling. If we are talking about the one on Jost i wholeheartedly agree that i hated that call |

That was a different double-contact call. The Van Ryk one was at an awful time. It's just a little surprising to me as I feel like the FIVB has been letting everything go. I've seen some egregious contacts on the men's side especially. |

Jost's was also going over the net to the other side (her's was the third contact). |
