I couldn't find the thread so I made this one.
I think it may be time to rank Italy as part of the Paris final four. With the emergence of Lubian, Fahr and now Nawkalor, the Italian Chiaka, Italy has the best MB trio in the world and it will be seen as an on court advantage. Watching Antropova in the Italian League championship finals, it's clear she is reaching for inclusion into the Big Three Club. Is it possible to have both her and Egonu on the court at the same time? In the fashion of Karakurt and Vargas for Turkey. Scary, if possible. Either way, the best OP combo right now.
The VNL's should tell us who's building their team kumbaya the earlist. If Italy sorts its coaching out to someone with the skill level of Santerelli then I feel we see them in the final four of both events.
I'm wondering if this years VNL final four can be seen as precurser to the Paris final four based on the Tokyo quadrent results. What do the volleyball historians say?

Italy had promising rosters in past Olympics as well. But they all underperformed for one reason or another. Seems almost like there is curse on them in the Olympics. Then again, curses can be broken, if the Red Sox can overcome "The Curse of the Bambino", then I suppose Italy can too.  |

What do the volleyball historians say? they say that counting Serbia out of the final four when they haven’t missed the podium in a target event since like 2015 is wild but to your major point yea Italy is looking pretty scary rn |

Italy needs to get they diva in check if they want to have a serious run at the olympics. She seems so unbothered/uninterested these days.

That double sub is gonna be a monster…. 9 straight front row rotations of Egonu antropova is crazy look I was the first to say don't count Italy out but then again I'm always reminded of history and history has said that Italy can't get it together for the olympics. This isn't the first or probably the last time Italy has been or had scary potential coming into the olympics ... they flop harder than Wolosz on a funday Sunday. |

History has also said that Brazil and the USA have dominated the Olympic scene like no other since 2008. The olympics has become, who can flop the least, I swear.
