It's also impossible to search for certain teams because Women's VNL is happening too and most of the coverage is about their matches 😂😂😂
(They are roasting Turkey on the women's side)

Hmm. I tried as best as I could by searching Twitter. Those are the only official rosters I've found so far. But I have to get back to work. If anyone else finds official Week 1 rosters for other teams, please post! No worries, you are doing great! Thank you for trying to keep up with all of this. We will help when we can/see. |

(Sorry I haven't finished watching yet so I don't know who won.) If they can keep up that service pressure, pass just well enough to spread the ball around, and if Atanasijević remains in his current form, they can probably make the VNL final rounds. With other teams that were in contention with them to grab one of the final Olympic spots missing key players, I could see Serbia snatching a place in Paris. |

Tatsunori Otsuka - OH 6. Akihiro Yamauchi - MB 7. Kenta Takanashi - OH 8. Masahiro Sekita - S 10. Kentaro Takahashi - MB 11. Shoma Tomita - OH 13. Tomohiro Ogawa - L 15. Masato Kai - OH 20.

With other teams that were in contention with them to grab one of the final Olympic spots missing key players, I could see Serbia snatching a place in Paris. oof are they not likely to make Paris as it stands now ? They could but they'd be a LAST ONE IN scenario. Here's the breakdown from mnbadger: One of the, if not most, compelling storylines for this tournament is Olympic qualification. These are the current world rankings and ranking points of the participating teams. The teams in bold are the VNL teams that haven't qualified. The * indicates a team that would qualify if the world rankings were frozen pre-VNL. 1: Poland - 421.14 2: USA - 390.91 3: Italy - 342.43*4: Japan - 340.30 5: Brazil - 338.19 6: Argentina - 314.35*7: Slovenia - 307.12*8: France - 306.80 9: Serbia - 253.22*10: Germany - 249.10 11: Cuba - 236.9612: Canada - 222.17 13: Netherlands - 214.5814: Turkiye - 210.7315: Iran - 207.8220: Bulgaria - 160.07The 12th team I believe is locked in to be Egypt, unless the CAVB is holding an event for world ranking points. A reach goal I have this week is to list out the matches that the nonqualified teams have during the VNL. What I'm also interested to see play out is to what degree the qualified teams use the different legs as rest, prep, or whatever. |
