🏐 In Volleyball Explained Olympics Special (Day 11, men's quarterfinals) with co-host Victor Petrov, coach in the Olympic Center for development of young talents in Germany, we discussed the 1/4-finals in Tokyo 2020:
✅ France defeated Poland 3:2 - the French team playing as a team, the influence of Antoine Brizard, the show of Earvin Ngapeth, the issues of Poland with the second outside hitter, are the Polish setters actually good enough, are Bartosz Kurek and Wilfredo Leon enough, will Vital Heynen stay as a head coach of Poland?
✅ Argentina eliminated Italy 3:2 - Osmany Juantorena retired from the national team, Luciano de Cecco being great again, Argentina found their natural opposite in the name of Bruno Lima, Ivan Zaytsev underperforming;
✅ Brazil is in the semifinals after beating Japan 3:0 - height and power trumps flexibility - Yoandy Leal, Ricardo Lucarelli, Wallace marching on;
✅ Russia dominates Canada 3:0 - no chances for the North Americans, routine win for Russia, great Dmitriy Volkov and Maxim Mikhaylov.
Enjoy! 😍
