With less than a month to go until the start of the Paris Olympics, there is a lot of interest from both the media and fans in terms of which team will reach the top. Some websites predicted the probability of winning the women's volleyball event in the Paris Olympics, and in terms of this prediction, Italy ranked first, and the Chinese women's volleyball team ranked sixth.
The website's predictions are as follows: Italy has the highest probability of winning the championship, followed by Turkey, Brazil, the United States, Serbia, China, Poland, Japan, the Netherlands, Dominica, France and Kenya. Judging from this prediction, it is basically in line with the positioning of each team in the hearts of fans, but the low ranking of the United States and Poland seems to be deflated.
The Italian women's volleyball team is confirmed to be the strongest team in the Olympic Games, and also won the World League championship. However, Italy has always had an "Olympic curse", that is, not reaching the semi-finals. No matter how weak the opponent is drawn in eight and four, he will lose in an upset and be out. I wonder if Italy will be able to overcome this problem at this Olympics?
The Turkish women's volleyball team was ranked second. To be honest, this ranking is still a bit on the high side, after all, they have only won one game and lost five games against the world's top seven teams in the World League. The problem for Turkey now is that with Vargas being figured out, Karakurt and Baladin's main offensive line cannot give effective support to the left flank, resulting in the team finally becoming a little attack, and it is easier for each team to block.
The Chinese team ranked sixth, which is more in line with "self-positioning". According to the strength of the current team, the Chinese team does not have the hard power to stand on the highest podium, but after the return of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, no team or no one can know what kind of height the team will reach, and each team will study the Chinese team more thoroughly.
In a sentence, "the Chinese team is expected to play the role of seed killer". If the team's run-in goes smoothly and Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning recover well, the Chinese women's volleyball team will not only have the possibility of getting on the podium, but also the possibility of winning the championship again, otherwise the team's weaknesses will be magnified, let alone on the podium, I am afraid it will be difficult to qualify from the group.
Defending champions The United States are second only to Italy, Turkey and Brazil in terms of winning the tournament, and the U.S. women's volleyball team is a difficult team to understand, and although they have not achieved good results in the World League, they have been able to do well every time they participate in the Olympics. In this Olympic Games, the United States has only fine-tuned a small number of positions with the Tokyo Olympic champion team as the team. If the U.S. can fix Larsson's card wheel problem in the front row, they still have hope of defending their title.
Poland are a new powerhouse this cycle, and under the leadership of Lavarini, they are already capable of wrestling with the strong teams, and they are ranked seventh behind China. Poland and Japan are both distinctively distinct teams, and if they can bring out their own characteristics, they will have a chance to win, but if they are suppressed by their opponents, they will not have much to do. The rest of the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, France and Kenya are in the role of escort.
