Final spots for women at the Olympics
Posted by devo on May 14, 2008
Eight National Teams will gather in the dazzling capital city of Japan from May 17-25 to compete against each other in the Women’s World Olympic Qualification Tournament to vie for the last four tickets to the 2008 Beijing Games.
The round-robin tournament doubles up also as the Asian Women’s Olympic Qualification Tournament and so the best three teams plus the best Asian team (even if any of the best three teams are Asians) will book their berths in the Volleyball Tournament of the Olympic Games.
Host Japan will be joined by Thailand, Korea, Kazakhstan (best-ranked teams at the 2007 Asian Volleyball Championship), Serbia and Poland (beat-ranked teams from Europe), Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico (best-ranked teams from NORCECA). fivb more ~ Japan more
