The latest standings of the Women's Volleyball World League! The dark horse returned to the top of the list, and the Chinese women's volleyball team fell to third

On June 18, Beijing time, the second week of the Women's World Volleyball League continued. In the latest six matches, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the United States women's volleyball team both suffered their first defeat, so far, the World Women's Volleyball League has no winning team. Due to the two upsets, the ranking of the standings has changed considerably, and the qualification situation has become more confusing. The Polish women's volleyball team returned to the top of the table once more than once, and the Chinese women's volleyball team, Brazil and the United States all achieved a record of 6 wins and 1 loss, with the Chinese women's volleyball team falling from the top of the list after the end of the previous matchday to the third position. The Korean women's volleyball team is still difficult to win, ranking bottom with 7 consecutive defeats, and the Korean women's volleyball team is the only team that has not yet won.

The Polish women's volleyball team, which ranks at the top of the table, has finished all eight matches in the first two weeks. The biggest dark horse since the start of the tournament was unexpectedly upset on the last matchday, losing to the Netherlands, who lost the opening five consecutive games, and was swept by the opponent by a score of 0-3. But in this round of the competition with the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Polish women's volleyball team had the last laugh. Before this match, the Chinese women's volleyball team had won six consecutive victories, and Cai Bin led the team to victory over Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada and Bulgaria. However, against Poland, the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to continue the good form of the previous games, and the Polish women's volleyball team's restrictions on Li Yingying were very successful.

In the case of Li Yingying being "cared for" by the opponent, the rest of the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to stand up in time, Cai Bin's guidance also seemed helpless, several substitutions and adjustments failed to have a good effect, and the only Xu Xiaoting who played a role was quickly replaced after helping the team narrow the point difference. After losing this match, the Polish women's volleyball team returned to the top of the table due to one more game, while the Chinese women's volleyball team fell to third. However, the six-win-one-loss Chinese women's volleyball team has already stepped into the door of the quarterfinals with one foot. Since the ranking of the regular season is related to the matchup situation of the knockout round, the Chinese women's volleyball team still needs to get a higher ranking even if it is worry-free.

The Brazilian women's volleyball team is temporarily ranked second, and since the start of the tournament, the Brazilian women's team has ruled out losing to the Chinese women's volleyball team in the first round, and the team has not lost since then. The Brazilian women's volleyball team is one of the favorites to win the World Women's Volleyball League this year, and at present, except for the absence of captain Gabi, the rest of the main players are basically in the team. The U.S. women's volleyball team, which is also six wins and one loss, ranks fourth, and three of the six wins of the U.S. women's volleyball team are won by playing five games with their opponents, and according to the rules, the winner can only get 2 points after playing a full five games. So with the same number of wins, the ranking of the US women's volleyball team is lower than that of the Chinese women's volleyball team and Brazil.

Turkey, Japan and Germany each won five games, and these three teams also have the initiative in the battle for the last eight places. However, Italy and Serbia behind them have not yet made a difference, and if the main players such as Egnu and Boskovic can return to the team in the last week, Italy and Serbia will become two forces that cannot be ignored and are expected to re-disrupt the quarter-finals. Italy is the reigning champion of the Women's World Volleyball League, while Serbia is the champion of the last two World Championships, but due to the absence of core players, the current rankings of both teams are not ideal, and there is still a lot of pressure to qualify. If Egnu and Boskovic are unable to return in the final week, the prospects of qualifying for the two teams considered favourites before the match will be slim.

The Korean women's volleyball team is the only team to have lost everything, ranking bottom of the 0-7 ranking in the seven matches that have ended. The top four teams of the Tokyo Olympics are now veritable fish belly. Last season, the Korean women's volleyball team lost 12 consecutive games, and if you add three losses in the final stage of the 2021 season, the Korean women's volleyball team has lost 22 consecutive games in this competition. The main reason why the results of the Korean women's volleyball team plummeted was that Kim Soft-kyung withdrew from the national team, and Lee Jae-young and Lee Doyoung were expelled from the national team, and the strength of the Korean women's volleyball team fell off a cliff.
