With Brazil's victory over the United States and China's defeat to Canada, the women's volleyball World League standings and world rankings have also undergone some changes, with the Chinese team dropping from the original top to fourth, Brazil winning three consecutive victories to become the first, followed by Japan. When the Chinese women's volleyball team was deducted 11 points, the world ranking also fell to seventh, and the gap with Japan narrowed, and the competition for places became more and more intense.

World League standings: Brazil women's volleyball team ranks first with 3 wins and 9 points, Japan ranks second with 3 wins and 8 points, Poland, China, Canada and Italy are all ranked 3-6 with 2 wins and 6 points, Turkey ranks seventh with 1 win and 4 points, and Serbia, the Netherlands, Dominica, the United States and Germany are ranked 8-12 with a small score difference of 1 win and 3 losses. Thailand, France, Bulgaria and South Korea are ranked 13-16 with 0 wins and 0 points.

World rankings: After being deducted 11.01 points, the Chinese women's volleyball team returned to the original point and ranked seventh with 328.69 points, while Poland and Italy took the opportunity to overtake, Poland ranked fifth with 341.02 points, Italy ranked sixth with 333.13 points, and Turkey, Brazil, the United States and Servi ranked first, second, third and fourth. Japan narrowed the gap with China in eighth place, the Netherlands in 10th place and Canada in 11th place.

The battle for Olympic places: With the Chinese women's volleyball team being deducted huge points, Canada added huge points, although the world ranking has not changed much, but after the points gap narrowed, the battle for Olympic places has entered a white heat. There are still 5 Olympic quotas undecided, because there will be 1 priority place in Africa and Asia, so the Chinese women's volleyball team will have 2 modes to compete for places, the first mode is to compete directly with the Japanese team, and the second mode is to compete with the Netherlands, Japan, and Canada.

If the Chinese women's volleyball team wants to represent Asia in the Olympic Games as the No. 1 in Asia, it must be ranked higher than Japan in the world after the World League sub-tournament. Now the Chinese team is ranked seventh with 328.69 points, and Japan is ranked eighth with 323.20 points, and the gap between the two teams is only 5.49 points. This point gap is just one game, and if the Chinese team loses to the lower-ranked team, this gap will be smoothed out immediately, so the Chinese women's volleyball team cannot afford to lose the next game. The same is true for the Japanese team, who must avoid being upset.

In the second mode, the gap between the Chinese women's volleyball team and other teams is also narrowing, with the Netherlands scoring 289.31 points and Canada 286.92 points, and the two main opponents still have a gap of about 40 points with the Chinese team. Although 40 points seems like a lot, if you calculate it according to 1 game plus 10 points, the Netherlands and Canada also have a chance to surpass.

The Netherlands and Canada also have a direct competition relationship, Canada is still 3 points away from the Netherlands will enter the top 10 in the world, and in the case of 5 places left and Asia and Africa will each hold 1 place, entering the top 10 in the world is equivalent to getting the Olympic quota. So the battle for Olympic places between Canada and the Netherlands is just as exciting as the battle between China and Japan.
