On May 17, after the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Tokyo Olympic champion United States women's volleyball team 3-1, the Olympic qualification seemed to be within reach. However, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and they are often the closest to victory, and they are most likely to capsize in the gutter. The Chinese women's volleyball team should be careful of the opponent in the next game, she is the Canadian team that the Chinese team will face in the early morning of May 18.
In the women's volleyball qualifying match for the Paris Olympics held in Ningbo, China in September last year, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost 2-3 to the Canadian team and missed the Olympic qualification ahead of schedule.
The Canadian team in that tournament lost 2-3 to the Dominican team before winning against the Chinese team. Later, the Dominican team won the group and qualified in advance, while the Canadian team won the third place in the group, one place ahead of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the fourth place.
However, on the morning of May 17, in the second round of the World Women's Volleyball League in Brazil, Canada defeated the Dominican team 3-0. Yes, you read that right, not 3-2, not 3-1, the Dominican team did not get a single game, the scores of the three games were: 25-20, 25-21, 25-22.
What is amazing is that the Canadian team is leading in technical indicators such as hair and blocking, showing strong strength, and the Dominican Republic is not unjust at all.
It must be noted that this Dominican team basically played with the main force and did not make any reservations.
In the Tokyo cycle, the Canadian team is still a belly team that sees who loses. But the Paris cycle began, and they began to rise. In the 2023 Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to them 2-3, but they didn't find that they improved so fast, and they were a little underestimated and lost unexpectedly.
Just nine months later, Canada went from a 3-2 defeat to a 3-0 win over Dominica, and it was clear that they had improved too quickly.
Some people may have noticed that in the match between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the United States team, the Canadian women's volleyball team sat in the stands to watch, which shows how much they want to beat the Chinese women's volleyball team again.
It is hoped that the Chinese women's volleyball team will attach great importance to the Canadian team and avoid an unexpected defeat because of the light enemy again.
