The first round of the women's volleyball group stage of the Paris Olympics has been fully completed, and the latest points and qualification situation have also been released. In terms of current points, Serbia, China, Brazil and Poland have the initiative to advance, Japan is at the bottom of the quarter-finals, and if they cannot win against Brazil, they may be eliminated from the group, and United States will play the next round of life and death.
Group A standings: Serbia 1-0 with 3 points, China with 1-0 with 2 points, United States with 0-1 with 1 point, France with 0-1 with 0 points. Due to the weakness of the France team, China and United States are likely to take all three points, as long as the Chinese team wins France 3-0 or 3-1, the points will come to 5 points, even if they lose to Serbia in the end, they can also advance to the quarterfinals.
United States women's volleyball team's next round of direct talks with Serbia will determine their place in the quarterfinals. If United States loses 0-3 or 1-3, the United States will have a maximum of 4 points, not only will China be guaranteed to enter the shortlist in advance, but they will also fall into danger, and they can only compete with the third place in Group B and Group C for the third place with the two best results. Serbia is in a good situation now, but if it loses to China and United States in a row, it will be overturned.
Group B points Brazil and Poland are both 1-0 with 3 points, while Japan and Kenya have 0 points with 0 wins and 1 loss. Kenya in Group B is a fish belly, whether it is Brazil, Poland, or even Japan, they will win all three points 3-0. Japan have not yet scored points, and if they want to finish in the top two of the group, they can only fight Brazil, otherwise they can only fall to the third place in the group. If you are to finish third in the group, United States and Netherlands will both have one point, while Japan will have 0 points, so they will be at a disadvantage.
If the Japan women's volleyball team does not win the match against Brazil and loses 0-3 or 1-3, they will almost say goodbye to the Olympic quarterfinals. According to the 12 teams in the standings, Japan is currently in ninth place, behind United States and Netherlands, and is the worst of the three groups with the worst results, and Japan must take points or win from Brazil.
Group C Italy 1-0 with 3 points, Turkey with 1-0 with 2 points, Netherlands with 0 wins and 1 loss with 1 point, and Dominica 0-1 with 0 points. Group C qualification is the most uncertain, as all four teams have strong strength, with Netherlands and Dominica being the spoilers. On paper, Italy and Turkey should be the top two in the group, and Netherlands have the upper hand and advantage in the battle for third place in the group after getting one point, and if they can win Dominica and play another five games with Italy, they are expected to advance to the quarterfinals.
The overall rankings are as follows: Brazil and Serbia both have 1 win and 0 losses and 3 points and both won 3-0, temporarily ranking 1-2 with a game point gap; Italy and Poland have 3 points with 1 win and 0 losses, and the game score is 3-1 so they are in third and fourth place; China and Turkey are in fifth and sixth place with 1 win and 0 losses and 2 points; Netherlands and United States are seventh and eighth with 0 wins and 1 loss; Japan and Dominica have 0 wins and 1 loss, 0 points and 1-3 losses, ranking ninth and tenth; France and Kenya lost 3-0 to finish 11th and 12th respectively.
