The Turkish women's volleyball team has a total of 35 people in this training list, and the first team is mainly composed of the main members of the national team, and will participate in the World Women's Volleyball League held next month under the leadership of head coach Gudeti. As a reserve force, the second team will participate in daily training and study with the first team, while the Turkish Volleyball Association also said: "In the event of an injury or infection with the new crown virus, the young and potential players of these two teams will have the opportunity to enter the first team and participate in international competitions." ”
Affected by the new crown epidemic, last year, the Turkish women's volleyball team did not formally set up a national team training, and their most recent international event was the Olympic Defeat In January 2020, and finally successfully qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games. After 16 months, the group of players who broke through the siege from the defeat regrouped and launched an attack on Tokyo.
In addition, Cuban receiver Vargas officially became a Turkish citizen two weeks ago and was awarded the No. 5 shirt for the national team. However, according to the regulations, Vargas needs to wait at least two years before he can represent Turkey in international competitions.

This week, the Italian women's volleyball team announced the first batch of national team training list, and the 12 selected players are currently training in Cavalese, and the training will end on May 2.

Due to the late end of serie A, the Conegliano women's volleyball team still has the task of the Champions League final, so the training of the Italian women's volleyball team is mainly to examine the rookie and train the depth of the bench. Most of the players selected for the training camp are newcomers who have performed well in the league, but also include players such as Guella and Rubian who have experienced national brand. Selected for the national team in the Olympic year, these reserve forces need to seize the opportunity to show and improve their strength as much as possible.
On May 1, the Conegliano women's volleyball team, led by national players Egnu and De Ginaro, will usher in the Champions League final against the Turkish Super League champion Wakif Bank. As Italy's number one star, Egnu has been in excellent competitive form over the past period, not only setting a new personal scoring record twice, but also being more aggressive in her serve and attack than ever before. With only 90 days to go until the Olympics, Egnu remains the focus of all his opponents.
Russia
The Russian Volleyball Association also announced the 2021 women's volleyball national team roster this week, and the first batch of players participating in the training camp arrived at the Novogorsk Training Center on the same day to officially open the Tokyo Olympic preparation plan.
The training plan of the Russian women's volleyball team is divided into two phases, the first phase is mainly to investigate young players, and the main forces such as Goncharova and Stateva will report to the national team on May 1.

Compared with the big list in 2020, the Russian women's volleyball team has not changed much in this year's Olympic preparation lineup, and what people are most looking forward to is the "twin star" combination of Kosheleva and Goncharova. Speaking of these two excellent side attacks, the Russian women's volleyball coach Buzato said: "Goncharova is the core of the team, just as Zhu Ting is to the Chinese team. At the same time, he also said that there are high expectations for kosheleva, but there is no guarantee that anyone will be selected for the Olympic list.
It is worth mentioning that Parubetz, who was accidentally injured at the end of last year, also appeared in the big list. The 26-year-old's main attacker plays an important role in the Russian first pass system. In December 2020, Parubetz was reimbursed for a league season due to a ruptured cruciate ligament and was subsequently operated on in Italy. After 4 months of rehabilitation, Parubetz is currently in good shape and has started training with the ball.
Korea
The Korean Volleyball Association recently updated the national team roster for the 2021 VNL, and three members of the team, Kang Suhui, Wenminghua and Lin Myung-yu, will leave the team due to injury and be replaced by Han Duohui, Lee Do-hyun and Lu Shuying.

A week after the end of the Korean Women's Volleyball League, the national team has announced the training roster and began to prepare for the upcoming VNL and Tokyo Olympic Games. However, because Italian head coach Ravarini cannot return to South Korea until the end of this month, the training of the Korean women's volleyball team during this period was carried out under the leadership of the assistant coach.
In last year's Olympic final, the South Korean women's volleyball team Nick Thailand, while qualifying for the main tournament, also avoided the more competitive Group B and lived with Japan, Serbia, Brazil, Dominica and Kenya. But what people did not expect was that in February this year, the national players Li Zaiying and Li Duoying were indefinitely banned by the local volleyball association due to the school bullying incident, which damaged the overall strength of the Korean women's volleyball team.
In the Korean League this season, GS Gas women's volleyball captain Lee So-young and Kim Soft-kyung won the "best main attack". The 26-year-old Li Suying was balanced in attack and defense, and while leading GS Gas to successfully win the league championship, he was also elected MVP in the final. It is reported that thanks to the highlight performance of the league, Lee Su-young once became one of the most sought-after main attacks in South Korea, and many clubs even invited them at high prices. It can be seen that in the absence of Li Zaiying, Li Suying is likely to be the best candidate for the golden soft scenery diagonal.
However, Li Zaiying and Li Duoying were not idle during the ban. The sisters will reportedly sue for falsehoods in the previously accused school bullying.
