So that's it. Congratulations to Brazil, Canada, Germany, Japan, Poland, and the USA, who won the tickets for next year's most important tournament, the Olympic Games. Some surprises happened, as it was during the women's Road to Paris Volleyball Qualifier, and this is why this sport is so beautiful.
Our team did a great job working in three different time zones and kept their eye on all the teams while using Dual Coding. Each game was covered by two analysts and double-checked after the last whistle. This is how we do.
Our on-site supervisors managed well the competition, working closely with the organizers on VolleyStation Referee for seven matchdays. Four matches in one day, it's a lot don't you think? Thankfully we just love volleyball.
Men played three sets more than women during OQT and scored 515 points more overall. If you want to check the details about women's competition here is our short report.
Serve can be an essential volleyball element, so there is no doubt the best teams in the world need to be powerful there. The Japanese team scored the most aces overall, while one of its leaders, Yuji Nishida had 14 on his account.

In block, men scored 34 points less than women, and the best female scorer Emily Maglio had two more blocks than Flavio. It's interesting that both female and male Poland teams were the best in this element. Seems like blocking is their national skill.
Well, our statisticians admitted - there were a lot of powerful spikes in these three tournaments. Again Poland was the leader, with 385 points scored in spike.
It's nothing surprising that the best scorers are from teams not considered favorites of the tournament. A great comeback from Gyorgy Grozer helped team Germany win the Olympic ticket. They won all seven matches, the same as Poland and team USA.
