I think both men and women will be thailand, because they are number one in ASEAN, but at the bottom when it comes to the asian level

Hanoi, Vietnam, September 13, 2009 -- Devastating Thailand brought the curtain down on the 15th Asian Senior Women's Volleyball Championship with a bang after overpowering 11-time champions and FIVB World No.3 China in dramatic four sets on Sunday.

Thailand, world No.17 and third place both at the previous edition and the last year's Asian Cup on home soil, dazzled China and a large crowd of their boisterous supporters in the Quan Ngua Competition Hall with gutsy display and a strong will to win.

The magnificent come-from-behind 20-25 25-19 25-19 25-23 victory over the well-established Chinese team, which last month claimed the fifth place at the World Grand Prix Final Round in Tokyo, ended Thailand's gold-medal drought in the biennial competition.

Thailand have never beaten China before. This year, Thailand lost to the formidable rivals twice consisting of the straight-set loss in the World Championship third round Pool D in Chengdu, China in July and again at the last month's World Grand Prix preliminaries Pool E in Macau.

Since the tournament's inception in 1975 in Melbourne, Thailand made their debut attempt in the 4th edition in Shanghai in 1987. There, they finished fifth. Since then, their performances were just ups and downs. Their best two efforts were in 2001 and 2007 on home soil when they finished third place at both occasions.

The scintillating win over the bronze medalists at the last year's Beijing Olympic Games has earned Thailand another berth to play in a world-class competition after they stormed their ways into the semi-finals of the Asian meet which guaranteed them a ticket for the next year's World Grand Prix.

Now, Thailand will represent Asia as the continental champions to test their mettle in the Japan-hosted World Grand Champions Cup in coming November.

"It's beyond everyone's expectation. I have never thought before that we can come this far. To win a semi-final berth in the Asian Championship was already a dream come true for us. Now, we have another sweet dream – to win the Asian crown for the first time ever, a happy Thai head coach Kiattipong Radchatagriengkai said.

In the third-place play-off earlier, defending and three-time champions Japan powered past Korea four times in a row just in 35 days. World No.7 Japan beat the same opponents twice in the World Grand Prix preliminaries and twice in the recently-concluded Asian Championship including the third-place play-off which they won with ease 25-16 25-15 25-18 on Sunday.

Match results

I like Thai women's volleyball. They all look tall, lovely and kind. I wish they could tell our Lao women team some nice techniques, so that they could perhaps play abit longer during the game.

Indonesia'll be the champion for men's volleyball and Thailand'll be the champion for women's volleyball.

Date: Nov 30, 2009

Men's
either Indonesia or Thailand

Women's
either Thailand or Philippines

*However, Thailand Women's Volleyball has the most chance to win gold because they prepare well for all year round.

NHP · Senior Member

Thailand can't win Indonesia in men's volleyball. Indonesia men's volleyball team is the strongest team in ASEAN. It's truth, even I'm Vietnamese and I love my Vietnam men's national volleyball team.

NHP · Senior Member

Thailand women's volleyball team 'll continue to become the champion. they're too strong

I really want to see Indonesian win the gold in men's volleyball for this tournament. I don't think Thai men's are good enough for gold unless they prove it!

1. Indonesia
2. Thailand

NHP · Senior Member

Well, Indonesia men's national volleyball team is the strongest and they'll continue to be a king of volleyball in SEA GAMES 25. Beside that, it'll be Vietnam because Thailand men's volleyball were losing their power in ASEAN. They can't beat and win the game with Vietnam. Sorry to say that, remember that they losed all games with Vietnam mes's volleyball team in SEA GAMES 24. Forsure.

About the women. Thailand women's volleyball team 's the strongest. Poour us, we can't win them, Vietnam women's volleyball team still the runner-up. Hope so.

Hi NHP

Thanks for sharing your comment. I'm totally agree with you about who will be the King and the Queen of Volleyball in this 25th SEA GAMES.

Also, good luck for Vietnamese teams in both men and women.

Regards
Thana.

Hi Thana,

Yeah, thanks for ur kind and good luck to our national volleyball teams. I know the position of Vietnam volleyball team, so I just wanna watch the good match, and it's should be fair. It's the most important in SEA GAMES ^^ Play fairly, win the game and bring fame to our country.

Cheer,

NHP

Not for men's volleyball. I think either Indonesia or Vietnam. The best for Thailand is silver medal for men team.

And, I think silver is very good already.

GuGu · Newbie

I can only think either Thai or Phil

Hopefully Malaysia can atleast give a good fight

GO Malaysia!!

I think volleyball's rank will be:
Women:
1-Thailand
2-Vietnam
3-Philippine

Men:
1-Vietnam

I remember when I was little child. My little sis, Linh just 3 years old. My father take me to the stadium of QK3 and we saw the volleyball of Haiphong vs QuangNinh. It's so amazing and interesting. Since that, I like volleyball and not a bad girl at that sport, hihi ( ofcourse, I'm more good at swimming ).

And now, the Viet blood inside me, and surely I want our team can be champion. But Volleyball is not football. There is alittle change for weaker team to win stronger team. But just play with 100% ability, and result is not problem anymore

Like me, the Viet blood inside me and I also wish our teams 'll be the king and the queen of volleyball, but we still can't do, at least in SEA GAMES 25. We're weaker than Indonesia men's team and Thailand women's team

Men's: We or Indo will catch the gold
Women's: We're dominating, but we have to put one eye to Viet. It will be us the champion!

Thailand was losing their power and Vietnam men's team 's the new power. Why? We have Ngô Văn Kiều, Nguyễn Hữu Hà & Lê Quang Khánh. Thailand 's still strong, but they just have Wanchai. I'm surely that Wanchai's the best striker in ASEAN. All blockers feel hardly when they have the face - to - face with Wanchai; but Thailand just has 1 Wanchai smile

Indonesia? Wow, They're really strong and they play so well. They have the same height and the same level. Avip, Afian 're the best player

Air Jordan shoes line is now sold by the Jordan Brand subsidiary of Nike. Since its first release in 1985, there have been new designs of the shoe released each year, even after Michael Jordan retired from the NBA Nonetheless, nike shox other companies scrambled to emulate the design and introducing knock-off brands of Jordan heel boots. In 1994 the Air Jordan 1 was re-released with dismal success.There were 2009 pairs produced for sale in the USA for elsewhere. Since Air Jordan 2011 debut, women Jordan shoesin the sales and market demand ahead of other products.
