Like other teams, we are searching for the ticket to Rio 2016,” Dominican Republic coach Marcos Kwiek said. “We are looking for the right balance of height and experience to help us do our best here.”

We don’t have a specific weapon,Russia coach Yuri Marichev  modestly said. “We have a strong determination to win the ticket to the Olympics next year. We have a young team and some of these players are not so experienced.

“We are not very tall, our biggest weapon is how we can work together as a team,” Japanese coach Masayoshi Manabe.

“Our goal is to win the ticket to the Rio 2016 Olympics. All the teams here are strong, so we will do our best.”

“Our biggest weapon is our determination,” said Argentina coach Guillermo Orduna. “We are still a growing team. We don’t want to be a team with just one or two good players. One of our goals is to go to the South American Championship. This opportunity to participate in this competition is good for us.”

“This is a strong competition,” Cuba coach Roberto Garcia said. “All the teams are trying to win the ticket to the Olympics. We have a young team with young players. We will try to work together towards a brilliant finish.”

We are not trying to make it to the Olympics, but rather perform better and play well as the African champions,Kenya coach David  Lung’aho said. “We are trying to improve in this event. We just won the FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix Group 3 final and we hope that can inspire us when we play against the top teams. Our best weapon in this tournament is our fighting spirit.”
