The numbers after four games in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament are impressive. The Red Dragons are achieving particularly good statistics both collectively and individually, an overview:

Sam Deroo, reception corner and captain of the Red Dragons, continues to be hugely influential for the team. He scored as many as 61 points from attack (54%), nine in block and eight in service. Per match, Sam averages almost 20 points and a 58% reception percentage. After Matthijs Desmet's back injury, Seppe Rotty got the chance to assert himself in the team. With 28 points from attack (47%), 4 points from block and 2 aces, he is able to live up to expectations.

Ferre Reggers, opposite and one of our youngsters, after a successful European Championship also achieved impressive percentages at this tournament. In four matches he scored 75 points from attack (55%), 7 from block and 1 on service. Ferre scored an average of 21 (!) points per match. These figures make him the tournament's top scorer for the time being.

The middle players are also having a fine tournament. The combination of the experienced Pieter Coolman and the youthfulness of Wout D'Heer seems to be bearing fruit. Pieter Coolman already gave the Belgians 29 points from attack (67%), 9 points from block and 4 points from the service line. Wout already achieved 20 attack points (74%), 8 block points and 2 service points.

Libero Martin Perin provides stability in the backfield. With 66% in positive receptions, he is currently delivering an excellent result.

These figures result in good performances. With 2 wins and 2 narrow losses against absolute world champions, the Red Dragons make the Belgian volleyball world dream of an Olympic ticket for a while.
