The Turkish women were after victories against Croatia and Germany already qualified for the semifinals and that fact did not seem to inspire the team at Orange. Netherlands waltzed in Ankara 3-0 (25-14, 25-10 and 25-21) across the top country around.
The team of Italian coach Giovanni Guidetti can Thursday with a victory at all disabled Croatia qualify for the semifinals of the tournament in the Turkish capital. Netherlands may end even as group winners and as European Russia champion outrun in the semi final.
Germany won earlier on Wednesday his last group match 3-0 against Croatia, making the number five on the European ranking after three duels opens onto five points.
That the German women now in second place one point behind Turkey, but the Netherlands (four points) can come out with a win against Croatia at six or seven points. A 3-0 or 3-1 victory is worth three points, while a 3-2 win gives two points.
Only the winner of the Qualifier in Ankara goes straight to the Olympics. The number two and three go to a second OCT, held in Japan in May and is considerably less strongly occupied

Orange Monday lost his first group match 3-2 after a disappointing performance in Germany. The team of Guidetti therefore knew that alone was a victory enough for Turkey to take more chance to be at the Olympics for the first time since 1996.
The Netherlands showed from the start that it was aware of the plight and the team left Turkey does not get in the game. There was soon a 14-7 lead on the scoreboard and the margin was only expanded: 25-14
In the second set Orange hit very early a gap of seven points (12-5. ) and strong company ended the game even at 25-10.
In the third set brought the Turkish coach Bahar Toksoy, wife of Guidetti, within the lines, but they could not turn the tide. Orange came back quickly to a comfortable lead (8-2) and although Turkey is still terugknokte to 20-17, the victory of the Netherlands was no longer in danger.
The last group match against Croatia still win-less start Thursday at 15:30
