I also think that after the Olympic Games Mastro will put and end to his carrier as a player.
As regards Giba, I'm sorry he decided to withdraw; I'm sorry 'cause I won't have the chance of seeing him playing again; but, you know, nothing lasts forever! He is and will be one of the best volleyball players that this sport has ever shown to the world! And this is forever.
In my opinion many players will retire after the Olympics like Hristo Tsvetanov and i don't want to say it but I think that Vladimir Nikolov will probably retire too..Miljkovic,Mastrengelo (maybe),Priddy,Stanley and many others ?
Don't scare me ;P...First thought which I had: "OMG what's happened? Why so suddenly? Any injury?".
The best year for USA NT was when the base of team was built by the most experience players like Ball, Stanlay, Lee, Milar. I hope to see Brazilans in theirs top level too.

But I don't want to see him go downwards while he is playing.
On a side note. If he is still having fun in playing volleyball on such a high level, I am not the one to say he needs to stop obviously
