"Miss Yeltsin Cup 2010"
yes! they played together in montreux and in yeltsin cup in some matches
but they all were friendly tournament 
i think it is ok for formal tournament lik World Championship?
Duskryadchenko never played for Ukraine NT so it shouldn't be a problem. And I think FIVB rules also apply for friendly tournaments 
Is Duskryadchenko also from Ukraine? I didn't even know that 
Makarova,Goncharova,Andrushko and even Duskryadchenko...who else is from Ukraine? 
As far as I know Andrushko is from Belarus
...and I have to correct myself, I just read that Duskryadchenko is from Kazakhstan...
Oops, Andrushko is from Belarus (Sorry 
)
BTW, choosing Duskryadchenko was a great choice for the Russian team. last year, they called Makarova first, and this year called Goncharova and Duskryadchenko 
LI - Kabeshova (she's way better than Kryuchkova)
I don't think so! 
come on...Kabeshova sucks like hell! Kryuchkova is the only decent libero in Russia..
I didnt see a middle blocker like Alimova yet.She is bit old but still best russian MBs with Merkulova.She
might be invited to Russin NT? Bordakova in bad case.Hope Perpelkina can replace her at WCH 2010.
Stop fighting about liberos in Russia, they both are not good and they are the weakest links in Russian NT. Also setters are terrible, but if you say Startseva is better, it is good for Russia, but I have not seen her game, so I cannot say that and am just depending on your info
For me the final result of the cup is big surprise, would not expect that they will go so far
I don't think so!
Kabeshova is the only one who can dig in the Russian team besides Sokolova
Is Duskryadchenko also from Ukraine? I didn't even know that
Makarova,Goncharova,Andrushko and even Duskryadchenko...who else is from Ukraine?
and Krivets from Ukraine or Belarus?
and Krivets from Ukraine or Belarus?
Ukraine, she played for UKR NT in season 06/07.
Kabeshova is the only one who can dig in the Russian team besides Sokolova
Did you watch the matches in Yeltsin Cup?? I think I've never seen a Russian team playing so well in defense, especially Kosheleva...

I definitely agree with Matthias!
I do also agree. Kabeshova was a revelation. But we have to see how they play in their next tournaments. I would really hope that Goncharova would step up and develop some decent reception so the team would not need Fateeva.
