I am truly happy for our boys, we reached a well deserved and awaited medal! Congratulations to the undefeated champions of Russia, they weren't much better than Bulgaria, in my opinion, just had more options in attack! Nikolay Penchev with a personal award to mark the end of an amazing tournament for our junior volleyball! Bravo, Bulgaria you made us very proud despite staying one step down the top!!!

It was a game between Bulgaria junior team against Russia male team. The other guys had double sized muscles and some of them - impressive beards. Still good game of David against Goliath

I don't think Holland was that bad
Of course you weren't, in fact they over-performed, it is too good result for this generation especially with bench setter in play
