Russian blocks are tooooo huge for Vanzurova

i don't really follow ISR but i recall they had a very big hitter before, artmenko, did she retire? without her, ISR is like KOR without Kim YK.
and also velikky, was a decent OH as well, was she born in UZB, i think?

saying very big hitter, you meant her height? LOL.. -
what is the aim of russian federation as holding a tornament with these average teams ,to boost its self-confidence or they were obliged to resume the tradition ? LOL
China U20, C.R without best players,Cuba,İsrael,Kazakhistan etc..

They definitely tried to invite some stronger teams like Germany, Bulgaria and Italy but there is European Games going on at the same period, that explains all. Taking part of the very first European Games would mean more than Yeltsin Cup.

there still should be some other good teams to invite ..
i dont know about russian squad in this tournament but i would play with B-C team against these teams if i were russian head coach..otherwise winning sets 25-15 wouldnt help you much.. -
Yeltsin Cup is a very meaningful (also historical) tournament for Russians, I can say this despite not being a russian citizen. Otherwise why would they send their B team to European Games and hold the A team in some minor cup like this?
I kinda agree with u though, the three opponents are quite weak, C.R could have been playing better though. The absent of Havlickova has been ruining them, at least from what I've seen so far.

European teams are playing European Games, American teams are playing Pan-American Cup. It is a tough date to collect good teams for a cup like that.

ok but f.e...teams like thailand,korea could have been invited.. .. -
ok but f.e...teams like thailand,korea could have been invited.. ..Korea finished Asian Champioship at end of May, and Thailand played Southeast Asian Games Final four days ago. I agree with you that it's an useless tournament for Russia but I also understand that it was difficult having good teams this year.

They are having a good excuse with European Games this yr

well, canter, i recall some matches in which she (artmenko) was a big killer… but i don't really know the ISR team. she's listed as 185 cm so she's not short.

Katya Lyubushkina playing very well, if she keeps this shape, who needs anyone else?
-
Ilchenko She would be another good candidate for OH2. She's playing very well throughout the whole tournament, for sure she would need proves against stronger teams...
-
with whom is Russia playing today? such a Close game, it doesn`t Looks like their best lineup

I think Marichev giving some chances to new players, that's why Pasynkova, Obmochaeva, Kosianenko and Malova didn't play today.
