Other players were entered for the competition, but I believe it's just to complete the list, players with other numbers game (22,24,26).
At least now we see Sokolova with # 5 and # 6 with Pasynkova. I believe it is being confirmed her participation, because every time she aprece with # 5, because it goes to the field.
Off the list: Gamova - Orlova - Morozova
Speaking of the Olympic qualifers in Ankara, how does the recent Russia-Turkey relations affect this? Russian Volleyball Federation has "cancelled" several games in CL after the recent turn of events and decided not to send their teams. Several Russian NT players have also expressed concern regarding their safety in Turkey including Goncharova, Kosianenko, Startseva, etc. But I still think Russia has no choice and would travel to Ankara anyway for the qualifiers otherwise they will be missing the most important tournament and the chance to win the medal they desire the most: Olympic gold
