2019 FIVB Women's U18 World Championship in Egypt

  • Her approach is a thing of beauty :love: I wouldn't even have guessed she is 162 because her reach is so high.

    Oh Altinli you've just given me the warm and fuzzies. Someone else noticed my hero <3

  • I was just minding my businesd watching the TUR vs JPN match but she clearly stood out :!: bright future for that girl surely :rose:

    Do you notice traces of the dancing giraffe in these young Turkish girls approach to serve? Cracked me up. I like how certain teams/countries have a cultural serve approach. Korea, with their running in place thing, the most pervasive

    Yes I know, I did notice :D It makes me very proud to see the dancing giraffe serve is becoming a Turkish thing. I couldn't have asked for a better national service tbh :rolll:


    #GoGiraffes I want Yeşilyurt to sign an all Giraffe team hopefully some day, now that would be a team I could fanatically root for :heart:

  • Turkey lost against Peru 3-0 but it seems like 3 players( Pelin Eroktay, Dalia Wilson, Aleyna Göçmen from U16 team that became champion of last ECh is playing in this team. Since our 2002-2003 generation is not so impressive, it might be a good idea indeed to let the younger but better generation to gain experience.


    Our best player from this generation, Sude Hacimustafaoglu is not in the roster. 😱

  • sometimes being that tall is a curse because you can’t move well. that’s why musersky is such a freak of nature, because in spite of his height, he’s well proportioned and athletic.


    PUR has a player that tall (208 cm), alba hernandez, she’s very slow and awkward, she played with the senior NT but then got dropped. she just signed up with a GER club, hopefully she can improve a lot.

  • Japan v Peru:


  • A lot of thinking goes on in these youngster matches. As in: "Are you gonna get that? Should I get that?"

  • China vs Egypt, here you can see that she's not really mobile and China took advantage of that whether if it was through her block or off her hands.


  • This is the group that keeps the arena rockin' in Cairo:



  • any link please ?

    Live365 is all I've found. Weird aspect ratio.

  • Yup, I feel bad for her though because of her height. I can't imagine how she feels after a match let alone with daily activities.

    Yeah plus her potential health problems in the future.

    Stysiak is only 203 cm tall but she had/have problems with knees becausw of her height.
