Here you can dowload part of semifinal Zarechie - Burgos (3 and 4 sets).
Also semi and final matches of Russian Cup.

EDIT: Now full final match with awarding ceremony is available

Mmm I think that the winner of the match Bergamo - Tenerife will be the winner of the Final Four.

I also think so, still, I'll support Dinamo Moscow of course
I believe that Dinamo have chances this year. If Gamova will play at her best we can make it, but the thing is that Katya plays bad for so long... :cry2: Her attacks are not that strong, many errors, float serves, she's not active, no emotions and so on. Looks like she doesn't want to play volleyball at all. I have no ideas what's up with her... And in last matches Dinamo showed average level of volleyball :? So it'll be difficult for Dinamo. Dinamo need Gamova at full capacity. Godina and Hanikoglou are not enough.
Still, despite all problems, my vote goes to Dinamo.

GO DINAMO

i wonder why she is called "skazka"... probably cos her name's too long lol
well, SKAZKA means in russian fairytale fits to her eh?

Skazka is her first surname.

Now it's confirmed that Alekno is new coach of russian NT

EDIT: Alekno will remain Dinamo coach until the end of season.

good news but i'd like to know if eurosport or eurosport2 was meant

I think it was eurosport.

Does anyone have matches of russian team on WCH 2002? any matches: group, play-off, no matter, please post here. :wink2:
Thanks in advance

Dinamo MOSCOW (RUS) - DELA Martinus AMSTELVEEN (NED) 3:0 (25-21, 25-20, 25-20).
Well, haven't seen this match but I think Dinamo played good. (I was worried about Dinamo after their loss to Zarechie - Odintsovo in Russian Cup 0:3 (14,18,18 ). :shock: It was shock for everybody).
Still, happy for Dinamo gongrats girls, 1 more set and you're in final four!!!)).

Congrats to Matey
Yesterday he was elected as MVP of Russian Cup as well

Quote from "Armel"

OK ...

Let's wait for a confirmation then ...
(It's getting boring to see so many unconfirmed and sometimes false informations on volleyball.it )

Anyway Nick, I was wondering if he would remain Dinamo coach until the end of the season or if he would leave it to someone else right after the nomination.
We'll probably know this when it's going to be announced, but perhaps you already know ...

Well, Alekno said that if he's the coach he'll leave Dinamo and will concentrate on our NT but when he'll leave the team and so on I don't know.
No I don't know it. I just can't find exact date of nomination... :? So, once our NT coach is known I'll post here.

P.S. at least found... yesterday we'll learn who'll be our NT coach.

I have read on eurosport.ru in programme announcement for march that final four of women and men champion's league will be shown

Quote from "Nastja"

i dont like them so much :oops:
maybe because they won in the OG 2004 against russia
i think thats the only reason :wink2:

Same here, as for me it's also the only reason I don't like China team
(May be now aslo because of what they did on WCH 2002, I just didn't know that, agreed with all fans whose teams missed their chances to play in quarters bacause of chinese coach.)

Foppapedretti BERGAMO (ITA) - Vini Monteschiavo JESI (ITA) 2:3 (20-25, 19-25, 25-15, 25-19, 12-15) :?
I was a bit surprised...

Vladimir Alekno is new coach Russian NT

It's not yet confirmed. I read in one article that the coach position will be decided after Russian Cup that ended today with the victory of Dinamo (Alekno is the coach of this team). So we'll see... by now there are no confirmed info in our mass media.
