    I haven't seen her play, she was not always first setter for Bayer. The other setter was Hungarian Kristina Bognar. I don't think she can be much better than Elif (and I certainly don't mean that Elif is a very good setter!!!).

    Quote from "samba player"

    Russians call
    -Elena Godina = Gosha
    -Ekaterina Gamova = Katja
    -Lioubov Sokolova = Ljuba
    -Evgeniya Artamonova = Zhenya

    Some more:
    Irina Tebenikhina = Tiba
    Elena Plotnikova = Plot

    The new Nightwish singer is soooooooo bad :x I don't understand how they could choose her.
    Nastja, there are better singers than Tarja :wink2: Listen to the Decipher album from After Forever.

    Quote from "Jo11"

    RC Cannes has signed two setters for next season, Elif Agca and a chinese setter whose name has not been revealed yet.

    Do we know now who the Chinese is?

    My fav bands are:
    Epica, After Forever, The Gathering, Delain, Nightwish, Therion, Leaves Eyes, Elis, Within Temptation...anyone knows any of these?? :lol:

    Quote from "Nick"

    Matthias or colossus, can you tell me what happened to Godina? only 5 points, it's strange. Also, many people say that our libero plays awful, is that so? And how russian team looked overall?

    Godina just did not get through very well against China, she was better today but still made too many errors.
    I don't think Kryuchkova plays bad, maybe she is not yet as good as last year but she still plays very well in defense. Reception could be a little better though...


    China wins Yeltsin Cup by a hard-fought 3:1 victory over Netherlands, 37:35 in last set. Manon Flier injured her ankle in the beginning of 4th set and was replaced by Francien Huurman who seems to have fully recovered from cancer :)

    I watched both matches on Guandong Sports.
    I was very impressed with the performance of Olga Fateeva for Russia and also Svetlana Akulova played well. I think Russia would have deserved a to win a set. Unfortunately Tatiana Kosheleva played only a little and not very convincing.


    For the other match I think both teams did great work in defense but also committed many unforced errors. I don't understand why Pelin Celik didn't return at all after she got subbed out in 2nd set. Elif's sets were all sooo predictable.
