Display MoreI think Startseva is the best russian setter in quite some time. As someone else pointed out it wasn't her fault when she had to set 5 or 6 balls to Gamova. The 1st time she could she set to Morozova.
And as for Russian winning everytime against Brazil in major competition I don't buy the whole "the win over Russia at 2008 OG happened because it wasn't an important match". What the heck!!! Brazil is the olympic champion and won almost every game in straight sets. If Brazil didn't play Russia at semi or gold medal it is all Russia's fault for playing nothing at OG.
And btw this match at the OG was one of the very few when both Brazil and Russia could play with all their players, no one left out. Paula even blocked Gamova in a single block.
So please, as a brazilian fan, stop with this whole "Brazil chokes in final". We have a lot of GPs title, 3 silvers at WC, 2 bronzes and a GOLD at OG. I believe that aside deserves some respect. Even Sokolova said she would trade her 2 WC wins for a gold medal at OG.
We lost to Russia in 2006 and 2010 but we didn't have our full squad while Russia did. And the reason we lost is simple "Russia played better and deserved those 2 WC". Don't say Brazil choke because we lost in 5th set and we fought as much as we could.
is Morozova related to the great Natalya Morozova?
-
and how dare did you not write Leo's name there?
of course, Leo and Cacciatori -
but i think she is the most consistent setter..among Akulova and Startseva IMO
Who could forget Vassilevskaia?!
IMHO the top setters in the world: Fofao, Fernanda, Vasilevskaia, Costa, Feng Kun, Takeshita -
WOW! Come from behind win from Brasil!
Just add Jacqueline and Priscila to the team!
-
Go Fabi!
-
Karpol, Sheshenina, Artamanova, Gamova and Sokolova > Russian team
-
Who said Brazil cannot block Gamova? Thaisa did!
Garay -
i do believe in miracles........
its been exactly 7 years and 1 day..since the 2004 OG semifinals...
well, Karpol > current Russian coach. like Karpol even with his style of coaching
-
I can definitely see Priscila joining in the next competition.
Hope Fernanda Venturini coaches the setters! -
but that is not a crucial match.......
well i think that trend will happen in the World Cup.....
that trend is only applied at Major Competitions(esp Crucial Match)
WGP isnt a major competition???
I hope they use Juciely...and brought Priscila Daroit to A Team.

2008 Beijing, brazil takes 1st set and they win.
