Malygina is in the nt again, this time as Mb
okay, let's say im okay with other positions but MB position (Malygina, Efimova, Brovkina) is strange to me. Lazarenko, Enina and Evdokimova deserved to be in the NT imo
Enina and Evdokimova were arguably the best MBs in Final 6, wonder what happened behind the scenes for them not to be included 
I would take Kotova as third MB, at least she can be useful as serving sub
I can't believe there is a fight on our little harmonious thread
Because even for non-Brazilians fans like us, Sheilla taking that one spot to OG is not easy to dismiss where there are clearly better options (age notwithstanding). I mean, she is gonna play OPPOSITE for Christ sake.
How Tandara must be feeling right now 
At least Gamova was humble enough and knew her time was up in NT 
I think Volkov, Kliuka, and Podlesnykh spots are secured for Tokyo (barring any injuries). Bogdan, Semyshev, Voronkov and maybe the 'older ones' Sivozhelez, Markin, Karpukhov will all be vying for that 4th OH spot. But I personally want Berezhko to be included 
but I don't think Sammelvuo is particularly aware of his talents..
EDIT: I just googled Russia's 2016 OG roster and technically they only brought 3 OHs: Tetyukhin, Volkov, Kliuka and the 4th one is a libero converted to an OH Ermakov. Wonder if Russia will do the same this time around.
The only bright side of Kazan's 'bad' result this season, Sammelvuo will not be in any way pressured to include Butko and Volvich to NT. Kobzar-Pankov duo to Tokyo! That said, the two does seem to have a real rivalry right now, and although Pankov had a fantastic season, I would still expect the coach to make Kobzar as the team's main tie-in.
Also for some unknown reason ZenitSP will keep Cameho even tho this means that every team they play against will score at least 10 aces per game. Also Kovalev will leave the team, good for him, Samuelvuo clearly doesn t like his style of playing. But at what Russian club he will go?
I read Kovalev is going to Belogorie.
Kobzar is looking extra fire today 
Will Zenit "always the bridesmaid, never the bride" finally win a Finals? If they finally win, all previous losses will be forgiven 
Btw, match for 5th place Kazan won against Fakel 3-1. So after all Kazan has chance to play in Challenge Cup for the upcoming season 
what do you guys think about the final? Is 7th the charm?
It will actually be the 8th time that both teams will meet this season if you include CEV Cup Finals and the record is 7-0 Dynamo
Moscow-Zenit in the finals
This set is so nerve wracking .. come on Lokomotiv 
Abaev is setting the ball too low for Kurkaev every time 
Is Lokomotiv the new Brazil NT with their mini celebrations?
Abaev needs to use Kurkaev more when he is in front, his sets to the wings are becoming more predictable
I missed watching the earlier two sets and was shocked to see 25-13
I can't decide who's hotter, Luburic or Sokolov
I hope Loko manage to make a comeback, I can't for the life of me see Moscow beating St. Petersburg for the 100th time
Stream for Moscow x Lokomotiv please?
