I still can't believe how Fenerbahce take Lazerava
Maybe the reason is to make Arina's start at Fenerbahce more comfortable. Having a rus teammate can help her to get used to a new league quicker. I'm sure Lazareva won't stay for a long. I mean she's not that bad but Turkish league is too tough for her
There's something about Fedorovtseva's serve. It's not as strong and powerful as Tijana's but it's damn effective! Russia gets a lot of break points with her on the service line.
I guess it's a matter of good height and placement. And of course the sidespin she uses. It increases accuracy and is kind of problem for right-handed defenders since balls often dive to the left in front of them
Hey guys.. what happened with Anastasia Bavykina? I know she was a pretty solid player once, and google says she’s only 29
True, she was solid and promising player. Transfered to Dinamo Moscow and totally disappeared. So much time and talent wasted on the bench. Still playing for smaller clubs though.
It's difficult to explain. I just can say that Crimea-born people can't enter Europe as Russians due to land conflicts. BTW, they can't just enter EU members and I think Turkey isn't part of it.
I'm pretty sure it's not about where they were born but where they actually live. As I recently learned, EU does not recognize Rus passports with Crimea residence. As soon as sisters change their official residence from Crimea to any other Rus city they will be able to go anywhere. I hope this will work for them
Yeah. She returned last season but she isn't physically ready.
Yeah, she's able to play U18 Wch since the tournament will be held in Mexico. Both sisters were born in Crimea and they can't enter just Europe (EU members) and the USA. IMO, E. Gatina is the best spiker of this generation after Arina of course.
Here you can see a pic of some of the girls that arrived at the training camp. Also, in this account, you can see other pics and videos of the team.
Oh, thank you. I got it. I hope Russia will handle the situation in the future. Both sisters are incredible
AFAIK, Protopopova is (or was) training with the U18 team. E. Gatina and Popova are training as well, and they can play both positions, so those should be the opposites for the U18 Wch.
I don't know if Arina will play in this Wch (it's kinda unnecessary, IMO).
Are you talking about Ekaterina Gatina? Is she legal to play for Rus NT? Her sister was about to play for U20 team this summer but had some visa issues
