Ft Sirius finished 3rd in Spartakiad, Congrats!!
Overall, the team is doing good, when the games progressed the team got better. I felt pretty bad for #3, #5, and #21, they barely had any chance to be on court. Bad Terzic!
After this, Russia might put up a list for the "national" team (for the coming friendly's) , and I would guess this list will be mainly from these eight teams. One spot I am not sure is the setter, Matveeva is good as a local team but not good enough to handle the tough international competitions. Startseva has been disappointing, Romarova has been good, and the setters from Tula, Proton, and Loko are all pretty good.
Goncharova looks like still the one Russia has now. It is a pity that Akimova did not have a chance to demonstrate her ability due to injury.
Outside, Parubets did not stand out as a attacker although her defense has been decent.
Middle, there are some good middles to choose from, the young ones I like are Kochurina, Zhabrova, and Pushina.
Libero, Bayandina looked pretty good.
If I were the one to pick this team, it would be hard to pick the setters. Anyway, here is my #1 list (you can laugh or you can jump, whatever you feel appropriate to respond
Setters: Romarova, Popova
Opp: Gocharova, Akimove (or Lukianova)
OH: Fedorovtseva, Voronkova, Parubets, Kapustina
MB: Fetisova, Kochurina, Pushina, Brovkina
L: Podkopaeva, Bayandina
