There were a lot of newcomers to this tournament, but their professionalism in the game was noticeable to fans and judges. The well-tuned work of the links and teamwork are precisely those signs by which the favorites of any tournament are easily determined.

Sergey Moiseev: ‘We arrived with a fighting spirit. Our team is young and we debut in such a tournament. Two years ago, when we just built our own gym at the factory, we started practicing team sports. The first team, of course, was football: they started their journey from the last lines in the standings, and now we are not only taking prizes, but just recently they won a gold cup in the tournament. Therefore, we hope that our volleyball team with each new tournament will only improve over time and take prizes’.

The most invaluable reward of any tournament is, of course, the emotions of players and fans. Huge thanks to all the participants and fans who came to support our team!
