In Moscow, everything is ready for the Tournament of the Big Slam series
This week, the fourth in a row in the season and the first separate stage of the World round-2010 in beach volleyball is taking place. Women compete in Seoul (Korea), men's couples play on the sandy courts of the Polish town of Myslovitsa. Ten days remained before the start of the Bolshoi helmet series tournament with a total prize pool of 600 thousand dollars on Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow.The press conference was dedicated to the upcoming event, held in the capital with the participation of the President of the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VFV) Stanislav Shevchenko. “The stage of the“ Big Slam ”is a significant competition for us, they have become traditional for Russia and have been held in Moscow for the third year in a row,” Shevchenko said. - The park on Poklonnaya Gora is very successful for holding the tournament, this is a favorite vacation spot of Muscovites and guests of the city. I hope that at least one Russian couple will get to the participation of the last game day, when the semi -finals, a meeting for Bronze and a decisive battle for the title take place. If, for example, two years ago, individual leading duets of the world did not come to Moscow, since everything was practically clear with the selection at the Olympics, now, in the first third of the season, we expect the best teams of the planet on Poklonnaya Gora. ”
All Russian tandems are named that will enter the struggle in the main grid. In men, these are Vice-champions of the world-2007 Dmitry Barsuk-Igor Kolodinsky, as well as Yuri Bogatov-Sergey Prokopyev and the most promising young duet Konstantin Semenov-Alexei Pastukhov. In the female part of the tournament, Maria Bratkova will play-Evgenia Ukolova, Anastasia Vasina-Ekaterina Khomyakova, Yana Kiseleva-Zhid-Flores Yalovaya. The last of the mentioned athletes is a rather exotic newcomer of the national team. The dark-skinned Yalovaya (in the girlishness of Pisnyuk) began her career in the classic volleyball in Ryazan, and according to her father, the current representative of the specialized scourge of the scourge from Vladivostok has Angolian roots.
The director of the tournament, Ilya Volodarsky, said that the craftsmen of the Beach-Volea will perform in the same sand that is used at the European Coalgie Starting Stage today. “In a difficult time from an economic point of view, the optimal, in my opinion, is the option of combining the interests of two related sports,” Volodarsky believes. - We have constrained and significantly reduced organizational costs. The sand is selected of such quality that it satisfies the requirements of two international federations. We deliberately turned to the FIVB with a request to allow the final of the competition and the ceremony of awarding and closing in the “world round” day for the calendar - Monday, although the medals are usually played on Saturdays and Sundays. June 12 is our national holiday of Russia Day, in this regard, there is an extra day off on June 14, and we included it in our schedule. ”
Yesterday, the FIVB published a list of participants in the Moscow tournament. Among them are celebrities such as the existing world champions, the Germans Julius Brink-Jonas Rekermann (Germany), American Jennifer Kessi (boss)-April Ross, winners of the “gold” of the Beijing Olympics Fil Dalhausser-Todd Rogers (USA), European champions 2009 Dutch Rynder Nummerdor-Richard Skhail, Richard Skhail multiple winners of the general standings of the “world round” Brazilian Zhulian-Larissa and many other bich-wound bitch.
