Konstantin Bryansky, head coach of the Russian men’s volleyball team, said the absence of a team in international tournaments affected the competition’s final standings. Transmits words “Sport Express”.
“Actually, these are circumcised tournaments. It is often difficult to consider any tournament fully fledged without our team that can claim medals and is one of the strongest. It should be well understood. As practice shows, the involvement of only one strong team can completely change the balance. You have to understand that guys with great initiative play in clubs, ”says Bryansky.
In June, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) extended the suspension of the Russian team. In addition, the organization has decided not to show Russia and Belarus in the world rankings while they do not participate in the events under the auspices of the organization.
Recall that at the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made a call to international sports federations and recommended that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions.
