PAOK clinched the first set, but Olympiacos upped their game dramatically, winning the set 3-1 to lead 1-0 in the Men’s Volley League Finals series.
Olympiacos took the first step towards winning the championship. PAOK took a 1-0 lead, but the red-white team turned things around and clinched a 3-1 set win.
Giuliani’s players turned the tables after the first set and managed to claim victory with many protagonists. On the other hand, PAOK had Raptis as the top scorer with 18 points while Den Dries was struggling with a rib injury.
The match: PAOK advanced to the finals better, leading by four points (6-10) with its service as a weapon. However, the red-white team was able to react quickly and took a 13-11 lead with a 7-1 lead.
Dikephalos quickly leveled the set and both teams went point for point up to 20-20. At this point, with Skredau on serve, PAOK went on a 5-0 run to finish the first set 25-20.
The second set was a completely different story. PAOK nervously came in and Olympiacos capitalized on it, leading by five (12-7).
From then on, Dikephalos twice tried to reduce the score, got two points, but the red-white team remained stable, avoided mistakes and easily reached the 1-1 with 25:17.
Giuliani’s players kept pressing serve and at the same time, Milenkoski’s players made many mistakes. This resulted in Olympiacos running away from the scoreboard early.
Again the PAOK players tried to make the difference but their many mistakes didn’t allow them to get any closer and Olympiacos equalized the 2-1 set 25-19.

A doctor from the Yenisei volleyball club provided emergency assistance to a child on board the plane
The doctor of the men’s volleyball club “Yenisei” from Krasnoyarsk, Shakhriyar Mirzoev, provided emergency assistance to the boy on board the plane.
The incident happened during the New Year holidays on the Kazan-Krasnoyarsk flight. The specialist noticed that the man and child were in the toilet for 20 minutes, and the flight attendant came in there periodically.
“I approached and saw that a boy of about nine was standing at the sink filled with water and blood. At that moment, the flight attendant began to ask if there was a doctor on board, to which I replied: “I’m a doctor, I’ll help now.”
I tried to stop the bleeding using cotton wool and improvised means that the conductors had, applying cold to the bridge of the nose. But this had no effect – everything was soaked in blood. The bleeding did not stop for about 20 minutes.
I tried to calm the child down and began to think about what to do next. I asked the flight attendants for a first aid kit and found ampoules of adrenaline there. Having opened two ampoules, I soaked two cotton pads with the solution and inserted them deep into the child’s nose. After a couple of minutes, I saw that the blood had stopped,” AiF Krasnoyarsk quotes Mirzoev as saying.
The child came to his senses. As it turned out, the boy had undergone surgery to remove his adenoids the day before, which probably caused the bleeding.
