Panathinaikos – Olympiacos: Historic crowning achievement in OAKA or overtime in Women’s Volleyball League
Either 2-0 Panathinaikos celebrate winning the title in the first women’s volleyball game to be played at OAKA, or Olympiacos earn the right to stir things up during the Volley League final.
The first game in the history of women’s volleyball, to be played on Saturday afternoon (7:00 p.m., LIVE by Sportish) at the Olympic Hall “Nikos Galis”, is the third game of the final series of the women’s volleyball league, in which Panathinaikos welcomes the Olympics.
The “Greens” made the break in the second final by winning sets 3-1 and with 2-0 in the final series they still need a win to celebrate the second consecutive and 25th overall championship title in their history. The “Red-Whites” were beaten in detail at home and with their backs against the wall they will be heading to OAKA for a double that will allow them to stay alive in the title fight.
“We have to pay special attention to Saturday’s game, which is a completely different game to what we’ve played so far. We have to see it as special from the start and show commitment to our goal. It’s easy to lose your mind and feel like the series is over, but we have a lot of experience in sports and volleyball and our eyes have seen a lot.
The team remains very grounded and our goal is to find the energy to do it again on Saturday and put in a good performance. From now on the game will also be special because of the stadium as we will be competing in OAKA and certainly an opportunity like this doesn’t come around very often. May we have the people massively by our side and give us energy and impetus to achieve our goal‘ argued Yiannis Kalmazidis who, if Panathinaikos achieves the title, will become the first coach to win the Volley League men’s and women’s championship.
For his part, Lorenzo Micelli knows the difficulty but has faith in his gymnasts. “In the first two finals, it was the details that made the difference. The teams are close together, we have our chances, we have to believe in our abilities and just be more determined on crucial points. We are ready for a big fight. We will press and the opponent will feel this pressure‘ said the Italian technician.

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.
