Olga Strandzali from PAOK to AEK
From Dikefalo to Dikefalo Olga Strantzali moving from PAOK to AEK.
In a very important transfer, the AEK volleyball team announced the acquisition of Olga Strandzalis (1996, 1.85m) for the 2023–24 season. Let’s recall that he played for PAOK in the year when the international extreme ended.
After finalizing the agreement with Union, Strantzali reported on the team’s official website: “I am very happy to be part of the AEK family. After many discussions I came to the conclusion that this would be the best step for my career. The people at AEK showed me confidence and the barometer of my decision was our coach, who I have worked with in the past and who I have the best impressions of. I will do my best for AEK to keep starring and winning titles. As an opponent, I understood how difficult it is to play at AEK’s home ground.
I can only imagine what the other side will be like, having the whole passionate world on your side. The fans were very important to AEK last year and will be even more important this year. I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere in the stadium and I hope that we can celebrate many victories together. AEK has deservedly earned a place among the best teams in the league and the most important thing is to keep winning all national trophies. The team exudes health and stability, which is important to the athletes who compete for it. With hard work and trust in the team, the desired results will be achieved.”

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.
