New fight of the national team against Turkey at the European Championship
After the epic upset against Portugal, the national team meets Turkey in their third game in Group D of the European Championship (17:30, ERT3).
Greece, who have recorded two tie-breaks out of two (1 win-1 loss) so far, are hoping to celebrate their second straight European Championship victory which will pave the way to qualifying for the next round.
Turkey, winners of this year’s Golden European League, have former Olympic coach Alberto Giuliani on their bench but have lost in their first two games (against France and Romania).
“It’s also a crucial game against Turkey, who are still without a win but we know they have great quality. It’s going to be another big fight.” commented Dante Bonifande, who is not particularly worried.

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.
