PAOK – Olympiacos 3-1: Net win and top for Dikefalos
Totally superior, PAOK capitalized on Olympiacos’ mistakes and clinched the clear win (3-1) to at least temporarily climb to the top of the men’s volleyball league.
PAOK has been at the top of the Men’s Volley League (with more play, of course) since Monday night, January 31st. Overall, the team of Giannis Kalmazidis Olympiakos was superior, winning 3-1 sets (33-31, 18-25, 25-14, 25-20), leaving it – for now – in 2nd place on the scoreboard.
The first set was a thriller with both teams throwing bowls in the trash one after the other. Because of this, the set went into lengthy overtime before PAOK finally celebrated after enjoying a point.
In the second set, Olympiakos found rhythm in the middle of the set and with one weapon, good service at PAOK left no room for reaction to reach the draw relatively comfortably.
In the 3rd set the picture was completely different. PAOK was extremely efficient in reception and blocking, escaping early with a safety difference, clearing very quickly and retaking the lead.
In the 4th set, PAOK made a mini series in its opener, quickly found itself five points behind and didn’t look back. Dikefalos was consistent in shot and block, taking advantage of Olympiakos’ risk on serve and driving to a clear win.
Sets: 33-31, 18-25, 25-14, 25-20.

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.
