Irina Voronkova, player of the Sirius Federal Territory team, appreciated the opening match of the women’s volleyball tournament of the Spartakiad of the Strongest.
In the first game of the tournament, the FT Sirius team lost to the Moscow team in a tie-break (2:3), leading 2:0, the meeting took place in Kaliningrad.
– I am very pleased to return to Kaliningrad, where I spent four seasons. I was waiting for this moment and was glad to come out here again to the site, to see the fans. The match, of course, turned out to be interesting. It’s a shame they gave up. A little was not enough. There were several moments at the end of the third installment that did not allow us to win it and take the match. But it’s okay – our girls are young, they learn quickly, and the tournament has just started. Everything is ahead of us, – the websites of the Spartakiad and the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VVF) quote Voronkova.
– Losing 0:2, we continued to believe that we could save the match. And so it happened. Did you play five match points in the fifth game? It happens. While physically we are not ready in the best way, we had to speed up the preparation. But all teams are on an equal footing. And it’s always a pleasure to play in Kaliningrad – great atmosphere, cool fans! – said Tatyana Dmitrieva, the binder of the Moscow team.
In another match, which was hosted by Kaliningrad, athletes from the Kaliningrad region beat St. Petersburg with a score of 3:0.
