Greece 3-0 Switzerland: Victory led by Anthoulis for the national team
The women’s national volleyball team qualified for the European Championship with a right foot after beating Switzerland 3-0 in a set.
An ideal start for the women’s national team in qualifying for the European Women’s Championship, as they beat Switzerland 3-0 on matchday 1 of group 6.
With top scorer Martha Anthoulis with 20 points and a great work by all the athletes fielded by the Italian federation Marcello Abbondanza, the “blue and white” presence of many people in the Mikras hall made the first step to secure the ticket to Eurovolley 2023.
Key to the big win over the Swiss was the 7-13 turnaround in the second set, resulting in a 2-0 set rather than a draw.
The game started in the best possible way, as our national team excelled in block defense and serve and Martha Anthoulis was unstoppable in attack, we led 7-1. Switzerland tried to restrict, but the Greek block was well placed to take an easy 1-0 set with an attack from Olga Strantzalis at a score of 25-17.
Our national team fell behind early in the second set, Switzerland reacted after the poor first set. By the time the score was 7:13, Marcelo Abbondanza had used up his two time-outs while making changes at the ends, with Stamatia Kyparissi and Eva Hadava entering the pitch. Gradually, the Greek internationals improved, improving reception and defense and with two consecutive attacks by Eva Handava, Greece took the lead 22-21. An ace by Andromachis Tsioga gave the national team two match points to make it 2-0 (24:22), but the Swiss drew 24:24. Martha Anthoulis gave Greece the lead again (25-24) to follow Switzerland’s attack 26-24 and 2-0 sets.
In the third set, too, the national team was chasing the goal, because with consistently good serves from Switzerland, the score was 3:7. Marcelo Abondanza called a time-out and then came the improvement of the Greek internationals and two consecutive attacks from Olga Strandzalis and immediately after that a block from Andromachis Tsioga took a 12-11 lead. The difference gradually widened and with Martha Anthoulis we took a 19-15 lead. However, Switzerland did not have their last word, choosing Stork with their diagonal as the protagonist 21-21 and then 22-22. The finale was exciting as Martha Anthoulis led with an attack and a block to 25-23 and the final 3-0 set.

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.
