This Brazil is unstoppable...If they keep playing like this, Russia won't have any chance to take a set...
And Murilo is just amazing ?

@Joachim7
I won't say so. Russia looks strong. It seems to be very equal match. Italy played poorly today, so I won't be so influenced by the result.

Russia looks strong indeed...but nowhere near the brazilian side I saw today...I believe the final won't be one sided because of the pressure and such other things but I repeat if Brazil plays like this they can't lose.
Don't forget Russia only lose to Brazil in this tournament and it was by 3-0...not a surprise in my eyes considering the gap between these two teams at the moment.

And once again the final is Russia-Brazil. With this play Brazil deserve to be the champions but nothing is sure.If Russia have their serve anything can happen.

I think the opposite...Brazil and Bulgaria

Fortunatelly, to us (BRA), Italy put all their hopes on the serves, and they were extremely effective: 03 aces in the beggining of the 1st Set, and that 122 km/h serve from Savanni, BUT we have the best reception line in the competition (just look at the statistics). Without the serve, Italy couldn't hold their "spirit" and get lost within other basic things, like defense or attacks.


For Sunday, BRA x RUS, once again I will not bet anything, really don't know how will be Russia's behavior, but something I can say for sure: WILL BE A GREAT GAME !!!!!

Can you give me the individual table stats of all components after the 1/2 finals ?

Brazil passed very well today, even on broken plays there passing was so good it allowed Sidao and Lucas kept slowing the Italian middles. If they keep it up they may win the gold on sunday. I'll cheer for Russia

I hope that Brazil will win.

@ movie makers
come on ! make movies from olympics . this is your time now now ! you cant see me ... ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

You are a troll, qwerty

true but out of topic ?

I wish Dante gold medal, so in the final I will support Brazil. But I don’t know it’s good for Brazilians, because today I rooted for Americans?

A Gold Medal for Brazil today, hope to get another one tomorrow!

Alekno, u are the best!

Muserskiy ended a match twice ? I watched only a tie-break- could you tell me why Muserskiy played as an opposite?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! Bravo RUSSIA!

ONE NAME: MUSERSKIY!

Brilliant game!! Congratulations Russia, Alekno is a genius!!!! Poker play, highly risky but Alekno did it ? Two best trainers met in the final and Alekno played with an Ace, Mikhaylov as a receiver and Muserski as an outside hitter, unbelievable it worked so well ?

Musersky MVP!

Muserskiy 31 points (28 spikes, 2 blocks, 1 serve) and 10 successful digs. Unbelievable...

Congratulations to Russia

After that turn-over on the 3rd Set, the Gold Medal was trully deserved.

Alekno is a Magician!

"Russia and Brazil for the gold!

If we arrive in the semi-finals, Italy will win the bronze! "

This was my prediction the 15/07/2012 hours 18.20 .
Will luck ,but i guessed!

Russia was amazing. Who do you think would be the best players (spikers, receivers, MVP...) ?

Congrats Russia ! Amazing game. Big Musersky !

RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST SCORER: MIKHAYLOV Maxim
BEST SPIKER: MIKHAYLOV Maxim
BEST BLOCKER: GUNTHOR Max
BEST SERVER: SAVANI Cristian
BEST DIGGER: SALPAROV Teodor

So Muserskiy MVP for sure ? I am so sure about that as I was in ECH 2009 about Piotr Gruszka.

@MasterOPuppets: Yeah. Muserskiy could be one of the best opposite in the world. He's phisical performance is unbeliveable and he is so reliable.

@someone @MasterOPuppets He's also very good in defense for his 218 cm ?

This victory brings me enough emotions to smile at the sometimes frustrating problems of everyday life... and to fight to get rid of those problems. I would be a much less happier person without volleyball, for sure. Thank you everybody who congratulated to our team... this is also almost as pleasant as the victory itself. Have a nice day.

Amazing victory!

AMAZING MUSERSKIY !!!!

That Russian coach is a genius. I thought the games was over until the coach moved Musserskiy to opposite I thought for sure it was over. Then he had 3 straight kills and you could see on the Brazil faces "how do we stop this guy?" best volleyball game I've seen since Netherlands vs italy in 1996. GO RUSSIA !

Incredible game Brazil - Russia, great Alekno!

Am I the only one who notice Muserskiy was most of the time in 1 on 1 or 1vs0 situation? Guys please...brazilian lost by themselmes because they didn't know how to block Dmitriy but he didn't play better than any other player of this level...In 1v1 you are supposed to do the point 100% of the time even on low level...
Also Bernardinho lost the 4th set by playing with Giba and Thiago...
BTW I'm very disappointed to see the best team in the world losing because their best spiker is injured =(
In my mind they stay on top of the world but they deserved to proove it and claim the first place :s

Alekno the genius.But Muserskiy was unbelievable and I mean not only his spiking efficient but and he had some good defence (considering his height)!

MVP of course is Murilo Endres who else? =)

Joachim, Musersky was detrimental to winning the 3rd set, but after that the entire Russian team started playing like they can. Their serve started to go in, they handled their reception really well and got to work on block as well, Mikhaylov got back in the game as well, Granking was distributing well and he did not pass to Musersky that much at all after the 3rd set. You might also want to ask the great Rezende, why did his team insisted on serving in the russian libero when Mikhaylov was right there receiving as well.

I think they did it on purpose because his receiving was not so good and stable and serving on Mikhailov was a way to get him going back into the game so no need to ask Bernardinho.But I don't know why he start the fourth set with Giba instead of Dante...Somebody know if Dante was injured? Because otherwise I don't understand this change...Dante was playing quite well and has a very good block while Giba played very bad and never had a good block so very stupid to stop Muserskiy...

In my opnion, the MVP would be Bruno Resende or Tetyukhin

Musersky- fantastic coordination for his height.

MVP: Murilo Endres

MVP doesn't mean the best player, but the most valuable. The most valuable was Muserskiy I think. Congratulations for Murillo- he played really well on the Olympics, but I think that Muserskiy deserved this title.

MVP isn't just about the final match but about the whole tournament and Murilo was way more effective for his team in the tournament than Muserskiy was.That's why Murilo won it.

All awards to Musersky after this fantastic final with Brazil. I am still under feelings)

in 2010 i said that Russian NT could win Olympic games and world championship !
Nowadays Russia is the best team in the world thanks to great players !
Tetyukhin...what a player incredible server 36yrs old..
Mykhailov ..definitely best opposite in the world
Apalikov,Volkov..awesome middleblockers
Muserskiy 218cm guy and he play like a 190cm guy..3 years ago i said that this guy could become one of the best player of the world some people was laughin but yesterday he showed to the world what he can do really at the highest level !
Grankin and Butko two nice setter . not very impressive but quite well.
Khtey not really in shape on this tournament but really strong player
Obmachaev not really the best libero in the world but he played very good in London.

Why did Muserskiy play the spiker position?

I love Wallace! please make videos of him! ?

I thinks that's why Russia took only one offside(Mykhailov) to the Olympics. Musserskiy was their 2nd offside if they needed him.

That wasn't the first time Muserskyi played as a opposite.. his club team used him a lot as an opposite

John17, if Mikhaylov was the best opposite in the world, Muserskiy wouldn't have to interfere. Mikhaylov is still not Milijkovic, but he plays great as OH. This configuration from the final is more winning than the standard, the other Russian OHs are not enough firepower

P.S. Epinephrineable, Muserskiy often plays MB when on the net and Opp when in back row in Belgorod

Raylight, totaly agree with you about this point but only on this game, cause Mikhailov on the 3 world last competition or Champions league prove that he is the only one at the opposite position !
One of my friend played with Muserkiy since 6 years ago in Ukraine he told me that he can play in every position if he work hard.

None of the Russian outside hitters played their best in the first two sets. Musergsky can play any position, for sure, as all of us could see. Alekno made a great move to put him into opposite position. Brasilians were not ready for this. Kind of Gamova on the right side ;-)

Andy's it's spelled Muserskiy

MasterOPuppets when your comment is as short as "lol!" it is an attempt of spamming! Please do not do this in the future or you will be banned!!!

ахахахаххахаа

Rá, and that is something funny to see: Wilfredo and Master clashing to see who is the best spammer! ?

RenanZ you can also sometimes be a spammer!

thumbs up!

John17, Mikhaylov, Grozer and Sokolov are the current hopes for replacing Milijkovic, but all three have one big "disadvantage" - they are still young! Mkhaylov is further down the road, but he is still managable by Brazil /WC 2011, OG 2012/ while Milijkovic never was. Grozer and Sokolov are inconsistent but beasts. We will see how those three will develop in the future, not to forget Gavin Schmidt and Bartman who can interfere. The fact is that Milijkovic has no rival. Kaziyski for example /Alekno is his biggest fan/ already has 2 rivals - Juantorena /Kaziyski himself said that Juantorena is the best player in the world nowadays/ and Mikhaylov as OH. Zaytsev and Anderson are trying to catch them. For opposites the competition for the crown is weaker, no one is unstoppable yet.

ray you forget Wilfredo Leon and Aleksandar Atanasijevic.

shut up punk WIlfredo, Juantorena and SImon are the best and shut you mouth... Sokolov and Sokolov are you kidding me ??? Sokolov didn play much when he was in Trento and you compare now with the Great IVAN, Please listen to yourself, Michael Sanchez Bozhulev is 100 times better than Sokolov of course nobody counts players that dont play for his NT here.

Revan, change the dealer,man.. he's cheating you!

Don't judge him. He's a natural hater.

Revan is a joker, Qwerty is a hater

Was declared by CEV two times in a row, and because he is not Polish or Italian, they stopped with this prize, because he would get it third time in a row
