These kind of decisions are never easy, but they simply must be made. Vladimir Alekno has shortened the roster of the Russian national team to 16 names. He decided to cut 6 names from the wide list, including Igor Kolodinskiy, Victor Poletaev, Sergey Savin, Artem Ermakov, Ilya Vlasov and Valetin Golubev.
It is interesting to see that Aelkno decided to cut perhaps two top Russian talents – Victor Poletaev and Ilya Vlasov.
Check out the full roster of Russia:
Setters: Dmitri Kovalev, Sergei Grankin
Receivers: Evgeny Sivozhelez, Sergey Tetyukhin, Yuri Berezhko, Egor Kliuka, Alexander Markin
Opposites: Maxim Mikhaylov, Konstantin Bakun
Middle Blockers: Dmitry Muserskiy, Artem Volvich, Andrey Ashev, Alexander Volkov, Dmitry Scherbinin
Libero: Aleksey Obmochaev, Alexei Verbov
The European Olympic Qualifier is scheduled for January 5-9 and it will be held in Berlin.
