The Russian national team completed the training camp, at the end of which they twice defeated the team of Belarus with a score of 3-0 in friendly matches.

– Certainly. For example, I don’t know what happens in international matches, if the opponents started playing faster. We gain experience when we play in such matches and see what the opponent is doing. We really need that kind of experience.

– Is there still hope that the team will play in the Paris Olympics?

“You always have to believe until the end. At any time we can be fired, that’s why we’re here, that’s why we train. We look forward to a positive decision,” Lazarenko told .

The Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024. Russian national volleyball teams are not allowed to qualify for Olympic qualifying tournaments.
