European champion, double winner of the Nations League Dmitry Volkov Speaking on the “Above Olympus” program on , he expressed hope that Russian volleyball players will soon be allowed to participate in all major international competitions.
Russian volleyball players have been suspended from participating in international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.
Earlier in May, Zenit Kazan’s replacement Volkov and Dynamo Moscow’s diagonal striker Maxim Sapozhkov signed short-term contracts with Qatari club Al-Rayan.
— It is very disappointing and annoying, but somehow it has already receded a little, now we are already at the stage of acceptance, probably that we will not be able to play this year. Until the end, you always hope that in the near future you will be allowed to participate in all major international competitions.
As for volleyball in Qatar, it was not clear. I was driving, one might say, to nowhere. Nobody knew much about what awaited me there. But I was very pleased. The training process is not comparable to ours. There, one might say, everything is cool. Two legionnaires arrive and carry the main burden. We did it with Max Sapozhkov.
More than once when I went there [в юности] according to the doctors, when no one could help me, they told me that it would be better for me to go to school. I was then 17-18 years old. And I remember very well the doctor’s words: “Why do you need this? Better go to school before it’s too late! Get a better education. But I chose a different path!” – Volkov said on the air of the program “Above Olympus. Volleyball” on “”.
The Paris Summer Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11.
