[fisicol92]

With Irina Voronkova spearheading Russia’s offence, her team put a stop to a four-match losing streak at the world level against China. In an FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix 2017 Group 1 encounter, held in Hong Kong, the Russians managed a 3-1 (25-23, 22-25, 25-18, 28-26) victory over the hosts of this year’s finals.

Voronkova was the most prolific spiker of the match, piling up 19 points in attack for a total of 20 in the match. Her teammate Kseniia Parubets was the best scorer of the game with 22 points, including four kill blocks. China’s Xiaotong Liu played only in the first three sets, but still led her team’s scorers with 15 points.

Ukraine International Airlines ajoute Le Caire et Delhi à son réseau

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AirJournal/~3/6CuZS5cgqiQ/2017-08-31-ukraine-international-airlines-ajoute-le-caire-et-delhi-a-son-reseau-5186799.html La compagnie aérienne Ukraine international Airlines lancera au printemps 2018 deux nouvelles liaisons au départ de Kiev, vers Le Caire en Egypte et Delhi en Inde. A partir du 6 avril 2018, la compagnie nationale ukrainienne proposera quatre vols par semaine entre sa base à Kiev-Boryspil et l’aéroport de Caire, opérés en Boeing 737-800 pouvant accueillir (186 passagers) ou 737-900ER (20 sièges en classe Affaires, 159 en Economie). Les départs sont programmés lundi, mercredi, vendredi et dimanche à 10h25 pour arriver à 12h45, les vols retour quittant la capitale égyptienne à 13h35 pour atterrir à 18h05 (durée de vol 3h30). Ukraine International Airlines sera sans concurrence sur cette route, sa première vers l’Afrique. Elle souligne dans un communiqué que les horaires sont conçus pour offrir « des correspondances optimales avec ses routes intérieures vers et depuis Odessa, Lviv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, Ivano-Frankivsk et Chernivtsi », mais aussi « des transits commodes pour les voyageurs d’Europe et d’Asie ». Sa directrice médias Evgeniya Satska rappelle que la compagnie met en place « depuis des années un modèle de compagnie de réseau en renforçant progressivement celui-ci », et que Le Caire est le second hub le plus important d’Afrique derrière Johannesburg. UIA n’y possède cependant aucun accord de partage de codes. Sous réserve d’autorisations gouvernementales, la compagnie lancera d’autre part le 1er mai 2018 trois rotations hebdomadaires entre Kiev et l’aéroport de Delhi-Indira Gandhi, opérées en 767-300ER pouvant accueillir 12 passagers en classe Affaires, 38 en Premium et 211 en Economie. Les départs sont programmés selon Airlineroute lundi, mercredi et vendredi à 11h00 pour arriver à 20h20, les vols retour quittant l’Inde mardi, mercredi et samedi à 11h40 pour se poser à 17h00. Ukraine International Airlines sera là aussi sans concurrence, une quatrième fréquence devant être ajoutée dès le début juin. Elle dessert déjà Pékin et Bangkok en Extrême-Orient. UIA n’a qu’une seule autre nouveauté programmée à ce jour, vers Eilat-Ovda, sa deuxième destination en Israël avec deux vols par semaine en 737-800 qui seront proposés du 30 octobre au 23 mars prochain. La compagnie a fêté le 8 aout dernier l’embarquement du 40 millionième passager de son histoire, une femme volant vers Amsterdam. Elle a transporté 4,9 millions de clients en 2015 et 6 millions l’année dernière ; elle espère accueillir en 2017 sept millions de voyageurs.

Volleyball World League Preview: Serbia, Brazil, France, Italy, Russia, USA and Poland and the others team will fight for the title

SERBIA - includes 2016 MVP Marko Ivovic and Best Middle Blocker Srecko Lisinca, who will be leading Serbia in the defence of the title which they won for the first time last year by beating Brazil in the final 3-0 in Krakow. Serbia coach Nikola Grbic has begun rebuilding his team ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in an effort to rebound from the disappointment of missing Rio 2016 for the first time in a quarter of a century.  

BRAZIL, the most decorated team in the history of the competition with nine titles, on the other hand, are taking a different approach after winning their third Olympic gold last year in Rio 2016. Mastermind of the Brazilian success coach Bernardo ‘Bernardinho’ Rezende stepped down after Rio 2016 following 15 years at the helm, to be replaced by Los Angeles 1984 Olympics silver medallist Renan Dal Zotto in his first National Team coaching appointment. Although Rio 2016 MVP libero Serginho has retired from the National Team following the Games, Dal Zotto will be counting for the 2017 FIVB World League on some huge stars and the legacy of 2016, including Best Opposite Wallace Souza, Best Outside Hitter Ricardo Lucarelli and Best Setter Bruno Rezende.

FRANCE: The outside hitter Antonin Rouzier, who moved from Istanbul Buyuksehir Belediyesi to Yenisei Krasnoyarsk ahead of the 2017-18 club season, has not been included in his country’s roster. Following the Rio 2016 Olympic Games the 30-year-old had announced his retirement from the National Team. But libero Jenia Grebennikov, last year’s World League Best Libero who played a pivotal role over the club season in leading Cucine Lube Civitanova to the Italian Superleague title, remains in coach Laurent Tillie’s arsenal - alongside the other huge stars of France including 2015 World League MVP Earvin Ngapeth, Benjamin Toniutti, Nicolas Le Goff and Kevin Le Roux.

ITALY, who lost to France in the bronze medal match in straight sets last year, have reshaped their line-up for 2017. They lose their top wingmen Ivan Zaytsev and Osmany Juantorena plus Emanuele Brarelli this year, but will count on Filippo Lanza to pick up the slack from the outside. And of course there’s 2016 World League Best Setter Simone Gianelli to orchestrate their offence. RUSSIA, who have certainly had their ups and downs since winning Olympic gold in London 2012, have also had a change of leadership on the bench, with Sergey Shliapnikov picking up the head coach position from Vladimir Alekno.

With only Dmitry Volkov, Dmitry IIlinykh and Egor Kliuka staying on from the squad that finished fourth in Rio 2016 coach Shliapnikov has revamped the Russian team in attempt to bring it back on track.

POLAND will be headed by two-time Olympians Michal Kubiak and Bartosz Kurek, as they seek to return to the World League podium for the first time since they won gold in 2012 - when Kurek was named MVP.

USA will be looking at repeating their 2014 World League gold, counting on the likes of that year’s MVP Taylor Sander on the outside, complemented by setter Micah Christenson and libero Erik Shoji.

The lone Asian squad in the top-tier group, Iran, are likely to showcase their finest players including setter and captain Mir Saeid Marouflakrani, Argentina, will continue their quest to develop. Coach Julio Velasco called up a mix of new players and veteran players, Belgium coach Vital Heynen will hope to count on top-scoring stars Sam Deroo and Gert Walle, while Bulgaria will have hard-hitting Tsvetan Sokolov and Todor Skrimov on their lineups. Canada, who won promotion to Group 1 will also go through some adjustments under new coach Stephane Antiga.

They were outscored by Poland’s Dawid Konarski and Canada’s Ryley Brendan Barnes, who topped the charts with 15 points each, and by Jason Derocco, who tallied 13 points for coach Stephane Antiga’s squad.
