Volleyed Out


Artykuł pochodzi z pisma "New Warsaw Express"

Poland’s male and female volleyballers got that sinking feeling last week when both crashed out of their respective last chance Olympic qualifying tournaments. Probably the bigger surprise came from the women’s team, who lost to the Turkish side they beat with ease in winning the European Championship jsut months ago. The Poles also beat Turkey in last year’s World Cup, but have failed to show their top since. Most commentators blamed a lack of cohesion and consistency for Friday’s disappointing 3-1 defeat, made all the more painful by Germany’s crushing victory over Turkey in the final a day later. Poland had breezed past the Germans in the pair’s qualifying group, but it is the latter who will gp to the Athens Olympics.
Meanwhile, the men’s team’s humiliation in the group stage of their tournament prompted a full-scale inquest into the state of the Polish game. “A few more matches like this and the boom in men’s volleyball in Poland is going to end very soon,” warned former national coach Waldemar Wspanialy
afterwards.
