This will be a great match between two powerhouses. I hope that both teams are on their game.
I'm going to put my money on China. They just seem a bit steadier, less prone to runs of errors. Their attack is the most balanced of any team so they're still potent even if one or two players aren't connecting. Can't wait to see Kun Feng work her magic on the Russian block.
The Russians, especially Karpol, look hungry for a gold medal. Is Artamonova healthy enough to play? I'd love to see her, Sokolova, and Gamova on the court at the same time pounding their heavy spikes at the Chinese diggers.

Is the Gold medal match going to be televised on tv? I don't see it on NBC's schedule for Saturday. Anybody knows?
I want China to win.

Well at least the match is going to be shown live.
Why oh why weren't the other matches just shown on the satellite channels instead of NBC? I know, hindsight is always 20-20, but still...........

Gamova is pounding but Sokolova seems to be hitting a lot of "zero's".

Russia takes first set, 30-28. This is one helluva match so far. Big bombing from Russia and dazzling defense from the Chinese.

Feng Kun and Yang Hao coordination is awesome. How come Wang LiNa is the L1 for China as she is position next to Feng when Yang seems to be the better attacker

Feng Kun and Yang Hao coordination is awesome. How come Wang LiNa is the L1 for China as she is position next to Feng when Yang seems to be the better attacker Could it be because Yang is the best backrow attacker? So China has a third attacker for two of the rotaions that Feng is in the front row. Zhou, the OPP, doesn't do much out of the back row...just my theory. |

Anybody catch RUS assistant coach Jeri Estes digging his nose on that sideline shot in G2? He was either digging his nose or biting his nail, looked like a nose pick to me, though.
