Poland is the champion of Europe. Russia won last World League tournament.  Together with Italy Russian volleyball is one of the best known in the world. Czech Republic has many excellent players, who play in the national clubs. Czech Republic will be one of the organizers of the European Championships and surely will present their best. In Katowice we will see about the possibilities of the team. For all participants of the tournament Memorial of Hubert Jerzy Wagner will be an exam of condition before the championships. The team who will win the Memorial will surely feel much stronger.

Each of the four teams has very strong players to present. One of them is a Russian middle position player Aleksander Wołkow. – We do not think about how our rivals are going to play in Katowice. More important for us is to take our condition into consideration. We have to work on the play of our team. Besides, the teams that we will face are very strong, especially Poland – said Aleksander Wołkow.
