VOLLEYBALL SETTERS : WOMEN (Part 1)

I am always amused  with the setting skills of volleyball players. They have different styles, different techniques and different charms. I have chosen some of the noted volleyball setters in different countries. This is the first part of a series that I am going to write about.

TURKEY bowed down CHINA

Bronze medalist in 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix, Turkey, bowed down from the strong Chinese squad during the match yesterday.

The Chinese survived from the Turkish claws in a 5-setter game, (3-2), 19-25,  25-17, 25-20, 15-25, 15-10.

It was  very evident that the Turkish squad had a strong dominance in their opening set and easily swallowed the Chinese in 19-25. 

But the Asian powerhouse bounced back in the next two sets and outscored turkey in 25-17, 25-20 respectively.

Turkey was trying to snatch the match and bounced back in the 4th set, 15-25 and forced China to play the deciding set.

The Turkish tried their best to outsmart the Chinese but the latter was so unstoppable and sealed the match in 15-10 leaving Turkey another loss for this week's matches.
