Russia win second World League title in classic 2011 final | FIVB - Press release:
"World No. 2 Russia beat the world No. 1 Brazil to claim their second World League title after five exhilarating sets 3-2 (23-25, 27-25, 25-23, 22-25, 15-11) in front of a fantastic Polish crowd at the Ergo Arena in the port city of Gdansk on Sunday.
Much was made of this much anticipated final between the two best men’s teams in the world, which was a repeat of the 2010 final - which Brazil won - and they didn’t disappoint. MVP Maxim Mikhaylov was simply exquisite on attack, top scoring with 26 points while the block of Dmitriy Muserskiy, Alexander Volkov and captain Taras Khtei was outstanding. But the great supporting act for Russia came from 22-year-old Denis Biriukov who spiked and blocked his way to 15 points to give Russia their 14th World League medal but their second title after beating Brazil in 2002."
