"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."
