At the beginning of the day, we came across a Russian student named Troshin Nikolai, who is a first-year doctoral student at Capital Normal University. During his undergraduate, he started to learn volleyball in Harbin and joined the volleyball team during his master period. It was the second time that he took part in volleyball games. As he said, "I am really crazy about volleyball and I have seen much progress of myself through years of training." He had been to Communication University of China once to take part in this volleyball match. This time, he has confidence and hopes to exploit the advantages to the full.

Mama Liedtke, an energetic girl from Poland, was on the volleyball team of Beijing Institute of Technology. She has been part of the team since she was in her first semester and this is the third semester there. Actually, Mama has been learning volleyball for ten years since she was a young girl. “I just love volleyball. In Poland, I spent at least 10 hours a week on practicing it. Now I even love it much deeper since I came to China. I just enjoy playing volleyball with these girls,” pointing to her teammates, she said.

Futura is from Italy, and she started to play volleyball at the age of four influenced by her mother. She played professional volleyball for around seven years in her country, from which she accumulated much experience and skills. It's the third year for her in China and her second year in the CUC volleyball team. She enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of playing in the team, and all the players of the team tried to build a familial environment. Last year girls from CUC won the gold medal of Volleyball Tournament of Capital Universities, "This year we are confident to win again,"Futura said.

Oleksii, a Ukrainian player shining on the team of Beihang University, has been part of the team for three years since his studying in China. “Actually, both my parents are volleyball lovers, so it is natural for me to develop an interest in playing it since I was ten,” he said expressing his admiration for CUC's new volleyball court.

 

Though a powerful hitter he was in the match, Oleksii is easygoing personally
