Birthday for five athletes

June 24, 2005 - Five athletes had their birthday during the FIVB Women's U20 World Championship and a few days before. They are Martina Matic (Croatia, 21/07/1986), Saki Sugimoto (Japan, 21/07/1986), Anna Beskova (Russia, 22/07/1986), Ivana Nesovic (Serbia and Montenegro, 23/07/1988) and Ergul Avcý (Turkey, 24/07/1987).

The Organizing Committee of the games took it under consideration and offered souvenir presents to the four of them on the first day after the games, with the familiar birthday tune playing for them, whereas, on the second day of the games, there was a bigger surprise for Ergul.

The athletes were surprised and happy because they didn't expect it, so they thanked the President of Turkish Federation Prof. Dr. Husnu Can for this kind thought and gesture.
