Press release

Sergey Ovchinnikov, coach of Russia: We didn't lose concentration and we played well every set and did our work. We are happy to be 4-0 and will try to get the victory in the next matches.

Luca Cristofani, coach of Peru: I have some veteran players who are tired, so we had to make adjustments and give them a rest. We have a team with eight young players that don't have a lot of experience to play consistently at this high level. I am happy the way they have played. We will use the experienced players in the next game.

Maria Borisenko, captain of Russia: It was not such a good time for the game at 11:00 a.m. We were tired and did could not play at 100 percent today but it was another step on the way to get a ticket for the London Games.

Diana Soto, captain of Peru: It was a very tough match. Our muscles are tired. We played well for moments with our attack but at the end we could not score enough points.

Alexandra Munoz, player of Peru: The game was tough. The opponent was strong. We did our best. It was unfortunate that we could not win.
