Oksana Kurt: "Medals are our maximum task at European Games"

The women's volleyball team of Azerbaijan defeated the team from Belgium during the volleyball match on June 19 at the First European Games. The outcome of the meeting was decided in the fifth game, in which the representatives of Azerbaijan defeated their opponents with a score of 15:6. The captain Oksana Kurt shared her impressions of the game with Vestnik Kavkaza.

- Are you satisfied with today's game? It was quite difficult.

- What should I say, of course, I would like to win more easily, but it wasn't that way. Because there are no weak teams, all the teams are professionals. The Belgian team is very quick, they complicated today's game for us a bit. We've had some problems at the block and defense. I am pleased that my team withstood and we won.

- What are your aims at the First European Games?

- There is only one aim – medals. We haven't any other aims here. We have our maximum task and we will try our best to fulfill it.

- How did today's game affect the balance of power in your group?

- Now we have a nearly equal points balance with Belgium, so we need to win the next game to be the first.

- How do you assess the level of the teams at this competition?

- The level of the teams which are standing at the top places is very high. Of course, there are countries that sent second teams, for example, Italy. But basically, the teams which came to win, such as Belgium, have sent their whole teams. Turkey, Bulgaria, Belgium sent their first teams, so the level is very high.
