On Monday, June 27 in the SC "Igrovoi" the first training of Russian National team was held. Our team will play at EuroBasket in Lithuania from August 31 to September 18.

— Yesterday we started the first training, — said Vyacheslav. — It was preceded by a team dinner and a meeting. The coach mr. Blatt told that everyone has a real chance to find himself in the final list of the National team and go to the European Championship. He also noted that despite it was the first training, there won't be easy and light trainings — he wants to see us at work. Moreover mr. Blatt emphasized that all of us are the members of the National team.

For me this challenge is not a surprise — I have known long ago that I would go to the first meeting. And I'm preparing for it. It's a great honor and responsibility. I am happy I am in the position of the National team. I will try to show all my best.
