The chairman of the HFR High Council Sergey Shishkarev in the framework of the Eastern Economic Forum analyzed the results of the Chinese national team performance in the Super League last season and shared his plans about the organization of an international tournament.
— Speaking specifically about the Chinese national team, this project succeeded. Fenix played the whole year in the past championship, placed 10th out of 13. I suppose, it is a serious result. It’s important, that Yevgeni Trefilov worked with the team. It was even suggested that Lyudmila Bodniyeva should go to China for one year. We hope that the result will be the successful performance in the qualification for the Olympic Games. If we don’t go to Paris, at least we will support the national team of China.
It’s great that we have such a format as the Friendship Cup. We plan to hold the tournament again, after that the Chinese team will go to the World Cup, — Match TV quotes the words of Shishkarev.
The Friendship Cup among women's teams was held twice in Moscow. Traditionally, in addition to the Russian national team, the teams from China and Belarus participated in it.
