The Chairman of the High Council of the HFR Sergey Shishkarev commented on the completed the day before Final Four of the Cup of Russia.
— As expected, the matches of the women’s Final Four turned out to be brilliant, uncompromising and unpredictable. I thank all the participants of the tournament for the selfless struggle. Astrakhanochka, which became the fourth, imposed a worthy resistance on its rivals in both matches, bronze award of Zvezda is a significant achievement for the club from Moscow region. And the rivalry between CSKA and Rostov-Don can hardly leave any supporter indifferent in principle. An incredible final plot with red cards, injuries of players, goalkeeper saves, great combinations literally captivated the audience. The capital club proved to be stronger this time and deservedly won the Cup trophy for the fourth time, and I congratulate CSKA on it. But I should note that Rostov-Don also looked very decent. There was actually a real holiday of handball in Moscow this weekend, it was great to see so many famous people in the sports world in the stands. I’m sure that the decisive matches of the national championship will be no less exciting, — Sergey Shishkarev said.
