    Bio

    Ardo Kreek was born in Tallinn and first got involved with basketball but then was lured over to volleyball. He is the current captain of team Estonia, with Kert Toobal being injured. Kreek is the only active player who has been playing in all 6 EuroVolley tournaments with Estonia. Together with team Estonia has won 2 European League trophies and also World League group 3.

    The co-hosts of EuroVolley Estonia have had to endure many painful setbacks in the tournament so far and have by now minimized their chances of progressing to the playoffs. However, they will run on the court on Thursday, hoping for a miracle to happen in front of their home crowd - to beat the Olympic champions France in the last match of Pool D and qualify for the next stage of the tournament. With the venue Saku Suurhall completely sold out for the match today, the amazing atmosphere is guaranteed for the closing performance of the pool.

    France beat Estonia and win Pool D. Latvia grab last ticket for Ostrava

    Article 9 September 2021

    Estonia entered the match with a dim hope of progressing to the next round. A win over the current leader of the pool France was needed to make that happen, however, a miracle did not happen today at Saku Suurhall. France took a 3-0 victory and will progress to the next round with a sole lost set in their 3-1 win over Germany. The standings of Pool D close with France, Germany, Croatia and Latvia leaving for Ostrava in this order, while Slovakia and Estonia end their #EuroVolleyM campaign.

     

    Despite the best efforts of more than 4000 supporters of Estonia, the Olympic champions showed to be the class of their own. Estonia was weaponless against France’s serve with Trevor Clevenot taking his team ahead 17-10 in the first set.

     

    The starting six of team France did not include two star players Earvin Ngapeth and Jean Patry, which nevertheless did not affect the favorites’ performance. With ruthless serve and attack they won the set 25-17.

     

    Estonia fought hard to keep up in the third set. In the middle of the set France started to gain advantage and despite some brave defence moves from Estonia, France ended the set 25-19.

    “Last game was amazing because we haven’t played in front of so many people for more than a year. We have had a long summer with a lot of preparation, so we are a bit tired, but luckily we have a really good group and we can change players if someone needs a rest during the tournament.”

    Jean Patry
    Opposite of France

    “Today we had nothing to lose but a lot to gain, so we tried to focus more on our game than on the opponent. But we struggled a lot with the reception, their serve was just too good for us today.”
