Russia move closer to Olympics
Russia moved to within a step of winning a ticket to next year's Beijing Olympics as they powered past Puerto Rico in the men's World Cup yesterday.
The Russians coasted to a 25-22, 25-21, 25-19 victory for an eighth straight win in the 12-team round robin competition in which the top three finishers will qualify for the Olympics.
In Tokyo, Russia will play against Bulgaria on Friday and Brazil will be on Saturday and one win over either of them will be enough to qualify for the Olympics.
