TOKYO kyrie 2 huarache pas cher , Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graca hailed the 2014 FIVB World Grand Prix a great success as the premier annual FIVB women's volleyball event lowered its curtain here on Sunday.
"It's been a tremendous week for women's volleyball and the culmination of an outstanding edition of the World Grand Prix," Graca said.
"This year we have a record 28 teams playing, instead of 12 in the past, and this has provided great opportunities for more countries and regions to take part at the highest level.
"The most important thing is that we gave the chance to develop to some countries and regions that did not have the chance to play the World Grand Prix before. Now they have the chance, they can come up and improve their level step by step," he added.
"You have to improve by playing against strong teams and seeing what all the other teams are doing. Only practice is not enough."
With this year's World Grand Prix divided into three groups kyrie 2 gold medal pas cher , the contention for a berth in the Finals of Group 1 became more difficult than ever. Ten teams out of 12 had collected four wins or more in the Preliminary Round, but only four of them could join the hosts Japan and Group 2 winners Belgium in the Finals.
"Teams are improving very quickly and there were a lot of surprises, good surprises, like Turkey," Graca said. "Can you believe the United States were not in the Finals? They were the champions from 2010 to 2012. I have told the players that to be here in the Finals is already a champion."
With the last day's matches still to play, hosts Japan have had an impressive run in the Finals to guarantee their best finish in the World Grand Prix kyrie 2 flyknit pas cher , but their performance was no surprise to Graca.
"I always said if Japan changed their way of playing, they were going to win. Two or three years ago, they were playing like 20 years ago," he said. "Now their women's team is completely different and I hope their men's team start to play with a different style as well."
Graca believed that the sport of volleyball will get more and more popular around the world.
"For the London Olympic Games, we had 143 countries and regions playing for the qualification of beach volleyball. For the Rio de Janeiro Games, we have 195. As for volleyball kyrie 2 fantasy night pas cher , we have 175 countries and regions trying to qualify for the Rio Games. We are not a sport concentrated in one part of the world. We are popular all over the world," he said.
HELSINKI, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Children writing to Santa Clause in Finland may not get any response this year, or if they get one, it could be only written in English.
Half a million people, presumably mainly children kyrie 2 easter pas cher , wrote to Santa Clause in Finland last year, and those giving a complete, clear return address were supposed have received a printed response telling about Finland and its Lapland area where Santa Clause supposedly lives.
Due to saving measures at the decade-old Santa Clause postal office, only "a few thousand" responses will be sent this year and they will be written in English only, the Director of Consumer Letters at the postal service Ulla Seppala told Finnish magazine Seura.
Auli Sihvo, the foreman of the Santa Clause post office located in Rovaniemi kyrie 2 champion pas cher , told Seura that children worldwide write to Santa Clause about their wishes and their lives but they probably cannot even imagine that they would get a response.
However, she assured that all letters will be opened this year even though a response may not be sent.
Santa Clause responses have been a successful brand for the Nordic country. Last year China became the main source of letters, surpassing earlier major senders such as Britain and Poland.
The response from Santa Clause has been written in numerous languages, but this year the children worldwide apparently will receive English letters only.
So far the Santa Clause post service has got a small compensation from the government. Last year it was 84,000 euros (about 91,560 U.S. dollars) kyrie 1 usa pas cher , but the post office has decided not to apply for the assistance for 2015 any longer.
Director Seppala was quoted by Seura as saying that "filing the application was also a cumbersome process". She was not willing to specify the size of the savings the postal service makes through reducing the operations.
In a bigger picture, the Finnish national postal service has been reducing its staff in recent years. Last autumn 239 employees were dismissed throughout Finland.
LONDON, March 30 (Xinhua) -- There will be no British soccer teams at next year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro after the English Football Association failed to reach agreement on united teams with the country's other associations, according to the BBC on Monday.
The FA has hoped to send both men's and women's teams to Rio but came up short in convincing the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish soccer associations.
Britain sent men's and women's teams to the London Olympics in 2012, with both teams reaching the quarterfinals.
