Alexander Zybin: "This will be the first 3-on-3 tournament for our female players"

Ahead of the upcoming Eurasia Jastar Cup, head coach of the senior Russian women's national team Alexander Zybin shared his expectations.

Russia W head coach Alexander Zybin:

- For both me and the girls, this will be the first time we play 3-on-3. Although this is practiced at club level in overtime, we have never competed against male players using a 3-on-3 format. It will certainly be a useful experience for us! Naturally, we understand the difficulty of the upcoming competition in Minsk, but it will allow us to progress and develop.
