We can’t even remember the last time we saw him play at the World League?
It’s been like almost a month ago?
2012 Olympic Champion, Dmitriy Muserskiy, will finally play in the starting 6 versus Germany in their World League match later today according to a source. If Dima will indeed play, then we will see 2 towering giants on the court because Germany has Marcus Böhme who is 2.11 meters.

We bet it’s going to exciting!
German players also praise the talented Muserskiy who was Russia’s main weapon in the gold medal match versus Brazil. For sure you know what we’re talking about. Coach Alekno switched him from middle to opposite after Russia lost the first 2 sets. Eventually, Russia won the epic 5 set match and the rest is history.
“He is a pleasant, quiet guy and speaks good English. So I could talk with him more than with others. He is an exceptional player. For his size, he moves very well. He has shown in many games that he is a world class player. It is interesting to play with him, but also interesting to play against him.” says Germany setter Lukas Kampa.
Polish League Champion Jochen Schops also praises the Russian giant. “Muserskiy has – hardly imaginable in his size – a great touch and body control. In the last four years he has developed super fast. It is universally applicable, that makes him so valuable.” according to the German opposite.
Knowing both teams are in the hunt to qualify for the Final Round of the World League, no doubt the 2 matches they’d play this weekend will be interesting and entertaining to watch.
