Having won the tight match with the score 4:3 over the main rival “Fakel Gazproma” (Orenburg) “UMMC” from Verhnaya Pyshma retained the chances to win the championships. Alexander SHIBAEV in his duel against Dimitrij OVTCHAROV could bring the victory to UMMC with the score 4:1 but did not manage to win after leading 9:5 in decisive game. The winner of a latest European SuperCup – a Dane Michael MAZE – had lost his both duels to Alexey SMIRNOV (0:3) and Vladimir SAMSONOV (1:3). In the crucial game HOU Ingchao has beaten Alexey SMIRNOV masterfully (3:0).Before the last tour which will be held on 25-29 of April in Baltym (Ekaterinburg region) UMMC’s goal is very hard to reach to even considering the fact that their team consist of a strong players. To become the champion without counting sets UMMC has to win with the score 4:0. That is going to be a really hard game!The Kazan club “Kamdor” keeping a reserve with 5 points is hardly going to give their bronze medals to “SDYUSHOR-13″ from Nizhny Novgorod. Valery SHEVCHENKO’S team having a goal of getting into triple winners have all the chances to succeed. “DalEnergoSetProject” (Vladivostok) is an absolute leader in women’s Premier league. They have win only one match in the last 4th round to become champions. Some intrigue remains in the fight for silver. “Euromost-Kuban’” (Krasnodar) is on the 2nd place and has 2 points advantage over “SDYUSHOR-13″ (Nizhny Novgorod). But it is still hard to say ahead of the time that they are absolute vice champions. In Men-European Superleague Champions play-off SF SKK El Nino Praha overcame CVSE Swietelsky Wewalka Celldomolk 6:1. STAVO-IMPEX Holic beat Lokomotiva Vrsovice Aquecon Praha in the opening leg 6:4.

Wilfried LEMKE Special Advisor to the United Nations Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace Said:”The United Nations has long understood the unique power of sport for change; but for change to happen strong leadership is needed. The UNOSDP 2012 Youth Leadership Camp provides concrete and practical leadership skills from some of the best leaders and experts in the field in a truly collaborative spirit; this ensures that the lessons learned will guide these young leaders in their future endeavours. This pilot is a new starting point for the young beneficiaries of the programme we want to give them now the opportunities they did not get before.” The participants have been selected from nine countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Palestinian Territory. Furthermore four young people from Qatar who have been identified by the Reach Out to Asia organisation have been invited; thus enabling cultural differences to be appreciated.
