Bio
Ardo Kreek was born in Tallinn and first got involved with basketball but then was lured over to volleyball. He is the current captain of team Estonia, with Kert Toobal being injured. Kreek is the only active player who has been playing in all 6 EuroVolley tournaments with Estonia. Together with team Estonia has won 2 European League trophies and also World League group 3.
The co-hosts of EuroVolley Estonia have had to endure many painful setbacks in the tournament so far and have by now minimized their chances of progressing to the playoffs. However, they will run on the court on Thursday, hoping for a miracle to happen in front of their home crowd - to beat the Olympic champions France in the last match of Pool D and qualify for the next stage of the tournament. With the venue Saku Suurhall completely sold out for the match today, the amazing atmosphere is guaranteed for the closing performance of the pool.

France beat Estonia and win Pool D. Latvia grab last ticket for Ostrava
Article

Jean Patry“Last game was amazing because we haven’t played in front of so many people for more than a year. We have had a long summer with a lot of preparation, so we are a bit tired, but luckily we have a really good group and we can change players if someone needs a rest during the tournament.”

Oliver Venno“Today we had nothing to lose but a lot to gain, so we tried to focus more on our game than on the opponent. But we struggled a lot with the reception, their serve was just too good for us today.”
