LSM special edition previews European Volleyball Championship and Latvia's squad

The European Volleyball Championship begins on Wednesday, with Latvia's national team among the participating sides. Ahead of the tournament, Latvian public broadcaster LSM produced a special edition programme in which sports journalists Kārlis Ķilkuts and Māris Bergs, together with former national team player Ingars Ivanovs, discussed the upcoming competition.

What was discussed

The programme's participants covered which players make up Latvia's squad for the championship, as well as which teams the side will face in Group D of the tournament. They also assessed which countries are considered the leading favorites to win the European title.

Context

The special edition was designed as an introduction to the major volleyball event, giving viewers and listeners an overview of what to expect in the coming weeks. The experts' assessment of the squad, opponents and overall balance of power helps frame expectations for Latvia's performance in a tournament that is set to begin later this week.

LSM will continue to follow the European Championship and Latvia's matches, reporting on results and developments throughout the competition.
