Oval hosts FIVB Grand Prix

National women's volleyball team goes 1-2 on homour court in four country event

Capacity crowds generated an electric atmosphere at the Richmond Olympic Oval last weekend for the final stop of the 2017 FIVB World Grand Prix.
The three-day event featured women’s national volleyball teams from Canada, Germany, Peru and the Czech Republic. The hosts finished with a 1-2 record that was highlighted by a win Saturday over Peru.
The Richmond stop concluded the Grand Prix season. Canada finished with a 3-6 record in Group 2, its best performance in the program’s history. Earlier this year, the national team re-located its training centre at the Oval from Winnipeg.
