Germany off with sensational win over Turkey
Germany produced a 3-1 (25-15, 21-25, 25-21, 25-21) upset of one of the tournament favourites, Turkey, in the opening game of the women’s continental Olympic qualifier in Apeldoorn. The first set was competitive only through 8-8. Germany broke away on the wings of a 10-1 run and never looked back. Outside spiker Hanna Orthmann scored eight times in the set and closed it off at 25-15 with a spike.
Turkey’s reaction was immediate. With Hande Baladin on fire in offence and Zehra Gunes delivering the blocks, they stormed into the second set with a 4-0 run and widened the gap to as many as eight points on the way to a 25-21 win. The Germans regained control of the scoreboard after 4-4 in set three and with Louisa Lippmann’s six spiking points kept the pace to a 25-21 close. The tightest battle was in the fourth set, at least through 18-18.
Germany made up for the many unforced errors with prolific spiking and blocking to take the upper hand on the way to another 25-21 win. Orthmann contributed as many as nine points in the set towards a match high of 23. Lippmann, who put away the last ball of the match, finished with 22.

Felix Koslowski"First of all, I want to congratulate my team, after a really short time to prepare for this tournament, espeically in this kind of match against Turkey, a team with many elite players. I think they did a very good job at coming back in the second se being down 8 or 10 points."
Coach of Germanz
Jennifer Geerties"I thin kwe were a little surprised today. We prepared really well but we did not have much time. To find the perfect condition in the first game is touh, and we made a lot of unforced errors, but we received well so we could use our good spikers like Lippman and Orthmann."
