Volleyball fans from around the world voted with the key battle between Bear and Tiger. In the end it was Tiger who claimed victory with 45,9% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can look forward to meeting Tiger at next year&#8217;s event in Russia, which will be played in ten host cities across the country from August 26 to September 11. Dexterity, strength and fantastic jumping skills are some of the key characteristics of Tiger, who is an Amur Tiger, an animal which is much loved and protected in Russia.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-64734\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/240545947_4498120916916885_2829394212024281183_n-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/240545947_4498120916916885_2829394212024281183_n-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/240545947_4498120916916885_2829394212024281183_n-580x870.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/240545947_4498120916916885_2829394212024281183_n-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/240545947_4498120916916885_2829394212024281183_n.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tiger&#8217;s stripes resemble lightning bolts and represent the endless energy that will be on display at an electrifying World Championship in 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The mascot&#8217;s name will be announced soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The voting for the official mascot of the home World Championship became the starting point for the key events prior to the tournament. It is good to know that there was a huge interest from the fans&#8217; side, who had their say and also suggested names. One hundred and six thousand people took part in the mascot elections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stanislav Shevchenko, VFR President<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The mascot is an important part of a big sport event; organisers pay a lot of attention to making the mascot positive and recognisable, so that fans remember him for a long time. While working on developing the mascot, we had a lot of variants: fairy tale characters, animals and even some volleyball attributes. But only three of them were presented for a wider audience. Each of them was unique and included cultural characteristics and volleyball itself. Tiger \u2013 the winner \u2013 has strong connections with Russia. Many specialists are working in the Far East to save the population of Amur tigers. Our mascot is strong, dexterous, has an incredible jump and plays volleyball well &#8211; I bet he can demonstrate a top level game on the court! I believe he will become a bright symbol of the World Championship and will give lots of positive emotions to fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roman Stanislavov, General Director of the FIVB Volleyball World Championship Organising Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Related links of AVC<br \/>\nAVC Website: click www.asianvolleyball.net<br \/>\nAVC Facebook: click www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<br \/>\nAVC Twitter: click: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avcvolley&nbsp;<br \/>\nAVC Instagram: click: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<br \/>\nAVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<br \/>\nAVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans vote for Tiger as official mascot of FIVB Volleyball Men&#8217;s World Championship Russia 2022 From August 16 to September 3, fans voted to pick the official mascot of next&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":64733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[100,86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-slider","category-volleyball-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
