The Palace of Sporting Games "Uralochka" (DIVS) () is a multi-purpose arena on the shore of the Iset River in the city center of Yekaterinburg. It has a capacity of 5000 spectators and is the second largest sports arena in the city, with KRK Uralets being the largest. Volleyball and basketball clubs of men and women, as well as a futsal team play their home games at the arena.

For this reason, governor Eduard Rossel of Sverdlovsk Oblast decided in March 2000 to build a new sports arena. Construction officially began on 5 June 2001. The Austrian ''E. Fuhrmann B ...

Shield Of The European Union
A shield is a piece of personal armour held in the hand, which may or may not be strapped to the wrist or forearm. Shields are used to intercept specific attacks, whether from close-ranged weaponry like spears or long ranged projectiles such as arrows. They function as means of active blocks, as well as to provide passive protection by closing one or more lines of engagement during combat. Shields vary greatly in size and shape, ranging from large panels that protect the user's whole body to small models (such as the buckler) that were intended for hand-to-hand-combat use. Shields also vary a great deal in thickness; whereas some shields were made of relatively deep, absorbent, wooden planking to protect soldiers from the impact of spears and crossbow bolts, others were thinner and lighter and designed mainly for deflecting blade strikes (like the roromaraugi or qauata). Finally, shields vary greatly in shape, ranging in roundness to angularity, proportional length and w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
