The Sultans of the Net and the U.S. women’s volleyball team faced off on June 3 at College Park Sports Hall in Arlington, Texas.
The Sultans of the Nets defeated the United States 3-2 in the tiebreaker set, but the footage broadcast live on the screens at the end of the match was what made the impression of the day.
Images of Turkish female spectators in the crowd jumping to express their joy at the win quickly became a trend on social media.
“I was very happy to win.”
Nazrcan Irem Koroglu, whose name was on the agenda, spoke about his experience on match day on his YouTube account.
Koroglu said she was unaware that cameras were filming her and couldn’t see her mother’s messages because she didn’t have access to the internet. “There was no need for all that drama. I was there sharing my joy. I was doing that. It was a very nice, funny match.”
“My mother messaged me a lot.”
“For some reason, the camera was filming me, but I didn’t realize I was being filmed at all. I only saw it once, and at that moment they were filming me. My mom messaged me and said, ‘Daughter, they are filming you,’ over and over. So I didn’t see anything. Actually, I was very happy that we won. It was such a great video. I didn’t have to hurt my eyes,” he said.
what happened?
After the footage was broadcast live on TRT Spor’s screens while Turkey was celebrating its victory over the US, TRT issued a statement saying the US broadcaster was to blame.
Claiming that the resulting images were “undesirable images”, TRT management released a written statement on the issue.
In addition, access to the news released through the camera footage of Turkish fans was blocked by a decision of the Tekirdag II Criminal Court of Peace based on an application by TRT.
