"We work very hard and it is another proof that if we work hard we would win more than you lose," added the wonder-making coach, who remained calm and cool as usual at the press conference after the match.
"I never thought of winning the first place, never," he said. "I was able to be calm and enjoy the game today."
The Dutch players burst out with joy after the well-earned victory, chanting and singing loudly in the locker room.
"It was a big surprise to beat Russia and we did a great job this week," said Dutch captain Ingrid Visser, who contributed 11 points. "I should say congratulations to my teammates, the coach and the coaching staff. It is a great feeling. I am proud of what we did here."
The Russian team, who lost to China 0-3 Saturday evening, started well in the early match of the day, running off four straight points to overtake the lead at 19-17 and went on to clinch the opener.
Then the Netherlands rallied to dominate the game and take the next two sets easily, before Russia staged a 6-1 run for an unshakable 23-17 lead en route to the victory in the fourth.
In the tiebreaker, the Dutch women were unstoppable, jumping to a 3-0 cushion and never looked back.
"They did a great job in the last two years. Mr. Selinger set up an example in boosting the team's confidence and level," said Russia coach Giovanni Caprara. "They work hard, play well and try to be patient. It is a great success, and they deserve the title."
