Russia Women's National Team

Women Russia NT won multiple medals and titles in major volleyball events such as the Olympics, World Championships, World Cup, World Grand Prix and the World Grand Champions Cup. With forward-thinking coach Yuri Marichev at the helm, Russia are starting another era by harnessing immense talent that will gradually take them back to their prominent form. Russia brags a long list of legendary names such as Evguenia Artamonova, Elena Godina, Elizaveta Tichtchenko, Elena Vassilevskaia, Lioubov Sokolova, and Ekaterina Gamova, who have all been a part of one of the most glorious eras of the team in its history. Former team leader Ekaterina Gamova who helped them to win the 2010 World Championship is no longer in the team, but with Maria Borodakova and Natalia Obmochaeva. Having a new coach meant having to undergo with a lot of adjustments, but this was not the case for Russia as they have redeemed themselves easily, taking the European Championship title after falling short of a World Grand Prix Finals appearance in last year. Tatiana Kosheleva took home the Most Valuable Player award while team-mate Ekaterina Pankova won the Best Setter award at the European Championship.
