Katya
Women's volleyball Olympic final. A historic day. Brazil and Italy, a new rivalry. But something much more than gold was being played in that game. Ekaterina Antropova and Manuela Bergmann. Enemies on and off the court. Antropova, Russian-Italian opposite, 2.02 tall, 22 years old, one of the best women's volleyball players in the world and Manuela Bergmann, German-Brazilian, one of the best and most complete volleyball players. 1.87 of pure talent, 21 years old. Both were in their first Olympics, each with their own teams. Manuela Bergmann with Brazil and Ekaterina Antropova with Italy. That final was a silent war between them. They played for rival clubs in the Italian women's professional volleyball league. There was provocation on and off the court, behind the scenes and in the media. The game was about to start and it wasn't going to be easy.
