Despite her young years 24-year-old Anastasia Belikova
is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Russian
juggernaut of a team.
Standing at 190cm she is by no means the tallest in
the squad but she plays a perfect supporters role to
the likes of Russia's big guns Evgenia Artamonova,
Elizaveta Tichtchenko and Ekaterina Gamova.
Volleyball is obviously a team sport and this is where
Belikova comes in, acting as a perfect foil in defence,
attack and general receiving of the ball.
She is an ideal versatility player for Russian coach Nikolai
Karpol and although she is more pronounced on defence
you will find her her over the court.
Having already played in two World Championship
campaigns, an Olympic Games and tasted World Grand
Prix success she has got the backing to continue
playing an important role in the Russia team, albeit,
not as infamously known as some of the other roles in
the team.
Despite her young years 24-year-old Anastasia Belikova
is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Russian
juggernaut of a team.
