Kilic (Sokolova) Awarded CEV MVP

[itarusvolei]

Luba Sokolova was named Most Valuable Player for CEV, do you think this makes her best Russian player in the country's history? Many may argue that Gamova maybe most awarded after her career ends.

Here's how I would rate top 3 contemporary Russian hitters.

1.Artamonova
2.Gamova
3.Kilic
3a. Godina

Here's how I would rate top 3 contemporary all-around player Russian players.

1. Artamonova
2. Kilic
3. Gratcheva

I'd agree that Artamanova at her best was better than Kilic. Kilic may get some advantage in that she actually plays more than Artamanova who's career has been one injury after another. In my mind Artamanova is about even in attacking, and significantly better receiving. Kilic is probably a better blocker and digger. I'd give the edge to Artamanova because receiving is a much more important skill than blocking and digging.

Remember that Lyuba was 3rd best receiver in last WCH?
