According to info from Brazil, Destinee Hooker wrote on her twitter that she broke her wrist. Still waiting for official info though...

Are there any videos of Walewska's team in Brazil...curious to see video of her playing all 6 rotations. I also wonder if she would return to the national team

I also wonder if she would return to the national team She has played as a 6 rotation middle for other professional teams. I remember her being as good defensively as most outsides and think her starting spot on the national team, if she were to return of course, is long gone to the ladies in the gym. |

Thaisa definitely has a size advantage over Walewska, but I think Walewska is faster and is more versatile attacking. I think she is also much better at closing the block JMHO
Fabiana and Thaisa are the only two middles with secure spots on the 2012 team in Brazil...the third middle spot has been somewhat of a revolving position since she left (Carol Gattaz, Adenizia, Juciely).

Our athletes need to take it easy this year. No more injuries! It's not a volleyball-related injury from what I hear. She had a fight with her boyfriend and injured her hand by punching a table. The tweet has since been deleted. Osasco didn't like her sending out tweets that she got injured before the club had the chance to officially look into it and announce it. |

I hope this isn't true, but if it is I hope she learns from her mistake and acts like an adult. Look where violence got Kim Willoughby, and yes I know the circumstances are completely different, yet violence is still the common denominator. |

Fenerbahce Universal won 3-1 and finished first in Pool B. They advance to the next round.
Anyone know what that long wrap on Tom's right arm was for? Injury?

I heard Tom has a bruised arm and she can't play with it bleeding (even just a little), hence the bandage. In one of the timeouts, you can see a turkish teammate checking on her arm. |

Just watched the latest game for Pesaro. Klineman is improving very fast. I'm very impressed with how high and hard she is hitting the ball. If she continues to improve her passing game, look out!
