Zhao Ruirui vs Ekaterina Gamova:
The Chinese women’s volleyball team won a hard battle over Russia at the 2004 Athens Games. We saw the girls from the Chinese team in tears of happiness at the victory. But the Russian team, which has won two consecutive silver medals, was seen with only one word: grief. In particular, the 2.02-meter-tall Ekaterina Gamova’s longing for the gold medal was hardly concealed with her sad tears. Unfortunately, however, Zhao Ruirui didn’t have a chance to counter Gamova in the final competition because Gamova was injured. It is hoped that this time the two top players will have a chance to compete for the highest glory.
