Frankfurt am Main, Germany, November 17, 2009. Former international and Germany’s Volleyball superstar Angelina Grün has decided to turn the page in her outstanding career. Germany’s most successful female indoor Volleyball player will indeed form a new Beach-Volleyball pair together with Rieke Brink-Abeler. Their future aim is to be a part of the top teams on the SWATCH FIVB World Tour.
Grün is ranked as one of the world’s best indoor attackers. She already took part twice in the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004) and several World and European Championships. With her club teams in Italy (Modena and Bergamo respectively) she clinched all trophies a Volleyball player might be seeking for (National League and Cup, plus the CEV Indesit Champions League). In Germany she has been selected as “Volleyball player of the year” nine times in a row (2000-2008).
Grün, who was born in Dushanbe (Tajikistan), played for the last time with the German national team last year. After a short break from Volleyball, she returns now as motivated as ever but on a different surface.
