Paola Egonu scored 29 points (3 blocks, 43.8% offensive) during the match against Brazil in the Nations League of women’s volleyball. The opposite was able to make the difference at least until halfway through the fourth set, then the intensity of his action dropped a bit. Italy was leading 2-1 and 15-11 and seemed to be headed towards their sixth consecutive victory in the prestigious international traveling tournament, but unfortunately a few too many service errors put the green and gold team back on track, capable of recovering and winning on tie-break.
Team defeat (the second in the event, after the one suffered on the debut against Poland), but an important individual response arrived for Paola Egonu, who in fact achieved a new world record. The bomber jacket has in fact rewritten the speed record for an attack: at 12-12 in the third set, the Italian crushed diagonally reaching the 116 km/h.
A real stone throw, with which he has shattered the previous record that belonged to it: 112.7 km/h in the 2022 Nations League final, won by our national team 3-0 against Brazil. In this Nations League the most powerful attack was that of the green and gold bomber Ana Cristina, capable of reaching 112 km/h with a pipe during the first set of Canada-Brazil. Italy occupies third place in the general standings and will return to the field tomorrow in Macau to face hosts China.
