It didn’t work with Brazil. During an intense moment of renewal, the Brazilian women’s volleyball team struggled, but could not resist the momentum of Italy, led by Paula Igono, in the Nations League final. The grand final match, which was held in Ankara, Turkey, ended in three sets to zero and partial 25/23, 25/22 and 25/22. The Italians are the champions of 2022, taking an unprecedented title in the competition.
In Brazil, Casey was the tournament’s top scorer with 14 points. Captain Gabi hit the ball 11 times, but it was not enough. It is the third consecutive silver medal in the selection in the League of Nations, after two titles for the United States.
But the scenario is different this time. Even the renewal led by coach Jose Roberto Guimarães yielded more than expected. Now, attention is turning to the World Cup in September and the sequel to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
