In the just-concluded 2021 World Women's Volleyball National League, the Brazilian women's volleyball team was tragically reversed in the case of leading a set, and finally lost to the American women's volleyball team 1-3, and won the runner-up again after 2 years. The best team announced after the game, receiving Tandara and deputy attack Caroline, was selected into the best team, which can also be regarded as making up for the regret that the Brazilian women's volleyball team did not win the championship.
The 39-year-old Caroline is a true veteran of Brazil's women's rankings and the best-in-form player in the current Brazilian women's volleyball team. In the final with the United States women's volleyball team, Caroline contributed 3 blocking points, 12 dunks 9-in-0 error dunk success rate and efficiency reached 75%, with the performance of the World League, Caroline finally impressed head coach Guimarães, and won the opportunity to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games, which was also the first time in Caroline's career to participate in the Olympic Games.
Since Fabiana had just given birth, Taiza also announced her retirement from the national team. In order to make up for the gap in the team's vice offensive line, head coach Guimarães recruited the 39-year-old veteran Caroline based on the performance of the Brazilian Super League, and as the main secondary attack focus. It turns out that the experienced Caroline is still online, not only can show strong strength in the attack of the second and third positions, but even the mobile blocking net can quickly block with the second and fourth position end blocking nets, and organize an effective counterattack. After years of perseverance, Caroline finally got the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games, which is probably Caroline's last Olympic Games.
Caroline's first Olympic participation was followed by vice-attackers Biya and Carol, who received Rosa Maria, freeman Camilla and 17-year-old Christina. Cristina is 24 years younger than Caroline, which means that when Caroline was selected for the national team, Christina was not yet born, such a large age span can only be seen in the Brazilian women's volleyball team.
In contrast, Shera, Danilings and Adenizia, who are also veterans, were not so lucky. According to the Olympic 12-man list released by Brazilian women's volleyball coach Guimarães, the 3 players were all lost, of which Danillins's defeat was slightly unexpected, and Adenizia's elimination was even more helpless, only Shera's departure allowed fans and Brazilian audiences to understand.
Shera is 1 year younger than Caroline, is the core member of the Brazilian women's volleyball team in the past three Olympic cycles, and is also the number one contributor to winning two consecutive Olympic championships. After the defeat in Rio, Sheila chose to marry and have children, but chose to make a comeback due to the needs of the national team. It's just that today's Sheila is no longer the strong response of the year, the years have long left traces on Sheila's face, and the decline in competitive status has made Sheila lose her previous strength, and it is inevitable that she will not be selected.
However, Sheila was very open to her defeat in the Tokyo Olympics and expressed her views on social platforms. Sheila said that if the national team still needs it, she will still choose to return. It's just that after Guimarães retires, whether the national team will continue to recruit veterans is still unknown, and perhaps fans can see Sierra's style again in the professional league.
