Just with the Italian team crowned at the Nations League Championship of the Nations League 2025 (VNL), Ekaterina Antropova impressed not only thanks to the terrible height, but also by the dazzling performance on the field.
Ekaterina Antropova was born on March 19, 2003 in Iceland, but was Russian nationality before being naturalized to play for the national team in the country. She owns an outstanding height of 1m96, has an ideal arm for arms and power, with a momentum of up to 3m35, while the ball reaches 3m20 – the dream numbers even with the male volleyball players.
Starting a professional career in Italy very early, Antropova is currently playing for Manh Scandicci Club. Her forte position is Opposite, where she can maximize the ability to attack, block the ball and serve the ball power.
In Scandicci shirt, she quickly asserted herself with explosive performances, often in the top scoring at the Italian national championship and the European Cup.
The highlight of Antropova is not only physical but also a spirit of blood, the ability to read a sensitive match and comprehensive ball handling skills. At VNL 2025, she is the main “cannon” to bring Italian to the championship, and at the same time among the athletes who score the most points in the tournament. The final against Japan is a clear example when Antropova records 25 points, including many attacks at the No. 2 position that cannot be blocked.
With angular face, blonde hair and strong style, Ekaterina Antropova also attracts a large number of followers on social networks. Her personal Instagram page has hundreds of thousands of followers, where she often shared her moments on the field, backstage training as well as dynamic images.
Only 22 years old, Antropova is expected to become a new symbol of women's volleyball, inheriting legendary names like Egonu or Boskovic. If she continues to maintain the current development momentum, she is not only the future of Italy, but also a face representing a generation of modern volleyball, where strength, techniques and personality converge.
