She’s sick and tired of losing to Gamova winning SILVER Medals!!!
Despite having already won 2 Olympic GOLD medals, Sheilla wants to win the World Championship badly.
The opposite hitter tells the FIVB:
“I am sick and tired of winning the silver medal. It is my fourth World Championship and I want to win the title. It would be a fantastic conclusion of a wonderful cycle. Especially for me with this World Championship probably being the last one in my career. In 2018, when the next World Champs will take place, I will be 35 years old and in the meantime I’d like to start a family and having a baby.
Now it is our chance to claim gold.
We are aware that it will be more difficult than in the past. The 2014 World Championship lasts longer, involving a greater expenditure of mental and physical energy. We will play match per match, not too much focusing on the thirteenth challenge, the possible match for gold.”
On the constant pressure of winning…
“We feel the right pressure and it is nothing new. We are Brazil and everyone expects something special from us. Fans from all over the world are wondering if we achieve our goal. We will do our utmost. We are focused and want it with all our heart.”
It’d be great for Brazil to win a World Championship Crown. It’s like the only missing title from their collection.
Sheilla and Brazil are currently competing in the Second Round of the Women’s World Championship. The team is currently undefeated after 7 matches.
