she did never played at the Olympic Games, but she was part of the Italian women's Volleyball team that won the 2002 World Championships...

 

Sara Anzanello died earlier today at the age of 38, after a long fight against the consequences of a fulminant epatitis she got in 2013 while playing her club Volley in Azerbaijan (she did have a liver transplant too, 5 years ago)...
