Award-ceremony
In the awarding ceremony in Nanjing, China, right after the final match between Brazil and Italy got finished, the FIVB has chosen a Dream Team of the tournament. There were two surprises, one on the setter position and the other one – the absence of Italy’s opposite Paola Egonu.
The member of the winning side Natália Pereira was named the Most Valuable Player and, of course, she has found her place in the 2017 Grand Prix lineup.
The Dream Team of the 2017 FIVB World Grand Prix:
Best Outside Hitters: Zhu Ting (CHN) and Natália Pereira (BRA)
Best Middle Blockers: Ana Beatriz Corrêa ’Bia’ (BRA) and Milena Rašić (SRB)
Best Libero: Monica De Gennaro (ITA)
Best Setter: Ding Xia (CHN)
Best Opposite: Tijana Bošković (SRB)
