Lausanne, Switzerland, January 19, 2016 – Before 2015 Germany’s Ilka Semmler had competed at three FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, but last year’s tournament in the Netherlands saw the 30-year-old celebrate her best result, as well as swoop the best blocker award.
The Berlin native claimed a fourth place alongside Katrin Holtwick and a lot of the team’s success came thanks to Semmler’s sterling work at the net. Here are some of her best moments from The Hague and Rotterdam.
