Former national player and former head coach of Germany’s Water Polo Women – Anja Skibba – is our next Juror in the female category. She’s been on the national water polo scene for a long time, leading the team to compete internationally.
During her playing career, Skibba had almost a hundred appearances in the pool, making her one of the most viable votes for the German Women’s pick.
Anja Skibba’s Total 5 of 2018
1st – Laura Aarts
Dutch National Player | Club: Dunaújvárosi FVE | Position: Goalkeeper
“The best goalkeeper of the European Championships in Barcelona. Her positioning while defending is almost unbreakable due to her fast responses and saved ball ratio.”
2nd – Beatriz Ortiz
Spanish National Player | Club: CN Sabadell | Position: Driver
“A great and assertive player with a powerful shot. Her playing is very dynamic as she dictates the rhythm of the game. Definitely a leading player.”
3rd – Ekaterina Prokofyeva
Russian National Player | Club: KINEF-Surgutneftegaz: Kirishi | Position: Driver
“Prokofyeva has been the main supporting player of the Russian team for many years now. Apart from being strong, she’s a really fast player with a good game overview and even better shooting technique, which is proven by her successful hit-rate.”
4th – Rita Keszthelyi
Hungarian National Player | Club: UVSE Budapest | Position: Driver/Wing
“Another strong player with a great control in the pool. Her technical skill is hardly outplayed, along with her great shots.”
5th – Catharina “Sabrina” van der Sloot
Dutch National Player | Club: AS Orizzonte Catania | Position: Wing
“Van der Sloot is a technically well-trained player, capable of reversing the match quickly and rushing for a counter-attack. She can pull it off thanks to her speed and precise passes and shots.”
