Gallery: Ekaterina Gamova (200 words)
The one and only time that I saw Ekaterina Gamova play was on television on WTSN in August 2003 at home in Canada.
No, she was in fact, a great player with a massive block, great power attacks, a good serve, and seemed to be a leader on the veteran team even though she looked quite young and fresh.
Looking at these pictures of Ekaterina Gamova, you can see the warmth and delight in her personality- the playfulness and careful attitude, yet with a genious gift and gracefulness.
