Angelina Grün (born 2 December 1979) is a German former volleyball player, who was a member of the German Women's Team at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.[1] Grün also competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.[2]

Career

A ninth-time consecutive German Volleyball Player of the Year (2000–2008), she played in Turkey for VakıfBank Güneş Sigorta Istanbul for the 2008–2009 season.[3]

After winning the European Champions League with the Italian team Foppapedretti Bergamo in 2007 for a second time after 2005, Grün was honored "Most Valuable Player" of the tournament.[4]

Starting her career in Münster, Germany, where she won the national title in 1997 and the Cup in 2000, she won several Italian Cups (2002, 2006), Championships (2004, 2006) and the CEV Cup (2002 and 2004).[5][6][7][8]

She was awarded Volleyball-Award 2010, by the Germany Volleyball Association for her services to the sport.[9][10] In April 2010 she decided to retire from indoor volleyball and switched to beach volleyball, partnering Rieke Brink-Abeler[11] playing the 2010 and 2011 Swatch FIVB World Tour.[12]

But she returned to indoor volleyball and played with her national team in the 2011 FIVB World Cup[13] and later played with the Russian club Dinamo Moscow[14] winning the 2011 Russian Cup[15] where she was the Most Valuable Player[16] and the 2011–12 Russian Championship silver medal, being also elected the best player in the Russian league that season.[17]

Grün won the silver medal and the Best Server award in the 2012 FIVB Club World Championship, playing with the Azerbaijani club Rabita Baku.[18]
