1993+ i think

1992/93 (and younger).

I check previous edition of tournament, see some names which is not known nowadays what happened to them? there was an injury finishing their career or they cannot reach senior international level?

Klineman Alexandra from USA
Costagrande Luisina from ITA
WITTOCK Jolien BEL
SMIRNOVA Irina
WALKENHORST Kira
Vanzurova Tereza CZE

Btw i see that Natalia Pereira was second best receiver in 2005 youth WCh and 2007 junior WCh. Is she normally OH originated player?
Ashley Engle was also have good stats while she was spiker, when she convert to setter?

Natalia is originally Opp. I think...at least in clubs she always played in the position...since when she used to play in MAcaé.

About Smirnova and Costagrande I don't know, other 4 players are still active. Walkenhorst plays in Aachen as OH/OPP, Klineman is in US NT in this year, Vanzurova was in WCH in Japan last year, plays in Olypm Prague (Czech league), Wittock plays in Infotel Forli (serie A2) as OH
Natalia Pereira can play as OH and also as OPP. She was OH in Brazilian NT in 2009, when Jaqueline took a break and didn't play in NT,

Kira Walkenhorst had serious injuries in both knees in the last years, but this season she finally returned to play in Aachen. Her plan is to concentrate on beach volleyball and give up indoor volleyball after this season, but it's not 100% sure yet.

Wasn't Wittock an opposite player?

is there any possibility that Costagrande is related to the famous one?

I know that Pereira can play as OH but i always thought that she is an Opp originated player and Ze try to convert her to OH.

Two important players of German team, setter Lucia Kaiser and MB/Opp Rebecca Schäperklaus decided not to participate in qualification tournament for WCH because it takes place at the same time as their A-level exams. Our coach Han Abbing is a bit angry and doesn't understand their decision, he says if they really wanted to play a solution could have been found for sure.
In general our current JNT is a rather weak generation, I don't think they will even qualify to WCH. There are some interesting players, but they all had serious injuries in the last year and are not in a good shape now (Sina Fuchs, Ana Capote, Pia Walkenhorst).

Matthias, how do ya know, Abbing´s angry ´bout their decision to not take part in the tourney?

Where won't They qualify?
