Myriam Sylla and Paola Egonu (who was awarded the prize as best player of the tournament) were once again among the best on the field for the Italian team, but the glory must be attributed to all the girls, who were able to grit their teeth in difficult moments and, in the end, took the greatest satisfaction, but also unexpected in some respects.

Egonu guaranteed Italy 29 points, Sylla 20, to which are added the 13 lengths of the Petrini, the 8 of the Danes and the 2 of the Malinova, while Chirichella stopped at one. The match lasted just under an hour and three quarters: that was enough for Mazzanti's team to ascend the throne of Europe and rewrite the history of Italian volleyball once again.
