Lorenne Teixeira is one of many volleyball players in the team Flamengo who are looking for form when the super league has now started again.
- It's a fresh start.
Everyone is returning now, no one is in top form, she tells SVT Sport.
Volleyball is one of Brazil's biggest sports and both the men's and women's teams are constantly ranked in the top 3 in the world.
Four months isolated
The 37-year-old veteran Fabiola de Souza believes that 2020 is unlike anything else she has experienced.
- It was just to go home and sit in quarantine.
Four months without training.
Four months isolated.
It was a tough period.
But we Brazilians are struggling, we are not giving up.
Now the big goal is the Olympics in Tokyo next summer and to take revenge for the miscalculation in the home Olympics 2016, when it became a travel pass already in the quarterfinals.
- My dream is to take an Olympic gold.
It did not work in 2016. It is a very young national team that I think can surprise.
