Still known by followers of women's basketball around the world as Ekaterina Demagina, she is back knocking on the national team door once again having drifted in and out over the years. She has been a strong candidate for the last two tournaments, but was a late cut on each occasion although this time she may squeeze onto the roster with the team lacking any real depth or certainty in terms of ball-handlers. She deputised for Becky Hammon with Sparta&K last season and can also score at crucial times, so could be useful. She also knows what it's like to be successful with the national team in the past, having attained successive medals with silver at the 2006 FIBA World Championship and then gold at EuroBasket Women a year later.
