Maria Stepanova, Sandrine Gruda and Ilona Korstin have demonstrated their talent on the basketball court.

Stepanova was named the 2006 FIBA Europe Women's Player of the Year, while Gruda earned honours as the top young women's player on the continent. Korstin, the Face of the Year of Women Basketball, finished fifth in the Player of the Year voting and played a key role in Russia's silver medal showing at last year's FIBA World Championship.

In a photo shoot held just prior to the EuroLeague Women All Star Game earlier this month, the trio showed that they also have ability to pose in front of the camera.
