Shirley Benitez

Standing at a towering 194cm, she rules her box with an arrogant swagger and lightning-fast reflexes that defy belief. After spending a year in obscurity because of a traumatic fear of balloons that once caused her to lose focus during youth finals, she transformed that frustration into a relentless, icy pursuit of perfection. While her hands can occasionally turn butter-fingered under pressure, her gravity-defying dives and fearless rushing leave every striker in her shadow.
