Christina Bauer

Christina Bauer's story reads like a novelist's invention: born in Bergen during a Christmas trip to a French volleyball-playing father and a Norwegian handball-playing mother, she grew to 196 cm and ultimately wore the French jersey at the European Championship and the Paris Olympics. What grips me isn't the pedigree but what she did with it. Athletic bloodlines open doors; they don't win you a spot at the Olympics. The fact that her birthplace and her flag don't match adds a lovely layer of identity to the tale. I imagine her presence at the net was as reassuring as her backstory is romantic.
