Olympics-Volleyball- Turkey’s flamboyant spiker wants to snatch medal
When Ebrar Karakurt watched Turkey women’s volleyball team at the London 2012 Olympics with her family at home, she was 12. Fast-forward 9 years, and the opposite hitter Karakurt, sporting a bold bright pink hair, leads the way with 18 points in Turkey’s first game at Tokyo 2020, a 3-0 win against defending champions China. At times it’s been her natural dark brown, full bright blonde or streaks of blonde, but her favourite is the hot pink that she also picked for Tokyo, she said on Friday, speaking to Reuters at the Olympic village.
