We grabbed the Olympic qualification at the first opportunity and we played a tournament of the highest level. The best moment? When we scored the last point during the match against Poland; it was something crazy because in the biggest game of our event all of us were able to play amazingly, proving to deserve the prestigious result. In a few weeks, however, we will play the European Championship and we all know that we have to work a lot to get something important.”
