Anouk Verge-Depre – Swiss volleyball player worth knowing
The Olympics have introduced us to thousands of new athletes across the world, some more interesting than others. Watching Switzerland’s beach volleyball team play over the weekend in Rio — and yes, it is odd for Switzerland to have a beach volleyball team — we saw Anouk Verge-Depre, an Olympian you might want to know about.
Verge-Depre is 24 and she’s a tall one at 6-foot-1 — no surprise for a volleyball player. Verge-Depre teams with Isabelle Forrer, and the two have posted three points to lead Pool C in the preliminary round of the beach volleyball event.
The Bern native has a career earnings total of just over $193,000 in international competition.
