Carolina Solberg Salgado

Carolina Solberg Salgado (Born August 6, 1987 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian beach volleyball player.

Carolina is considered to be one of the sports up-and-coming stars, having made an impression on a number of local Brazilian tournaments and several overseas beach volleyball tours. Most notably, she won a gold medal in the 2004 FIVB Under-18 World Championship and again in the Under-21 World Championship in 2005.

Prolific in almost all aspects of the game, she is well known for her powerful spikes and nearly pin-point accuracy, often being able to hit and serve right on the line. Still only in her late teens in a sport teeming with near thirty-something veterans, her potential is highlighted even more as she has years to develop and perfect her game.

A strong volleyball tradition appears to be developing in her family, as her elder sister Maria Clara Salgado is also a successful beach volleyball player, as was their mother in past years.
