Willis ‘career continues in Turkey’ s leading unit “Fenerbahche” in Istanbul The news

Istanbul, November 24, LETA. Kristīne Vītols, the forward striker of the Latvian women’s basketball team, will continue his career in one of the strongest European clubs in the Turkish leader Fenerbahche, Istanbul, on Tuesday on the club’s Twitter page.

The 29-year-old started the season in Hungary, where he scored 13.3 points in seven games in the Miskolc DVTK, won 9.7 rebounds and played 1.9 times on average in the game.

“The women’s basketball team” Fenerbahče “has signed a contract for the 2020/2021 season with the Latvian long player Vītols,” the club reports on the Twitter website.

Vītola last season represented the Spanish club Salamanca “Perfumerias Avenida”.

She scored an average of 8.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in 22 games in the Spanish Championship, while throwing 10.7 points in an average of 10.7 points and 5.3 balls under the baskets in the FIBA ​​Eurocup. Salamanca’s team was the leader at the end of the Spanish championship, but did not expect a quarter-final fight in the Eurocup.

After graduating from the University of Texas in the summer of 2014, Vītola joined the Spanish team Zaragoza’s Mann-Filter, but the following season she represented Perfumerias Avenida, which made its debut in the FIBA ​​Euroleague and triumphed in the Spanish Championship.

She started the next season in the Spanish championship team, but was not satisfied with her playing time, so the contract was terminated at the athlete’s initiative. Already in early October, she joined Istanbul’s “Galatasaray”, which made it to the semifinals of the Turkish Championship and the FIBA ​​Eurocup.

After that, he spent the season in the team of the Polish top league in Gdynia “Basket 90”, but in the 2018/2019 season he played in the team “TTT Rīga”, helping it to reach the quarterfinals of the Euroleague.

Vītola has played in three European Championship finals and the 2018 World Cup. In the Latvian national team, Vītola has gone on the field in 80 games, in which he has scored 6.8 points on average.

This season, the Istanbul club with nine victories in nine games takes the first place in the competition of 14 teams.

“Fenerbachche” has entered the Euroleague final three times, once – the Euroccup final. The team has won the Turkish Championship 17 times, won the Turkish Cup 13 times and the Turkish Super Cup 12 times.

Elīna Babkina, Anete Jēkabsone-Žogota, Ieva Kubliņa and Zane Tamane used to play in the team.
