| | World Grand Prix |
 | | The World Grand Prix was created by FIVB in 1993 as a professional women’s sporting entertainment concept for spectators to watch live and on television. |
 | | The Chinese women, who were bidding to win their first Grand Prix title, put up strong resistance from the start but could barely stop the pressure by Artamonova and the 2.04-meter Ekaterina Gamova, who added 20 kills for Russia. |
 | | The Germans, who host the 2002 World Championship (Aug 30-Sept 15 in six German cities) and who were trounced 3-0 by Russia on Thursday, were understandably very happy with their 25-23, 25-23, 25-23 victory. |
