Making her 235th appearance for the Russian national team, Ekaterina Gamova was the queen of the court — make that Earls Court — on Friday.

The 202-cm Gamova recorded a match-best 29 points to lead Russia to a four-set, 1-hour, 45-minute match against Japan in their Pool A match in the women's volleyball competition.

Russia improved to 4-0 in the 12-nation tournament.
