Luxembourg, August 16, 2020. Finland's most successful volleyball player Riikka Lehtonen is one of the very few who can boast a career of over three decades and still going strong. She started with indoor volleyball were she managed to win back to back CEV Champions League Volley titles and then making the move to beach volleyball where she now partners with Niina Ahtiainen. She is our guest on this week's episode of the Unscripted series, hosted by CEV Commentator Dave Rogers.

Riikka Lehtonen has played in several strong leagues around the world, but there is one title she had won that would elude the thoughts of even some of volleyball's biggest fans: "I went to the Maldives two days before the season started and had two practice sessions, one outdoors and one indoors. There were five teams in the league, out of which two or three did not block at all. So I won the Championship in the Maldives then I stayed for a nice two week holiday."
