Anouk Vergé-Dépré (born February 11, 1992 in Bern ) is a Swiss beach volleyball and former volleyball player . In 2017 she founded the International Beach Volleyball Players Association (IBVPA) with the Dutch woman Madelein Meppelink .
Personal
Vergé-Dépré grew up in Bern with her sister, Zoé Vergé-Dépré, who was six years her junior, and is of Swiss and French nationality . Her father comes from Guadeloupe and her mother from the Bernese Oberland . Anouk Vergé-Dépré has been studying communication science , media research and business administration at the University of Friborg since graduating from the Kirchenfeld high school .
Athletic career
Vergé-Dépré started playing volleyball at the age of ten . She was animated and encouraged by her father Jean-Charles Vergé-Dépré and her mother Sandra Bratschi, who both played in the highest Swiss league. Vergé-Dépré spent the indoor volleyball junior time at the school sport in Köniz and later at VBC Köniz. Among other things, they were shaped in the early days by the trainer Bernhard Steiner and the Russian trainer Olga Shkurnova . She also developed in the indoor junior national team under the direction of Florian Steingruber.
With Volley Köniz , for whom her father also worked as a trainer, she made it to the top division in 2010. The outside attacker then moved to National League A club Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen . She was awarded the Swiss Volley Award as Youngster of the Year 2011 .
At the same time, she won the Swiss U15 and U18 championships three times as a beach volleyball player with Kim Spring and Joana Heidrich. In 2009 she reached fifth place with Joana Winter at the U19 World Cup in Alanya . In 2010 she became Swiss champion in the U21 category. Vergé-Dépré stood in for the injured Sarah Schmocker at the elite Swiss championship when she was 18 and already won her first medal at elite level (bronze) with Isabelle Forrer .
From 2011, Vergé-Dépré formed a beach volleyball duo with Isabelle Forrer and finally switched from indoor volleyball to the sand. The newly formed duo made their first international experiences and from 2012 played regularly in the qualification on the FIVB World Tour . In 2012 they won the Masters tournament in Baden. At the European Championships in Scheveningen they came third in the group in the knockout phase and had to admit defeat to the Czechs Háječková / Klapalová in the round of 16 , which they finished the tournament in ninth place. They also finished ninth in the Grand Slams in Berlin and Klagenfurt and in the Masters in Varna .
With Nina Betschart , Vergé-Depré became U21 world champion in Halifax in 2012 . In Bern she prevailed with Forrer in the final of the Swiss championship against Heidrich / Kayser and won the title for the first time. Forrer / Vergé-Dépré started the international season 2013 with a ninth place at the satellite tournament in Antalya . At the World Championships in Stare Jabłonki they came third in the main round and lost their first game there against the fourth-placed Ross / Pavlik from the USA. Then they played the EM in Klagenfurt , where they went into the knockout phase as third in the group. There they achieved two more victories before losing to the later finalists Liliana / Baquerizo in the quarterfinals and finishing the tournament fifth.
In 2013 Vergé-Dépré was U22 European champion in Varna with Betschart. In October she finished fifth with Forrer at the Grand Slam in São Paulo . Forrer / Vergé-Dépré took second place in the Swiss championship.
In 2014 they won their group at the European Championships in Quartu Sant'Elena , but lost the round of 16 against the German Bieneck / Großner and finished ninth. At the CEV Masters in Biel / Bienne they made it to the finals. A few days later they reached the final of the Swiss championship, which they lost against Heidrich / Zumkehr. The Swiss female runners-up took part in the final at the satellite tournament in Stuttgart .
In 2015, the duo Forrer / Vergé-Dépré had a poor start to the season before finishing fifth in the Grand Slam in Saint Petersburg . In the preliminary round of the World Cup in the Netherlands , they won against Heidrich / Zumkehr and prevailed as second in the group ahead of their national competitors. In the first main round they were eliminated against the Australians Bawden / Clancy . They were more successful at the European Championships in Klagenfurt . There they came second to the second round against the new European champions Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst . A week after the European Championship, Forrer / Vergé-Dépré reached the final of the Masters tournament in Biel / Bienne for the second time in a row. There were also two ninth places at the Grand Slams in Long Beach and Olsztyn . In Bern they won their second joint title at the Swiss championship with a win against Goricanec / Hüberli. The duo won their first international medal on the World Tour at the Sochi Open with silver. This was followed by the bronze medal at the FIVB Open in Sochi.
At the beginning of the 2016 season , Forrer / Vergé-Dépré played three tournaments in Brazil and came fourth in the Grand Slam in Rio and ninth in the Maceió and Vitória Open. Then they won the final of the Xiamen Open against the Austrians Stefanie Schwaiger and Barbara Hansel and thus celebrated their first tournament victory on the World Tour. In Biel / Bienne they reached the first knockout round at the European Championships as group runner-up, which they won against Eiholzer / Gerson. In the last sixteen they were defeated by the German duo Borger / Büthe in the tie- break.
As the best Swiss team in the Olympic rankings, they qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . There they were defeated in the preliminary round by the US duo Walsh / Ross only in the tie-break and came third in the group of sixteen, in which they had to admit defeat to the later Olympic champions Ludwig / Walkenhorst. At the FIVB season finale in Toronto Forrer / Vergé-Dépré won the game for third place against the Brazilian duo Larissa / Talita with 2-0.
Vergé-Dépré has been playing with Joana Heidrich since 2017 , whose former partner Nadine Zumkehr and Isabelle Forrer resigned at the end of 2016. This new constellation required Vergé-Dépré to switch from block to defense. Since the two players had played on the right in the past, Vergé-Dépré moved to the left. Automatisms had to be relearned. Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré had a successful first season, won silver at the FIVB 4-star tournament in Holland and reached the quarter-finals at the 5-star tournaments of the Beach Major Series several times in a row. Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré played their way into the round of 16 at the World Cup in Vienna , where they lost out against the Brazilian tandem Larissa / Talita. At the end of the season, Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré achieved fifth place in the World Tour Final and won the Swiss championship against Betschart / Hüberli . Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré achieved the best Swiss placement on the world rankings with # 7.
In 2018 Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré won silver at the 4-star tournament in Itapema. However, the team had to end the season after the first half because of a herniated disc from Joana Heidrich . After the tournament in Gstaad, Joana Heidrich underwent an operational procedure. Vergé-Dépré joined forces at short notice for the upcoming European Championship with her younger sister Zoé Vergé-Dépré, where they reached the round of 16 and were eliminated from the later European champions Meppelink / Keizer. In order not to lose any FIVB Entry points, Vergé-Dépré also ended her season on the World Tour. A little later she traveled to America to train as an interim partner with the triple Olympic champion Kerri Walsh Jennings and to compete in a P1440 series.
Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré started the 2019 season with a top 10 result, but they didn't find the rhythm for a long time. Only shortly before the World Cup in Hamburg did the duo find their way back to regular round of 16 results. In Hamburg, Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré won the group and advanced to the second round. But there the Australian duo Clancy / Artacho del Solar got the upper hand in the third set. At the European Championships in Moscow, Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré advanced to the semi-finals and finished the tournament in 4th place. The week after the duo achieved the big coup, they won the 4-star tournament against the Brazilian duo Talita / Lima and thus celebrated their first World Tour victory in the new constellation. At the Swiss Championships in Bern, Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré lost out in the final against Betschart / Hüberli in the third set. At the Rome Beach Finals, the tandem finished the season in 4th place after an exciting game against Ana Patricia / Rebecca from Brazil. After the 2019 season, Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré is ranked 12th in the Olympics and 11th in the World Rankings.
In July 2020 Heidrich / Vergé-Dépré won the first tournament of the German Comdirect Beach Tour 2020 in Düsseldorf .
International Beach Volleyball Players Association
Because the prize money fell and the World Tour structure was changed by the international association ( FIVB ) after the 2016 Olympic Games , Vergé-Dépré founded the International Beach Volleyball Players Association (IBVPA) together with the Dutch national player Madelein Meppelink in 2017 . This advocates the rights of the players and also ensures that beach volleyball professionals can make a better living from sport.
