Russian women’s basketball player ejected after brutal elbow (Video)
By Dan Zinski
It’s probably not a huge surprise that things sometimes get a little physical in Russian basketball games. Even the women’s game in Russia is rough and brutal, as evidenced by this clip of a Russian player delivering a nasty elbow to the chin of her opponent and getting ejected.

Korstin, #10, rams her elbow pretty blatantly into the face of her opponent, #4. Not even a question about that one. But Korstin of course acts like she didn’t do anything because in basketball you always act like you didn’t do anything. It’s a rule of the game.
The officials aren’t fooled and Korstin gets run from the game. I’m going to assume this was a road game for Korstin’s team as she has a hard time finding her way off the floor.
By the filthiness of that particular elbow, I would say Korstin would have been a good fit on the old Pistons. Bill Laimbeer saw this video and tried to get her number. She looks a little bit like the timid female guard from Orange Is the New Black.
Very sexy.
