Interesting choice, but why would anyone want a 4u Nanospeed, 3u nanospeeds are already light enough. So I cannot see the market for a 4u Nanospeed, especially in International competition. It makes me wonder why Nadiezda, doesn't use the NS6000, or the new NS6600
I agree too, it is a strange choice, but it must work for her, it would defienetly not work for the backcourt player though.
