Iva Koleva is finding her voice through basketball
There’s a special kind of energy that trails Iva Koleva onto the court, something between quiet certainty and a spark that can turn a game. At 16, the North Macedonian guard/forward (depending on what her team needs that day) is already playing up in two demanding environments: the Under-18 competition and the women’s Second League with ZKK Tim Arena. She carries herself with the ease of someone who’s been told she’s too young and then went out and proved “young” can still mean ready.
