As best as I can tell from her Instagram she is a regular on the FIVB beach tour and was in the qualification rounds for the Tokyo Olympics.Note that the FIVB site does not have her actual birth date. (If she was born 01/01/0001, she would be 2,021 year old next year.)

She will be 21 years old when she enters Stanford as a freshman.
But the BVB Database does: http://www.bvbinfo.com/player.asp?ID=4889
July 15, 2004, so she will be 18.
Interesting to see that one of her partners has been Erika Nystrom, who apparently has dual Finnish/Cypriot citizenship. I saw Erika play with her twin sister Emilia back in 2007.
In fact, Gusarova & Nystrom are currently playing in Brazil, the last FIVB event of the year:

They won their qualifier match and are in Pool E in the main draw.
I just wonder if she is really coming to Stanford...?
