Regla Maritza Bell MacKenzie (Havana, 1970) is one of the great legends of Cuban and world volleyball. A left-handed attacker[1] of tremendous power and charisma, she was a key figure in the Cuban national team known as "Las Espectaculares Morenas del Caribe" ("The Spectacular Caribbean Girls"), the squad that dominated women’s world volleyball in the 1990s and early 2000s.

With Cuba, she won three Olympic gold medals (Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000), two World Championship titles (1994 and 1998)[2] [3] and four World Cups (1989, 1991, 1995 and 1999). Unlike Lilia Izquierdo, with whom she shares the achievement of being the only players worldwide to have achieved these nine major titles, Bell played as a starter in every game and was never substituted. She was captain of the national team at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

After shining with the national team, she played in professional leagues in Italy, Brazil and Spain. She is currently dedicated to training and developing young volleyball players.

Her induction into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame [4] confirmed the impact and legacy of a champion "left-hander".
