Volleyball Nations League bronze medalists Poland have announced the 13 players that will represent the country’s women’s national team in its return to the Olympics for the first time since Beijing 2008 at this month’s Paris 2024 Games.
Italian head coach Stefano Lavarini has made the decision to include two liberos in his initial 12-player squad - Aleksandra Szczygłowska and Maria Stenzel -, listing outside hitter Olivia Różański as the team’s alternate for the Games.
Given the 16-year gap between the last Polish participation and this one, Lavarini’s entire squad will be made of Olympic rookies. With that, Paris 2024 will mark the first appearance in the Games of several international stars from the country, such as setter Joanna Wołosz, opposite Magdalena Stysiak and middle blocker Agnieszka Korneluk.
