VBTV Originals: Closer to Paris

Life is a journey that is filled with hopes and dreams, as well as challenges and setbacks.

For top-tier volleyball athletes who have always faced difficulties on the court, they know that they have to endure and make the best of it no matter what.

Fighting and winning may not always thread the same road, but there are certainly a lot of paths to travel to complete their journey. There are many challenges they endure, and there are many inspirations that keep them going.

To put it simply, this is the art and the science of achieving success.

With the conclusion of the 2023 Volleyball Nations League, the world’s best teams now look ahead to competing at the Paris Qualifiers in September.

VBTV Originals presents CLOSER TO PARIS, a slate of exclusive features of the world’s best stars, opening up about their dreams and challenges on their journey to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Watch CLOSER TO PARIS only on VBTV starting this August.
