The Americans set the bar high, played very bravely in attack and service, and the Poles allowed their opponents to suppress them. From the very beginning, the opponents imposed their style, and our players could not respond with more difficult serves. Only at the end of the set did the match end. However, the Americans did not waste their advantage.

The second set saw clear dominance of the Olympic champions who started the set with a 5:0 and 9:4 lead. The Poles had no idea how to break the American wall, they finished only seven balls in attack and added five effective blocks. The rivals won 25:14.

Volleyball: Polish volleyball players return home

About a day after the defeat, some of the volleyball players set off to return home. Natalia Mdrzejczyk, Agnieszka Kornelyuk, Joanna Wosch, Magdalena Stysiak and Malwina Smarczyk boarded a plane that was scheduled to leave Paris for Warsaw at 7:45 p.m.

About 22 competitors landed at Frederic Chopin Airport.

As they gathered their luggage and walked through the terminal, they saw a small group of fans waiting for them to return. There would undoubtedly have been more fans if the players had not made a different choice than originally planned. The passengers on the flight from Paris were supposed to show up in Zone 2, and supporters and journalists were also queuing there. By chance, we learned from other passengers that the actors had gone to Zone 1.

When we got there, it turned out that the volleyball players would not be giving interviews. According to the airport’s media relations officer, the players remained at the airport alone and “were not obligated to talk to journalists.”

The rest of the team and coaching staff are expected to arrive in Warsaw on Thursday around 1pm.
