The Olympics Often they are an opportunity for athletes, beyond competing, to experience other sports disciplines and unite in a family atmosphere with their different compatriots. Proof of this was given in the last few hours by the world number 1 and individual bronze medalist in tennis at Paris 2024 Iga Swiatek.
After his participation in a first Olympic medal for Polish tennis, the world number 1 stayed in Paris to celebrate with his teammates. Among them, members of a men’s volleyball team played this Monday to enter the match for medals.
Poland beat Slovenia 3-1 in the quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals forty-four years later and they did it to an extraordinary fan from the stands. Swiatek suffered, supported his team and did not hesitate to celebrate with them in a big way the passage to the semi-finals. Iga’s is one of five medals the Polish team already has (one silver, three bronze and another medal in boxing to be sure) and the volleyball boys can expand the account.
