I hope a young opposite will be given chances next year.
It’s disappointing that the level of the whole team (except Korneluk) dropped so much suddenly at such an important tournament.
Polish NT 2024

I hope a young opposite will be given chances next year.
Who is that young opposite? There's literally nobody who could challenge the spot of Stysiak/Smarzek/Gałkowska
There are Podlaska and Hewelt but they both are 18 y.o with no experience in pro league
-
Yeah, the only one that I would consider to be better than Gałkowska is Szczurowska but she won’t challenge Stysiak at any point (who still is young and will play in our NT for probably at least 2 Olympic cycles)
-
Szczurowska is too much error prone. She can score 20 points, but she will make 10 errors. She's never been part of NT (even when Nawrocki was coaching)
Looking on the opposite position in top pol teams:
Developres - 2 Brazilian players
BKS - Estonian player
Budowlani - Italian player
ŁKS - Brazilian player
Radomka - Gałkowska and Serbian player
Opole - Zaroślińska who's 37 yo
-
It's also worth to mantion that many of our young girls go to NCAA and disappear
-
They don't disappear, but not always make good choices. For example libero Krześlak went to a team with 6 liberos lol
Some NCAA players like Orzoł, Kowalczyk, Rola, Partyka should be available in December.

Stysiak is still young, Smarzek and Gałkowska are enough for next 4 years, but for sure we can follow Zofia Pinderska and Martyna Podlaska. Only if those 2 players manage their careers in a good way, they can be future.

I read somewhere that it might be last Olympics of korneluk. Is it true? She is still kinda young, she will be 34 in LA which is not an old age for middles (gattaz, eda, ravva, Daniele Scott etc)

I think that if she is healthy she will stay for LA.

There was not any official info that she plans to retire.
Sometime ago she gave an interview that she dreams about having a child and it sounded somehow that should would like to have a break for pregnancy's but no clear plans.
-
There was some interview with her and she said that this is her first and last OG so we can assume that she won't be arround until LA28. Probably she will play 2 more years and then try to have a baby.

This is kinda disappointing to hear but if that's what she wants then best wishes to her on starting her own family
-
if there is any player worth the title of an icon among the currently active Polish players, it's Agnieszka for sure! The standing blocks, the "I don't care enough to jump" float serve, the spikes, even her defense is pretty good for a player that tall. THE Icon of this era to me
-
and it will be very hard to replace her with the current players...from a high towers (Korneluk and Efimienko) to the shorter ones I think the block will be weaker
-
Yes, I've heard it before. She wants to give a birth and she dreams about family.

I guess that most users already know, but MB Kamila Witkowska has been suspended for 8 months (doping case)
There are some speculations that it could have been a reason she was cut from NT before Olympcis

She already published statement about that.
She has some illness and has to take this medicine. She got a permission to take this medicine but after it was discovered in her body. At the beginning she was punished with reprimand but FIVB wanted more strict punishment and it took over a year to change the punishment. All sides confirmed that she needs this medicine for her illness and as I understand she needs to use it until today.
-
I want to clarify that it was not a medicine that was found but a metabolite of this drug. Furthermore, neither drug or the substance found in her organism was helping in better performance but it is a substance that can mask usage of other substances.
