The 2024 Volleyball Nations League, the international summer event reserved for national teams won by France, has been archived. The block-devils won two medals on Polish soil, a silver medal and the award for best spiker of the competition for Yuki Ishikawa who, with his Japan, after defeating Canada in the quarterfinals and Slovenia in the semifinals, surrendered in the final to the transalpine team. The Japanese scored 26 points in the quarterfinals, 21 in the semifinals and 17 in the final, fully deserving the individual recognition. Bronze instead for Kamil Semeniuk’s Poland. The home team, after defeating Brazil in the quarterfinals, narrowly missed out on accessing the final, losing the semifinal to France in the tie-break, only to redeem themselves in the final against Slovenia. The black and white hammer was rarely used, but was ready when called upon. Stop at the quarterfinals instead for the middle blocker Agustin Loser who with his Argentina stopped immediately after five sets of great battle with Slovenia, 9 points scored by the South American player new purchase of the Umbrians. Stop at the quarterfinals also for Italy who showed up at the epilogue of the Vnl with a very young roster and leaving at home to work in view of Paris some of the senators who won the Olympic pass including also the black and whites Simone Giannelli and Roberto Russo.
