Russian volleyball has introduced an exceptional athlete, Valeria Kozlova, who stands at an impressive 2.09 meters tall. At just 19 years old, Kozlova not only boasts a towering height but is also anticipated to be the perfect successor to the legendary hitters of Russian volleyball.
Kozlova: The New Star of Women’s Volleyball
Born in 2005, Kozlova plays as an outside hitter for the Russian women’s volleyball team. She has surpassed Puerto Rico’s Alba Hernandez, previously known as the tallest professional volleyball player in the world at 2.07m. Experts predict that Kozlova will become one of the brightest stars in the world of volleyball in the near future.
Impressive Start at Zarechie Odintsova
Kozlova began her career at the youth training academy of Zarechie Odintsova, one of Russia’s top volleyball training centers. In 2020, she joined Zarechie Odintsova’s youth team, and just one year later, she was promoted to the main team—a remarkable achievement for a young athlete.
Exceptional Growth Potential
With her impressive reach and blocking ability, Kozlova not only benefits from her height but also demonstrates remarkable skill and potential for development. Many volleyball experts believe that, with her talent and determination, she will soon represent more renowned teams and build an impressive career.
Currently, Kozlova is preparing to join the Russian women’s volleyball team for a friendly tournament in Belarus. This will be an opportunity for her to showcase her abilities and affirm her status as one of the tallest female volleyball players in history.
Despite her youth, Kozlova has garnered significant attention and expectations from both professionals and fans. If she continues to develop in the right direction, she has the potential to become a new symbol of women’s volleyball, carrying on the success of previous generations.
