During the Tokyo Olympics, the articles I wrote about handsome players while the Nations League was being held this year saw a sudden surge in popularity (lol).
So this time, I'd like to introduce my personal top 8 handsome players from among those competing in the Tokyo Olympics!
Arthur Schwartz (Canada)
Jersey number: 20
Date of birth: March 30, 1995 (26 years old)
Height: 209 cm
Highest point reached: 356cm
Position: Middle blocker
Club: Cisterna (Italy)
A handsome player who has been making waves on the internet as "Canada No. 20" since the Japan match was broadcast on TV. He is a Canadian player with Polish roots. His weapons are his quickness and blocking from his tall stature, and his sharp serve. He has been selected for the Canadian national team since 2017, and his powerful serve gave Japan a lot of trouble in this year's Nations League. At the Tokyo Olympics, he is mainly on the reserves and also plays an active role as a relief server. The Canadian national team is currently in a difficult situation to get through the qualifying rounds after the third day, but I hope they will do their best. His club is Cisterna (Latina) of the Italian Serie A, where Japan's Yuki Ishikawa once played. In addition to his main job as a middle player at the club, he is also trying his hand at opposite. Starting next season, Serie A matches will be streamed online on Volleyball TV, so you can easily support them!

By the way, his Instagram is locked, but when I requested to follow him he readily approved (lol).

Aleksander Silivka (Poland)
Jersey number: 14
Date of birth: May 24, 1995 (26 years old)
Height: 196 cm
Highest point reached: 340cm
Position: Outside hitter
Club: Kedzierzyn Kozile (Poland)
A handsome southpaw from Poland. He has been representing Poland since 2015, but was not selected for the Rio Olympics, so he finally made his Olympic debut at the Tokyo Olympics. Poland has a deep player pool, and in recent years the level of outside hitters has been particularly high, so Śliwka's ability to get through them is guaranteed. Although he is not as flashy as fellow Polish players Leon and Kubiak, he is a player with a good balance between offense and defense, with sharp spikes and solid defense. He plays for the prestigious Polish club Zaksa Kedzierzyn Kozile, and although he missed out on the domestic league title last season, he won the European Champions League and was named MVP.
At the Tokyo Olympics, he has already started in two games in place of Kubiak, who is not feeling well.

Luca Bettori (Italy)
Jersey number: 4
Date of birth: April 26, 1991 (30 years old)
Height: 199cm
Highest point reached: 338cm
Position: Opposite
Club: Shanghai (China)
He is a handsome opposite with a handsome face like an Italian sculpture. He was a member of the team that won the silver medal at the last Rio Olympics in 2016, and just like last time, he will be waiting as a backup for the absolute opposite Zaitsev. However, in the first match of the Tokyo Olympics against Canada, he took the court in the middle of the game to replace the unwell Zaitsev, and made a great contribution to Italy's comeback victory. He has been a member of Modena and Trento, two prestigious clubs in the Italian Serie A where Yuki Ishikawa also played, for a long time, but from this year he will play for a club in Shanghai, China. Vettori is also known as an intellectual who loves to read, and fans call him a "philosopher." He posts very little on Instagram (lol).
