After Staging Junior Championships, Myslowice Hosts
SWATCH-FIVB World Tour Women's "Open" |
|
After hosting U-21 SWATCH-FIVB World Championships
in 2006 and the U-19 world finals in 2007, Myslowice entertains the top women’s
Beach Volleyball players in the world. Poland joins China, France and Norway in
hosting two SWATCH-FIVB World Tour events in 2007. Myslowice is one of nine new
sites in 2008 on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour calendar along with Adelaide
(Australia), Guaruja (Brazil), Sanya (China), Prague (Czech Republic), Osaka
(Japan), Moscow (Russia), Barcelona (Spain) and Dubai (United Arab Emirates).
Polish junior world champions Katarzyna Urban and Joanna Wiatr posted their
country’s best SWATCH finishes with 17ths in 2006 and 200. Urban and Wiatr
captured the gold medal at the 2004 U-18 SWATCH-FIVB World Championships in
Termoli, Italy. Pictured below (left to right) are Juliana Felisberta
Silva and Larissa Franca of Brazil, and Urban and Wiatr of Poland.
Located in the Upper Silesia
region of Poland, Myslowice was a crossroads in the era of the German,
Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires. Myslowice has a population of around
75,000, is home to various international companies and has excellent
international transport connections by road, rail and air.
