The gold medalists were invited to a meeting at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister and appeared there on Monday morning.

– If only the Italians won 3-0 in Rome, it would be “mamma mia”, as many people said with surprise. You are the best ambassadors of Polishness and I would like to thank you very much for that. Wherever I go, I see that Polish volleyball is perceived as something absolutely unique. It is not only the best in Europe and the world, but it is also the best because you show the will to fight, determination and cooperation, and I thank you very much for that – said Mateusz Morawiecki

– Thank you for the invitation. We have been frequent guests here in recent years, but this year the opportunity is special. This is a record season for us. We managed to win two gold medals (Nations League and European Championship – editor’s note), our girls took bronze from the Nations League. Thanks for your support. We are all one big sports family, said Kurek.
