Rio 2016 Olympic silver medallist and world champion Agatha Bednarczuk has been inspiring a new generation to play volleyball.
The 33-year-old recently finished third at the fourth stage on the Brazilian Tour in her hometown Curitiba, where she played in front of her family and friends as she and her partner Carol Solberg claimed bronze.
The world champion also took some time off after the event in Curitiba to spend with her family and give her niece Antonella a few lessons in the basic skills of volleyball.
The Olympic silver medallist also reconnected with the ‘Agatha Project’, which provides beach volleyball classes and other sports activities to children from Paranagua and nearby municipalities, and brought smiles to the kids’ faces as she signed autographs and posed for photographs.
