Hello, my name is Iliani and I am a twenty-year-old volleyball player representing the Israeli team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. I was born in Russia but moved to Israel when I was just a child. Growing up, I always had a passion for sports, especially volleyball. As a young girl, I would spend hours upon hours practicing my serves and spikes until they became second nature to me.
As I got older, my love for the sport only grew stronger, and soon enough I found myself playing on national teams and competing in international tournaments. Being able to represent my country on such a grand stage is truly an honor, and I am determined to make Israel proud.
Apart from volleyball, I am also passionate about fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I believe that having a strong body is just as important as having a sharp mind, which is why I spend so much time in the gym and eating clean.
Despite my intense training schedule, I still make sure to have fun and enjoy life to the fullest. Whether it's going out with friends or exploring new cities, I love experiencing all that this world has to offer.
Overall, I am a highly driven individual who refuses to settle for anything less than my best. I hope to inspire others through my athletic abilities and prove that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.
