Wilfredo Leon - Polish Monster of the Vertical Jump

Wilfredo Leon has enjoyed an incredible career from an astonishingly young age - but the 26-year-old Cuba-born outside hitter has embarked since last year on a brand new career, after joining the national team of Poland. Leon reappeared in national team competitions following a seven-year hiatus since his last appearance for Cuba but has picked up from where he left off, already adding medals and individual awards to his truly remarkable collection. Born in Santiago de Cuba in 1993, Leon made his first steps in the sport before even reaching his teens and made his debut with the men's national team of Cuba at the age of 14. He had already been named captain of Cuba's national team in 2010, becoming the youngest player, at 17, to hold the distinction. Leon left Cuba in 2013 to pursue abroad and joined Russia's Zenit Kazan, where he remained for four seasons. He gained Polish citizenship in 2015 and was cleared in 2019 to play for Poland's national team. Immediately, he added a bronze medal at the 2019 European Championship and made the Dream Team of the competition as an outside hitter. He topped that up with a silver medal at the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Cup. Enjoy watching his best actions of this tournament!
