Italian women’s volleyball team celebrate title win by posing naked with trophy
A WOMEN’S volleyball team celebrated winning the title yesterday by posing naked with the trophy.
Italian side Imoco Volley Conegliano stripped down after securing their third Serie A triumph in four years with a victory over Igor Novara.
Imoco didn’t give Novara a chance, winning all three games of the final Serie A1 play-off round.
However, their last match was a dramatic encounter – lasting five sets with the champs claiming a narrow, two-point victory in a tiebreaker.
And Imoco players found a creative way of celebrating their hard-fought title – leaving little to the imagination.
They stripped down and posed for a group picture behind the trophy while also biting the commemorative medals they received.
A few of them, Joanna Wolosz and Marta Bechis, then opted for solo snaps, using the the mammoth cup as a fig leaf.
Wolosz shared it on Instagram, captioning it with words that read: “It could not be any different!”

And Bechis followed suit, writing: “Scudetto, you say?.”
Imoco have won their third league title in four years, having dominated Serie A1 in the regular season – finishing nine points clear ahead of Novara.
The club has quickly risen to the top after it was founded in 2012 following the bankruptcy of Spesa Volley.
