Among the players in the spotlight at the 2025 Korean Volleyball Federation (KOVO) Women's tryout in Istanbul, Turkiye, is the name of outside heater Victoria Demidova (Russia), who was born in 2005. Only two of the tryout challengers have yet to turn 20, and Demidova is the second youngest player.

Although Demidova is still young, she is an experienced player who played at a professional level from the 2019-2020 season, went through the Turkiye League, and played in Dresden in Germany's first division last season. Demidova drew attention with her compliance with her 1m86 physical condition, athletic ability, and outstanding beauty.

Demidova, who met with reporters after the tryout practice game, said in poor English, "I'm so happy to be given the opportunity to challenge the V-League tryout. It was interesting to see a system called tryout that was not seen in other leagues, and I thought it was a new challenge and experience." Regarding his interest in Korean culture, he smiled, saying, `I enjoy K-pop and read webtoons.'

Anna Lazareva, who played for IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, has recently made a strong impact on the women's V-League. Lazareva is a former Russian national team member who played for France's first division Bolero Le Cane and ranked second in scoring, before being selected by the Industrial Bank of Korea through the foreign player draft in the 2020-2021 season and making his V-League debut. After playing for one season at Industrial Bank of Korea, he moved to Fenerbahce, a prestigious Turkiye club. Demidova, who knows Lazareva played in the V-League, said "I was interested in the Korean V-League, and I thought I would like to try it someday."He explained why he challenged the tryout.

Demidova expressed regret about the first tryout stage, saying, "I'm satisfied with the attack and the reception to some extent, but overall I couldn't show 100%." Then "First of all, as a volleyball player, I'm focusing on human growth. "(The V-League) is an Asian league, so I try to enjoy it every moment rather than make any particular difference." "I'm still young, so I want to experience and challenge myself a lot." Such a tryout will be an opportunity to prove myself with a sense of competition and challenge."
