Katharina Schützenhöfer and Lena Plesiutschnig announced their retirement from professional beach volleyball on Tuesday after twelve years.

The ÖVV duo were Austria's number one team for many years, last year the Styrians made their joint comeback after Plesiutschnig recovered from an Achilles tendon tear. "It was a long and beautiful journey that is now coming to an end," said Schützenhöfer.

Schützenhöfer/Plesiutschnig: Future in Volleyball?

Plesiutschnig spoke of an "incredibly cool time, but also one full of challenges that have shaped me." Highlights were the round of 16 at the Vienna Major 2019 and second place at the Challenge Tournament in the Maldives 2022. The decision to retire feels right at this very moment. "I am looking forward to new tasks and challenges that lie ahead of me," emphasized the Styrian. She, like her close compatriot, has completed a master's degree. Both do not rule out staying involved in volleyball in one form or another.
