Ana Carolina da Silva, often known simply as Carol, is a Brazilian middle blocker whose career is built on elite blocking technique and sustained success at both national-team and club level. Although shorter than many international middles, her timing, reading and lateral speed have made her one of the most effective blockers of her generation. She has represented Brazil through multiple major championship cycles.
Carol won Olympic silver at Tokyo 2020 and bronze at Paris 2024, along with World Championship and Volleyball Nations League medals. She joined LOVB Nebraska and remained on the club’s 2026–27 roster after an extensive professional career in Brazil, Türkiye and Italy. Her résumé also includes multiple domestic, continental and individual blocking awards.
