Origin
and identity

Magaly Carvajal made the net a difficult place for opponents during Cuba's rise to Olympic dominance in the 1990s.

Carvajal helped Cuba win Olympic gold in 1992 and retain it in Atlanta four years later. Her blocking reach and attacking threat formed an essential part of those balanced teams.

She also won the 1994 World Championship and three World Cups with Cuba. Later naturalised in Spain, she represented the Spanish team and won the 2004 European Champions League with Tenerife Marichal.
