Polish Sprinting Phenom Ewa Swoboda Feted with Barbie Figure
From Polish sprinter Ewa Swoboda to American tennis player Venus Williams, international stars are being honored by Barbie. These impressive athletes, including Italian swimmer Federica Pellegrini and Ewa Swoboda, are part of a special lineup of nine celebrated sports figures.
According to Barbie representative Krista Berger, the initiative aims to emphasize the empowering impact of sports. By shining a spotlight on these inspiring athletes and their stories, Barbie aims to encourage future generations to chase their dreams and seize opportunities.
Swoboda gushes over the honor, expressing her excitement on Instagram. "I can hardly believe it! Barbie recognized my story and chose me among eight other remarkable athletes from around the globe as a Barbie Role Model," she enthused.
