Ran Takahashi DOMINATES in Poland !!! TAURON Liga 2026/27. Ran Takahashi has arrived in Poland, and BOGDANKA LUK Lublin’s No. 12 is already making noise in the 2026/27 TAURON Liga! The Japanese outside hitter racked up 59 points across his first five league appearances, putting away 53 of 102 attacks for a 52% kill rate and adding three aces and three blocks.

His biggest performance came on November 9 against Energa Indykpol AZS Olsztyn. Takahashi scored 18 points, stood out in serve reception, and earned match MVP as Lublin won 3–1 on the road. When Olsztyn fought back to take the third set, Lublin shut the door in the fourth to move to the top of the league table.

Takahashi broke into Japan’s national team at 19 and made his Olympic debut in Tokyo. He went on to play for Padova and Vero Volley Monza in Italy’s SuperLega, represented Japan again at Paris 2024, and played for Suntory Sunbirds before taking on a new challenge in Poland.

Szymanowski, he gives that one everything. Being an easy ball, it's a put down. Takahashi run. We're having to do a huge result of the challenge, though. Kuyo will be the server. Great overload play, Komenda. Can pick his poison. It's Groszdanov. Nice. A couple of points on attack. Aggressive toss to get that ball into the court there. We'll see about one of his first actions. Watch it. Sarsak well dug down the line by Kojka. And Nasevich can only offer up the free ball. Rahn, very close to the three-meter line on that pipe attack on the second contact. Still, another change to go. This time it's Takahashi Rahn on the pipe. Brilliant control on a 119-kilometer-hour serve from Nasevich. Ogawa showing their ability to stay in this game. Emenda hits that one to Nasevich somehow. Boyka gave Gurjot an opportunity to swing. Let's the ball drop low and the triple block of Lublin has its effect. The end of set number one. Goes a bit stronger this time. Chance for Lublin in transition. Takahashi Ran, second time of asking, comes up with the right solution. Whatever happened, get themselves back up to speed. Navarez for the float serve this time. Takahashi Ran starting to feel some rhythm in the game. Even after that, Fredo Leon stays at the service line. Throws the overpass from Popivchak. Takahashi Rahn wraps that one up in short order. Leon again. Another massive serve. 128 kilometres an hour this time. And again, Fournale has to work hard on the high ball swing. Rahn does the job. Vignette goes again. Strong again. Let's go. Rahn knowing that it's not just power. Beautiful off-speed. Rolling the ball past the block. Swell, he's the best at. And at last, Rand gets a block and gets the better of Superlak. It's the first time he's been shut down by him this entire match. And the visitors, third place in the league. Sprabo Hatov, shirts with the yellow sleeves. It's defended by Ogawa. Chance to score, run out of the back line. Gets a piece of the block, or at least he thinks he did. Definitely in the set. Kimar messes up the ball toss, but gets the ball in. And they defend it. It's coming back. It's coming back with power. Brilliant effort. Free ball. Good chase round, form, Grojdenov, Malinovsky can't put it away. Well, marching commander's gone across to the referee to complain about something mid-rally. Looked Lublin have the point, but he's absolutely unloaded there on the ref. Chinart is getting ready. Oh, it's a struggle. This is going to be free ball. Three front row attackers for Lublin, plus the pipe with Leon. And Rand gets a first go, and it's an excellent go. Showed the cross-court angle and took it very quickly. Leon not having his best match. He's doing well on serving, but it's attacking. He's been blocked twice. Well played Tagashi Ran. Not the tallest of players, but he's fast, he's quick, he's technically taking all the sting out of that. That is wonderful play. Ran with the pass and then ghosting in on that pipe attack. Look at the speed of it. Made that look so easy. He was going quite quick, almost had to check it. Lovely speed. As soon as the Passer hitters not having to pass the ball for Lublin. They like to go quick out wide with maximum pressure. Look at where they're going point for point. But they have allowed Lublin to get that break point. So they're not going in front now. There's advantage with Lublin. They're the team who are siding out to go in front. Oh lovely ace serve from Rand. It's so difficult to defend against when you can run the pipe. All right. Take on the front court swing. Oh, good touch from Karlochek. Can he finish? Gonna have to come back to him again. Good up from Ran. Oh, that's excellent. Karlochek goes after Ran. Ran digs him. Ran goes after Karlochek. Karlochek can't dig it. Nice response from Ran. But this is where it really has to happen. They have to do something from serving. Nothing. Either directly or... That's a lovely touch in the block. Slowing it down, allowing the transition play. Oh, Ran, just too good. So quick to get from being a blocker to out being an attacker. Look where he is! Yes, pancake made. McGower makes a super dig and this time Rand gets the point. Free ball, this is looking really ominous now for Olsztyn. Really ominous, trying to make the dig, keep it in play, well done. Karliczek, oh no! Everyone in the three-meter line and then Chouinard is coming back onto Corbin. Couldn't get to the ball, with yet another block. Won't you? Free swing, dug your best. Good save by Tsunade. Perfect pass, and it's finished off in style by Takahashi Ran. 25-20, Lublin take the set. And they have beaten Holstead by three sets to one.
