Veronica Adhiambo Oluoch (born June 5, 1999) is a Kenyan volleyball player who plays on the Kenyan team including at the 2024 Olympics.
Life
Oluoch was born in 1999.
She attended Kamrembo Siwandhe Primary School in Siaya County where she discovered her talent for sport and it is where she decided to specialise in volleyball.
She joined the Directorate of Criminal Investigation team and she was offered a job as a police officer but she preferred to play volleyball. The COVID-19 pandemic created a pause in her career but she kept herself fit. She only played one match in 2020, but she was spotted there.
In 2022 she was at the Kenya Women's World Championship 2022. In October of that year she was signed up by the Turkish team Tarsus Belediyesi. She had a challenge on the team as not many of the team spoke English. She managed by using her phone to translate phrases in to Turkish or by using the services of the one player who could speak both Turkish and English. She had to use these methods to talk to the team's coach. She found out that in Turkey the teams always played indoors where as in Kenya they would practice outside because of financial constraints.
She was chosen to be be on Kenya's volleyball team for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The Makia Strikers played a number of games and lost each one with a 3-0 score.
