The shotstopper, arguably the most consistent in the world over the last years, is nominated for the second consecutive year, after impressing yet again for Germany in 2024. Now 34, Wolff is still providing some excellent performances, both for club – he returned to THW Kiel last summer – and country.

At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Wolff made 66 saves, for a 31% saving efficiency, lifting Germany in crucial times to eventually secure a silver medal. At the EHF EURO 2024, Wolff was also excellent, making the All-Star team and saving 92 shots – the largest number in the competition – for a 34% saving efficiency.
