Volleyball to Remember: United States (1984-1988)

The US men's volleyball national team in the middle of the 80s won the Olympic gold medal in 1984 and 1988 and the World Championship in 1986! Lead by players like Karch Kiraly and Steve Timmons they were just amazing!

Fun fact #1: the 1984 team radically changed volleyball by having dedicated serve receivers. Head coach Doug Beal came up with this idea in 1983 and during the Olympics Karch Kiraly and Aldis Berzins received all the serves.
Fun fact #2: at the 1988 Olympics Karch Kiraly and Bob Ctvrtlik were the dedicated passers. Bob Ctvrtlik won the award for best passer at the games--Karch didn't win because he didn't get enough attempts to qualify. In other words, the other teams were so scared of Karch that they would rather serve at the "best" passer than at Karch.

Yep, I've read that they were the first team to receive with only two players. That was at the time a huge advantage since strong jump serve was practically missing.

This is the Olympic volleyball drama.

O Karch Kyraly jogava demais, não é a toa que ele foi considerado o melhor jogador de volei do século XX. Esse time de volei dos EUA era composto por universitários, e era forte, inaginem se fossem jogadores profissionais.

Nos anos 80 esse time de volei dos EUA era muito melhor que o brasileiro, e eles eliminaram duas vezes o Brasil em semifinais, no mundial de 86 e nas Olimpiadas de 1988.
