About Olympics Volleyball
Volleyball has been part of the Summer Olympics program for both men and women consistently since 1964.
Brazil, United States, and the former Soviet Union, are the only teams to win multiple gold medals at the men's tournament since its introduction. The remaining five editions of the Men's Olympic Volleyball Tournament were won each by a different country including Japan, Poland, Netherlands, Russia and the defunct Yugoslavia.
Gold medals are less evenly distributed in women's volleyball than in men's; the fourteen editions of the Women's Olympic Volleyball Tournament were won by only five countries: Brazil, Cuba, China, Japan and the former Soviet Union.
