Four players will be making their third Olympic appearance, with Kim Hill and Kellie Robinson each making two. They won bronze medals in Beijing and Rio in 2016, and they will look to improve on those performances in Tokyo.

The FIVB has announced that the fine will partake as a donation to a good cause and fund educational programs for disadvantaged youth. They also apologized to the Japanese team, the people of Thailand, and all of those impacted by the joyclub incident. However, a simple misunderstanding is enough to cancel the match.

German volleyball has won five World Championship medals on the beach.

Germany has won the most World Championship beach volleyball medals. The men’s and women’s teams have captured the public’s imagination.

In addition, the German men’s team reached the semifinals in Rio. The German women have won five World Championship medals, trailing only Brazil and the U.S. in the overall count.

Traditions of volleyball in the 1980s and 1990s

The U.S. military played a pivotal role in volleyball development in the late twentieth century. It helped to create uniform rules and implement numerous improvements to the game. It also hosted the national championships every year and worked with member organizations to promote the sport internationally. As a result, the U.S. was one of the original fourteen charter members of the FIVB, which governs the sport worldwide. Today, there are more than two hundred member National Youporn Federations.

The sport was born in the United States and ranked behind soccer as the most popular sport globally. It was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men’s Christian Association in Holyoke, Mass., after combining tennis, basketball, and handball. Morgan called his game “mintonette.”

The U.S. military began playing volleyball abroad in the mid-1950s. The military ranked second to softball in popularity among U.S. service personnel. The U.S. Army and Air Force had volleyball teams in the Armed Forces Games by 1960. Lt. Col. DeGroot coached the U.S. Armed Forces All-Star team, which won the AAU title in 1959. The military’s volleyball program was so successful that it quickly spread to other continents.

While American women had not previously qualified for the Olympics, they could make history by qualifying for the Olympics in the 1980s. As a result, the sport received a boost, and the U.S. won the 1980 Olympic Gold Medal. The American women’s volleyball program continued to grow and become increasingly competitive in the 1980s. They also contributed to the development of the sport as an amateur sport.

All aboard

China, which dominates the medal standings, will feature 845 athletes in table tennis, women’s volleyball and basketball. A place on the 64-month rankings will bolster China’s table tennis squad. The 20-year-old, who topped Korea’s points to table at the Asian table tennis championships in Hong Kong last year, is one of Asia’s most promising young players and a potential gold medalist at the Olympics.

The Indian men’s volleyball team, led by veteran Gurudev Singh, won bronze at the Asian Men’s Volleyball Championships in Hong Kong last year. It is the first time it has been played in this edition. It is India’s first appearance at a major international event since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The men’s and women’s beach volleyball teams took bronze. Indian volleyball teams eventually defeated powerhouse Japan, aided by Jimmy George’s tremendous momentum. Still, they were brought back to earth by the home side from the south, who later recorded a victory. Despite finishing second in the Asian men’s volleyball championships in Hong Kong last year, Japan had to settle for silver because of its unbeaten run. Despite qualifying for the 2010 Asian Games, the women have not made much difference, failing to have a medal chance in every edition they have played since.

Indian volleyball teams have started the Asian Games. This time they began with three straight sets, all of which were straight-sets wins. All these factors have worked well together, and they have beaten Hong Kong, and the Philippines in three consecutive sets.

Asia’s participation

India’s volleyball team has enjoyed a revival in recent years. Having finished seventh in 1978 and missed out on a medal and ended up fourth place. The following years had several ups and downs, as they came forth and fifth in the 1970 edition. They did not reach, but reached seventh place in 1978. In the 1990s, they dominated the South Asian Games, winning three medals and sparking a revival. After a below-par performance at the 2002 and 2006 Asian Games. The men’s indoor teams took silver. The two beach volleyball teams won bronze, the Philippines struggled for medals with four.

The number of nations participating in volleyball tournaments is steadily increasing. The game still has a considerable deficit compared to other sports such as basketball, baseball, football, and even tennis. Although ranking does not allow them to compete in World Cups, not many have played the sport, contributing to their being out of international tournaments in the early years. Indian volleyball players are expected to travel and play in other leagues, which has affected the quality of their education. A factor that coach GE Sridharan sees is the team’s poor performances at the South Asian Games in recent years and its subpar performances in international competitions.

At the time of writing, the World Volleyball Championships are being held in Italy and Bulgaria. Still, there is no live coverage of these events in much of Asia. In East Asia, especially China and Japan, volleyball events cannot match the popularity of the NBA in generating interest compared to other sports such as basketball, baseball, football, and even tennis.

Volleyball history

Like all the anal, the exact origins of sport are identified in the period in which they are best documented, however it is known that our most archaic ancestors also practiced similar exercises.

In this way different hypotheses are considered in relation to which century was the first in which volleyball was practiced. It is believed that in about 200 BC in Rome a sport with characteristics similar to those of today’s volleyball was practiced.

Also the so-called German Faustball, played in the Middle Ages, is similar to the current volleyball.

Contrasting origins

However, it was an American, William G. Morgan, who was awarded the creation of volleyball. Morgan worked at the YMCA (Association of Catholic Youth) located in Holihoke, Massachusetts, as director of Physical Education. The New Yorker held his position with great success from the beginning.

At a certain moment, seeing the influx of students who appreciated his classes, he thought it appropriate to practice a different game than basketball or hard sports aimed at people with greater resistance. In this way, he fixed on several existing sports to create, in 1895 what he called “Mintonetti”. He made a ball lighter than basketball, although based on this.

Inspired by tennis, specifically in the network used, to create the 1.92 meter high net that characterizes the sport. He also commissioned the design of the first rules and structure of the sport.

Evolution and development

The name of the sport invented by Morgan was changed to “Volleyball”, probably more appropriate, thanks to the idea of ​​also Professor Alfred T. Halstead, who was accepted by its original creator.

At that time the regulation did not specify a number of specific players, but it was unlimited. During the following years to its definitive creation, including regulation and structure, the sport was promoted especially by the different YMCA. The objective would be achieved with greater success than anticipated at the beginning of the 20th century.

The game of volleyball became a fashion game in the United States. But the game passed borders and even seas to be practiced in Canada, Japan, the Philippines, India, China and Burma at the beginning of the last century.

Obviously, the game was also quickly established in a large number of Spanish-speaking countries such as Mexico and Cuba in 1906, Puerto Rico in 1909 or Uruguay in 1912. In many cases it was the military who made public the practice of sport in the different countries they visited.

Professionalization

However, he needed to go one step further. The celebration of official competitions that gave a boost to the sport, but also the creation of a federation or body that controlled it and was in charge of directing its correct evolution. In 1922 took place the first American national championship, held in Brooklyn and saw the participation of 27 teams of the YMCA from 11 different states.

Already in 1928 the first championship that admitted to any team was organized, it was the US Open.

And it was in the 40s when the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) was founded. This happened concretely in April of 1947, when fourteen Federations of different countries were united in a congress in Paris, official seat since then, to agree a definitive union under the name of FIVB.

From then on, the evolution of volleyball or volleyball was meteoric. They were organized both a European Championship, created in 1948, and a World Volleyball Championship, created in 1949.

The regulation improved considerably in the first fifty years of the sport’s existence, and the regulation agreed by the FIVB was accepted by all countries in order to use it as a basis for the dispute of the volleyball matches in its territory.

During these first fifty years, different sports derived from Volleyball emerged, such as Sitting Volleyball, Sizball, Minivoley or Volleyplaya. The Asian Volleyball Confederation was also created in 1954.

The sport was introduced in the Pan American Games as well as its variant for the disabled was integrated into the Paralympics program. It is also worth mentioning the birth of Ecuavóley in the middle of the 20th century.

The outside setter continued the fine form while his side finally went to the front before winning the set, 25-21 through Chen Boya.

In the second, a peak by Dinara Oryntayeva made it a one-point frame. But the home team jumped to a 15-12 lead after plays by Cui Haixuan and Chen once again.

Silvija Popovic then fired while Tianjin seemed to go up two before Tatyan Fendrikova came out of bounds. Subsequently, in the established points, Han Yuan went higher to make the contest 2-0 with a victory of 25-18.

In the third, the Cui block went beyond the white line to make the set square to 22-22.

But the rough Chinese team claimed the next point after a blow from Li and that was followed by a leap from Liu Xiaonan to give them the match point. Finally, a 25-22 victory and a 3-0 victory in general was sealed when Atlanta’s Fendrikova could only find the net

Iranian Volleyball Team

The Iranian women’s volleyball team canceled their plans to participate in the Asian Cup tournaments due to financial problems.

Only six volleyball teams participated in the Women’s Super League in the Iranian year 1397 (March 21, 2018 – March 21, 2019), and the Steel Mill team won the championship. But since the team did not have financial support to participate in the Asian Cup, she had to cancel her plan to participate in the Asian women’s volleyball tournaments.

In an interview with state news agency IRNA, Matin Zebardast, deputy head of the Women’s Volleyball Federation, said the cancellation by the women’s volleyball team was due to financial problems.

She said: “We are going to have a difficult time.” The lack of sponsors and clubs to finance the teams reduced their numbers in the Super League.

With this cancellation and the Iranian volleyball players who do not participate in international competitions, it would be difficult to conceive that this sport has any Iranian champion in the Asian Cup or the Olympic Games. ” (State news agency IRNA: April 14, 2019)

In another report, a female football coach also spoke about the faltering situation of women’s soccer teams in Iran.

Maryam Irandoost, the head coach of the Malavan football team of Bandar Anzali, said: “The country’s economic situation and its consequent financial problems are the reason why this team has lost four players.”

Pressure to be the best

After eight months of practice throughout the day and having a contract, the players have not received a dime. This was a psychological pressure for them.

“Six other players do not participate in the drills because they do not have the money to pay for their trip.”

Irandoost revealed that although clubs allow themselves to sponsor teams, they do not do so because state Television does not broadcast women’s competitions. Irandoost added:

“The officials tried to have a program in the media to revive the women’s teams. They were supposed to give 600 million hands of support to the team, however, when we asked 100 million employees to pay 30% of the players’ contracts, they continued to promise and postpone payment of the August 23 money until March 20, 2019, saying they will pay for it at such and such a date”.

Currently, the sponsors do not support the women’s teams because their matches are not broadcast by the media … For a club that spends 7 billion dollars a year, it is completely possible to undertake a budget of 600 million men for women. “ (ISNA news agency, April 17, 2019)
