Trivia

  • Diggers needed

    Volleyball teams feature one player wearing a different colored jersey: the libero, a defensive specialist adept at digging. Meaning "free" in Italian, the libero is not allowed to serve, spike the ball, or to rotate into one of the front-row positions.

  • Like mother, like daughter

    Ronda Rousey became only the second woman to ever medal at the judo world championships when she took silver in 2007 in Rio de Janeiro.  The only other woman to do so?  Her mother, AnnMaria Rousey, who won gold in 1984. 
  • Beach bragging rights

    Brazil has won more Olympic medals in beach volleyball (7) than any other nation, but the United States (five total medals) is the only country to win gold at each of the three Olympics in which the sport has been contested.
