Watching the WBB gold medal game, I'm convinced if we were allowed to send two teams to participate in this Olympics, it would be an All-American final. The gap between US WBB and the world is much larger than the MBB.


I think if the Men had their absolute best players play, they could still field two teams and play each other in the finals. But, that probably won't ever happen (having absolute best 10-11 players participate).

Gold #37. There's never been any doubt. USA has been crowned seven consecutive WBB Olympic Champions in a span of a quarter of a century. That's how dominance is defined.

Dominating this third set.

Yeah Brazil just falling apart now.

I loved watching Hancock play in college. I know she's sidelines tonight but I so enjoyed watching her and Carlini against each other. Shame Carlini isn't here but IL well represented with Poulter and Bartch. Remember watching her play still in my apartment lol

A historical Gold #39. USA is now the first-ever Women's Indoor Volleyball Olympic Champion!!! This is a tremendous achievement and deserves a huge congratulation. Karch Kiraly has become the only person to win 4 Olympic gold medals in three volleyball categories (three as a player including 2 indoor and 1 beach, 1 as a coach).
