I’ve been cruising the internet for video of women’s volleyball and came across this wonderful synopsis of the Japan vs. USSR game during the ‘64 Olympic Games in Tokyo. The editing is quite good, and wonderfully conveys the tension of the competition. There are some amazing plays in there, but what amazes me most is how the Japanese are serving. I’ve never seen anything quite like that over the shoulder sideways hit before.
