Episode 24: The Volleyball World Championships - Serve, Pass, Set, Spike, Defend, Rotate, Repeat
At the Sporting Almanac, more often than not we talk about sports invented in Britain and perfected elsewhere, with common threads and familiarity throughout. Not today.
We don't really do Volleyball in the UK, but we are very much the exception. This is a global sport, followed and played by nearly a billion people worldwide and can boast as being the fifth most popular sport on the planet. Its Women's and Men's World Championship's have been won by nations from four continents, and it's second only to football as the most participated in female sport.
So, whether you're British and wanting to expand your knowledge of a sport that has largely passed us by, or you're already a fan and want to know a little more about the history of the sport and competition, Ben and Jack are ready to serve up a little of their own recent learnings about another wonderful sport.
