I remember seeing this back in the day. Lots of speculation (pre-social media) if Karch Kiraly and Steve Timmons would play in the 1992 Olympics (Timmons did, Kiraly didn't). But interesting to see how slow this game is compared to today's elite volleyball (probably compared to international volleyball of that era, too).
this game is an interesting study in the huge difference between Beach and Indoor. Stoklos is one of the top 5 or so all time greats in Beach, and looks like an amateur in this Indoor game. Indoor, he wasn't really tall enough to excel as an OH, was shank city receiving serve with that Indoor ball, nor Indoor could he use those sweet, sweet hands (greatest of all time IMHO hand setting on the Beach). Lastly, his competitive fire and focus in Beach was kind of lost as a role player in this game. this really underscores the incredible player Karch was, to be able to be among the top handful of greatest all time players in both sports.

Vullo.. Grandissimo giocatore
What the hell are these rules, are there no backrow players? Looks like everyone can hit frontrow. Plus they're four blockers?? Very interesting
This is great. I wish the U.S. has a pro league again. We have great players here.
