Q
David Smith 2012 U.S. Olympic Men’s Volleyball Team
“Obviously all of us love high- level competition. There are so many great teams in the world that we love playing. Poland did a great job at the World Championship last year. They have great fans there. Brazil is a great team. We match up well against them and they bring out the best in us.”

Ask the Olympians “Is there an international team that
Team USA looks forward to playing and brings out the best in it?”
Foluke Akinradewo 2012 U.S. Olympic Women’s Team silver medalist
“Brazil is defi nitely the team in general that Team USA likes to play against. We naturally have a long and strong rivalry against them. They have an offense that is pretty similar to ours. Obviously they are one of the top teams in the world. So any time we play against them, they bring the best out of us and I think we do the same for them.”
