Volleyball World Records

Have you heard about the Guinness Book of World Records? I'm sure you have, and I'm sure you know the vast variety of world records included in that book. In this post you'll read about volleyball world records.

The tallest volleyball player is...

Wuttichai Suksara!

Basic information about him is that he's 222cm tall, he's from Thailand, and he's born on June 21, 1995. If you Google 'tallest volleyball player' another name will show up and you'll probably feel tricked. But if you read the paragraph, you'll realize it's Google that's tricking you.

The lowest volleyball player is...

Farhad Zarif!

Suksara's opposite measures 165cm and is Iranian. He played for his country's national team and is currently playing with Paykan Tehran. His birthdate is March 3, 1983.

The longest volleyball game was...

It lasted 85 hours. Of course, not consecutively. Because the teams tied many of the matches, it took 63 matches for a team to win. Fun fact, over 14,635 points were scored.

The fastest serve was...

A serve is the way to start a game. The fastest one went 132 kilometers per hour and belongs to Matey Kaziyski.

The tallest sitting player is...

Volleyball can also be played while sitting. The goal is the same: not to let the ball touch anything else that is not a player. The name is Morteza Mehrzad with 246 cm in height.

Those were a few of the many records there are. Hopefully we'll see each other in a week again! Bye!
