The sport\u2019s Olympic legacy began in Atlanta 1996 and was an instant hit among sports fans. The 10,000-seat stadium saw capacity crowds with more than 107,000 spectators selling out the six-day event.<\/p>\n<p>Here, the USA and Brazil cemented their position as beach volleyball powerhouses. The women\u2019s event was dominated by Brazil with Jackie Silva and Sandra Pires becoming beach volleyball\u2019s first-ever Olympic Champions, and simultaneously Brazil\u2019s first female gold medallists, while M\u00f4nica Rodrigues and Adriana Samuel took home silver.<\/p>\n<p>It was in fact Australia\u2019s Natalie Cook and Kerri Pottharst who wore the world\u2019s first Olympic beach volleyball medals after winning the bronze-medal match. The Australian duo did not have to wait long for gold, however, after emerging victorious at their home Olympics of Sydney 2000.<\/p>\n<p><em><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-63787\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-300x217.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-300x217.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-1024x740.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-768x555.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-580x420.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-860x622.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-1160x839.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-500x361.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-800x578.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C-1280x925.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/C.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Brazil&#8217;s gold and silver medallists in Atlanta 1996 celebrate<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the men\u2019s competition saw the home teams in world-class form.

The sport continues to experience non-stop growth and is now among the most-watched and most popular events at the Games.<\/p>\n<p>And while the USA and Brazil remain dominant forces in beach volleyball, having jointly taken a medal haul of 23 of 36 total medals in Olympic beach volleyball, the competition from around the world becomes stronger every year. Across London 2012 and Rio 2016, Europeans claimed four of six men\u2019s podium spots while Germany\u2019s Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst took gold in the Rio 2016 women\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the popularity and development of beach volleyball continues to advance around the world thanks to the brilliance of the sport, its incredible athletes and the efforts of the FIVB.
