Where Your 2016 Volleyball Olympians Are Playing Professionally
Find out where the members of the 2016 USA Olympic volleyball teams are playing professionally this year.
What happens to your favorite Olympians after the Games end? Most of them head overseas to kick off another club season with their professional teams.
A few 2016 indoor volleyball Olympians retired after the Rio Games, including Courtney Thompson and Christa Dietzen of the U.S. Women's National Team. Alisha Glass has not officially retired, but she is taking some time off away from volleyball. On the men's side, Reid Priddy has tossed in the towel, at least for the indoor game, and Murphy Troy is not currently competing professionally, perhaps due to the fact that he is getting married on October 29.
Rachael Adams and Jordan Larson are both playing for Eczacibasi Vitra Istanbul in Turkey, and the duo helped its squad win the gold medal at the FIVB Women's Club World Championships in Manila, Philippines, on October 23. Adams and Larson faced Olympics teammate Carli Lloyd and fellow American Lauren Gibbemeyer, who play for Italy's Pomi Casalmaggiore, in the championship match. Olympian Foluke Akinradewo and her Volero Zurich squad won bronze at the event.
See the table below to find out where your favorite 2016 Olympians are competing this fall and winter.
