The men's tournament saw the Netherlands upgrade from silver in Barcelona four years earlier to their first gold medal. Their only loss came in the pool play against Italy, and they would meet again in the final, with the Netherlands winning a final set decider to deny the Italians in their first final. Yugoslavia won their first medal when they defeated Russia 3-1 in the bronze medal match.
 
The women's tournament saw Cuba win the second of what would be three straight golds, but only after losing to both Brazil and Russia in pool play. They would gain redemption in a five-set battle with the Brazilians in the semis, before meeting China in the final, following their dismissal of the Russians in their semi-final. Although the Chinese would win the first set, Cuba would claim a 3-1 win to retain the title. Four years after losing to the USA in the bronze medal game, the Brazilians would claim their first-ever medal, defeating Russia 3-2.
