Okay, so, the other day I got this idea in my head. I wanted to see what it would take to find out what the longest volleyball game ever recorded was. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it turned out to be a bit of a wild goose chase, but a fun one!
First, I started with some basic internet searches. I typed in things like “longest volleyball game” and “volleyball game world record”. I found a bunch of articles and forum posts, but nothing concrete. Some people said it was a college game, others claimed it was some charity event. It was all very unclear. There were some mentions of a game that lasted 75 hours and 30 minutes, but it was hard to verify.
Next, I decided to go a bit deeper. I started looking at the official websites of volleyball organizations. I checked out the FIVB (you know, the big international volleyball folks) and some national federations. I scoured their news archives, their record books, everything I could get my hands on. Still, I couldn’t confirm any of these.
Then, I thought, “Maybe it’s not officially recorded.” So, I started digging into more obscure sources. I read through old newspaper articles, local sports blogs, and even some personal accounts on social media. I even tried to contact some people who were supposedly at these long games, but no luck there. They never got back to me.
Finding the video
I started searching for related videos. You know, just to see if maybe someone had filmed these marathon matches. I spent hours on various platforms, watching highlight reels, amateur footage, and everything in between. Most of them are normal games, but I just kept looking.
- I watched countless videos.
- I explored different channels and playlists.
- I shopped around for clues in the video descriptions and comments.
After all that, I still haven’t found the definitive answer to what the longest volleyball game ever was. But you know what? It was kind of fun going down this rabbit hole. It just goes to show that sometimes, the internet doesn’t have all the answers. Or maybe the answers are just buried really, really deep. In conclusion, I did find the video of the game that lasted 75 hours and 30 minutes, but I am not able to share it here.
