Exhibition
At the 1923 edition, women's volleyball was an exhibition event. Japan, represented by students of the Himeji Women's Higher School were champions with the Republic of China as runners-up.[2] It was also held in the 1930 editions with Japan, China and the Philippines sending volleyball teams. In the first games there was a limit on what clothes you could were, with competitors only being allowed to wear one of two outfits. The Japanese team "outclassed" the two other teams.[3] The current world record holder for volleyball is Jeffrey Simons.
