This 22 year old giant who measures 65 in height first achieved national recognition in 1973 when she competed with the U.S. entry in the World University Games at Moscow. However, she was then just a raw recruit who showed ocassional flashes of brilliance. But during the past four years Flo has steadily improved her volleyball game while pursuing her education at University of Houston. She originally moved to Texas to play with a nationally prominent volleyball The experts are saying that the til.S. Womens National Team, which Rias qualified for the 1980 Moscow 'Olympics may not appear there "because of politics, is the best in the world. And for evidence they site wins over Japan, recent .Korea and the Soviet Union, the top ?&iree teams at the 1976 Olympics. There is no doubt that the U.S. Nfeeam has some players that are among the five or six best in the world. And for sure the balance of the squad is world class throughout. Four players have been getting most of the recognition of late, and their performances have made that recognition deserved. Leading the group is the giant (65) Flo Hyman who not only dominates the net as the vyorlds premier spiker, but also is being groomed as a setter. Miss Hyman has earned a number of Most one-side- d million dollar athlete if she were a boy) who is still learning the game, Rita has one of the best jumps in the world, measured at 39. (David Thompson only goes 40). She is also very quick, and could be sprint star if she wasn't into volleyball. Her high, quick attack has complimented the more powerful spikes of Hyman and Dowdell, and allows the U.S. squad to mount an offense that is the best anywhere. Four super stars do not alone make a world class team. It takes six on the floor at any one time, and a bench that can spell a tired starter or sub for a player who is not having a good day.

Success has been the result of a combination of things, most of all her willingness to work hard hour after hour, day after day, year and year. But this dedication is paying dividends both to Flo and to the Womens National Team. In early 1976 Miss Hyman and her teammates narrowly missed winning the last Olympic Berth at a tournament in Germany won by East Germany. Undaunted, Flo set her sights on the 1980 Olympics, recognizing that she was still young and had tremendous capacity for continued growth. P.S. women may be the world's best & 627-054- Hyman maybe the best . overpower the best teams in the world and to establish the Americans as medal threats in every competition. During this seven city tour the two teams will be trying to establish dominance, one over the other, to gain a psychological advantage for Moscow. But they will also be trying to experiment with different players, different combinations, and different plays, to see how the opponent reacts and how the players respond. And they certainly dont want the other team to get the book on them this early in the year. But they will want to win, because at this level with the Olympics just down the road winning momentum is most important.
