Background

Charles Frederick "Karch" Kiraly is an American volleyball player, coach, and broadcast announcer. He was a central part of the U.S National Team that won gold medals at the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games.

He is the only player to have won Olympic medals of any color in both the indoor and beach volleyball categories.
