Hoff is entering his third Olympics and was on the squad that finished fourth in Athens in 2004, which was the Americans’ best finish since winning the bronze in 1992. The U.S. also won gold medals in 1984 and 1988.

“Hopefully we will draw strength in seeing both our great comeback versus Greece (in 2004), knowing to never give up,” Hoff said. “We also saw how small the difference is between winning a medal and not when we played Russia (in the bronze-medal match).”

They beat Brazil in the World League, a title we'd be holding onto for a few years. Which actually made me glad, now those guys know they have to work harder to defend their gold medal.
