News 8's Chris Saunders said he's not the tallest on the team but with his red flat top and his killer spike, Steve Timmons stands out. He was the MVP of the 1984 gold medal winning men's Olympic volleyball team. Just two weeks before the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, the team was practicing at the Old Federal Building gym in Balboa Park. This is the team that would win the gold medal that year and Steve was named the U.S. Olympic Committee's Male Volleyball Player of the Year. Coach Marv Dunphy said the team had a tradition of getting real edgy prior to big tournaments--evident in this video. He talked about how special it was to be in the 1984 Olympics and winning the gold. In 1985 Steve co-founded Redsand Beachwear, an action sports clothing and lifestyle brand. He told Chris he is a creative person and liked designing clothing and t-shirts. In 2021 Steve is an assistant coach of the San Diego State University Aztecs Women's Volleyball team.
