Nagano, where the opening match of the Men's Site
B will be played, is the capital city of Nagano prefecture and has
a population of 360,000. The Winter Olympic Games in 1998 have made
Nagano well known internationally; however, surprisingly, the World
Cup in 1999 was the first major volleyball event which Nagano hosted,
and it will be staged again this year. "White Ring" was
the competition venue for figure skating and short track in the
Olympic Games and the quality of its facilities was apparent then.
