2021: ROC = Russian Olympic Committee athletes at the 2020 Summer Olympics; This is the outcome of a decision by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on 9 December 2019 banning Russia from all international sport for four years,
after it was found that data provided by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency had been manipulated by Russian authorities with a goal of protecting athletes involved in its state-sponsored doping scheme.
As at the 2018 Winter Olympics, WADA would allow individual cleared Russian athletes to compete neutrally under a title to be determined (which may not include the name „Russia‟, unlike the use of „Olympic Athletes from Russia‟ in 2018).

1973:
The tournament was not played because a political dispute between
TCH and PRK. In the middle of August 1973, Czechoslovakia as host
did not accept the inscription of North Korea one day after the
term. FIVB accepted the late finish of Asian Championship as a
reason for this delay. Czechoslovakia did not agree with this, so
the tournament was cancelled.
World Grand Champions Cup - Men
