Walter Toussaint

Walter Toussaint is a German volleyball player, born on 3 March 1938 in Leipzig, who competed in the men's tournament at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Olympedia records that he took part for East Germany and that the team finished fourth, just short of a medal after a dramatic group match against the Soviet Union, whose bus was delayed in traffic. At home he played for SC Rotation Leipzig, later SC Leipzig, and won eight national titles between 1962 and 1969, as well as the European Cup of Champions in 1964. He is a useful example of an Olympic team sport competitor whose career was spent almost entirely inside one club system.
