In 1960, the Rome Olympic Games were held in a group format, without crosses or finals, and the United States were unbeatable, with a record of 8-0 in the tournament

After passing two phases, the final phase was reached, where the United States continued without losing a match, playing the final game against Brazil, which was finally Bronze. The Soviet Union drew with the Brazilians (6-2), but the Soviet victory (64-62) between them, gave them the silver.
