By the time he made it to university, Duff was named the University of Winnipeg's 2010 male athlete of the year. Duff's amateur sports career started in Winnipeg, his hometown, when he began playing volleyball at 16 at Maples Collegiate. The Rio Olympics run Aug. 5-21 and the volleyball competition begins Aug. 6. A Winnipeg volleyball player says he's excited about competing in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he'll face the toughest teams in the world. While some might be comforted by family and friends cheering from the sidelines, Duff added he's happy his loved ones are staying in Manitoba for the Rio Olympics.
