Notes

^ Note that Group system was introduced in 2014 (though similar system based on FIVB ratings was used in 2013) - everything before that is considered Group I.
^ Since Group system was introduced statistics of only Group I Final Round is included, as this is the medal round.
^ Russia's total includes appearances as Soviet Union and CIS.
^ Serbia's total includes appearances as FR Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro.
^ It is worth mentioning that in season 1993 Italy had only 1 defeat in 20 matches, which is the only season that had as much matches in Intercontinental Round.
