Two out of four! World Women's Volleyball League Finals: Italy sweeps the USA, while China's women's volleyball team suffers a reversal.

On July 24, Beijing time, the World Women's Volleyball League Finals kicked off with great enthusiasm. Two matches have already concluded, with the Italian women's volleyball team defeating the American team 3-0, while China's team faced a dramatic 2-3 defeat against Poland. As a result, the final four teams have two spots filled by Italy and Poland, who will now meet in the semifinals to compete for a place in the finals!

Italy's women's volleyball team is up against the USA's team. Italy is currently the strongest team, dominating the competition with an unbeaten record leading into the finals. The American team, while still a strong contender, has seen a decline in performance, finishing eighth to barely qualify for the finals. The match between the two teams was intense, with the USA keeping close scores, but they struggled to convert key points. Italy's powerful attacks repeatedly succeeded, ultimately sweeping the match 3-0 with scores of 25-22, 25-21, and 28-26!

China's women's volleyball team faces Poland's team. Both teams have a record of 9 wins and 3 losses in this league. In their previous two encounters, China lost both, making this their third matchup where they are not favored. The match began with China quickly finding their rhythm, serving sharply and pulling ahead with a score of 25-17. In the second set, Poland intensified their attacks and we couldn't contain them, losing 20-25. The third set saw China rebound with a multi-faceted offense, suppressing Poland's firepower to win 25-19, leading 2-1 overall. In the fourth set, Poland retaliated swiftly, catching China off guard and taking it 25-19, pushing the match into a decisive fifth set. In the final set, China failed to seize crucial points, losing 12-15 and being eliminated with a total score of 2-3, suffering a three-match defeat against Poland, which is truly unfortunate!

Thus, two spots in the final four were decided overnight, with Italy and Poland, both European teams. There are still two quarterfinal matches to come: Japan will challenge Turkey, and Brazil will face Germany. We look forward to the emergence of the final four teams!
