PARIS - France and Italy painted the South Paris Arena 1 blue as they won the volleyball gold medals to cap a memorable Olympics for the men's defending champions and the women's team who had never claimed a medal at the Games before.France rode a wave of euphoria at their home Olympics and delivered the country's 15th gold in Paris in scintillating fashion with assured performances, losing just one group stage match en route to back-to-back titles.
"For Poland, the wait for a second gold will now slip into a fifth decade, with the ecstasy of reaching a first final since 1976 turning into agony after France beat them in straight sets.But Poland did cross the quarter-final hurdle at long last, having fallen in the last eight at every Olympics since 2004."If someone offered us the silver medal before , we would all have signed in blood," Poland coach Nikola Grbic said.
