Italy came into the Olympics as the Volleyball Nations League champions and did not lose a match en route to gold, dropping one set in the pool stage and none in the knockouts. The Americans had won a medal at the last five Olympics and the silver was their seventh overall – more than any other country in women’s volleyball – but they were no match for Italy on Sunday.
The second set was neck-and-neck at the start, before a kill from Myriam Sylla and monster blocks from Anna Danesi and Sarah Fahr gave Italy a lead to build on.
