YEEEEAH! Well done Japan!
-
what a come from behind win. the japanese were super steady in the last half of the 5th set.
-
Although Tsukasa Nakagawa (S) is somewhat deserving as well
-
Congratulations Japan.
I'm so sorry for my italian girls, they stopped playing well right when it was needed.

Congrats to Japan! Congrats to both teams! Japan is the unbeaten champion! What a match! What a come back!
It seemed that Latinoamerica gives luck to Italy, since they have got all their gold medals there (Peru 2011, Peru 2015 and Argentina 2017), but today it wasnt the case.
As well as I said it with Turkey, of course it hurts to lost the final when you were leading 0-2, but this italian generation is also very successful. More than 3 players could be added to the senior team, at least in the bench. Italy has such a deep bench
It was also good to see good japanese prospescts, higher ones!

I`m so happy for Japan.....and how funny they ended it with 2 blocks on Lubian.
I feel bad for Italy....today they felt what they made Turkey feel.
What a game...what a tournament....Gracias Mexico.

Congrats to Japan!
As best receiver and second best attacker of the tournament, Haruna Soga deserves the MVP award for sure! I also expect both Japanese setter and libero to be in the dream team. Merv Atlier and Brovkina as MBs. Soga and Ishikawa as best ohs and enweonwu as best opp. They might give one of best OH award to Derya Cebecioğlu to make the dream team more diverse

Insane comeback by the Japanese team. Again, w/ younger players, anything can happen! After Italy v. Turkey, perhaps karma/ Lady Luck moved elsewhere.
-
Too bad. Ishikawa has brand name, I guess. She played well but YOLO was MVP without question

I agree...
also Terry (Italy`s OPP = Egonu`s cousin) had a torn ACL over a year ago. This individual award meant a lot to her.
No award for Lubian or Kone

Not sure what you mean. If you watched Japan play in this tournament there was nothing surprising about the final result

How cute are these Japanese girls. Congrats.

Japan was even the favorite according to the bookmakers, both the matches vs Italy and Turkey.
Still though, amazing comeback from 0-2 down, congrats Japan!

I guessed all correct except MVP and libero🎉 I didn't expect they will give individual award to a player from 7th team
She didn't even play every match in this tournament
I was cheering for Soga as MVP but won't complain about Ishikawa neither. Both were clearly best ohs at this tournament. With such solid reception line, they still attacked quite well. It is hard to find all around OHs like these two nowadays.
Kone seems to be at a similar level to fahr and lubian. Italy has so many good options at MB position 😱
