In the final moments of the QF match of Argentina vs Italy, Conte said something aloud to his teammates a couple of times right before Lima served. Can anyone help translate what he said?
Do you mean when Argentina was 8-9 down and Conte had just scored a point? He said this: "Vamo ahi, vamo vamo", "dale, dale, buena bola". Later (before Lima ace) he said: "cabeza ahora, vamo vamo vamo". It is like this "Come on, come on, good ball (it is literally, but with good ball he meant = good serve). Then he said cabeza = head, but in this case he meant to stay focused and well, finished with more "come on, come on". There is a part I dont hear well cuz of the Mexican commentator is also talking. So I cant traslate that.

Thanks, Leonardo! Lima did receive the mental boost from Conte and scored 4 points in a row! Apart from the two aces with power and tactics, in both attack occasions he managed to convert the half chances into points.
Coincidentally, right after Conte scored to make it 8:9, the NBC commentator said "who is going to step up for Argentina from the serving line", and Lima answered that one minute after.
When Lima scored that back row spike from the 5m area, the commentator said "he's the man possessed" to compliment his extraordinary performance.

I was in the way to write something about this too.
From Beijing 2008, there are only two players who were in Tokyio too: Maxim and Bruno. The Brazilian has one 🥇 (Rio 2016) and two 🥈(Beijing 08 and London 12).
Sergey Tetyukhin has 4:
🥇London 2012
🥈Sydney 2000
🥉Athens 2004
🥉Beijing 2008
Samuele Papi also has 4:
🥈Atlanta 1996
🥈Athens 2004
🥉Sydney 2000
🥉London 2012
Serginho has 4 too:
🥇Athens 2004
🥇Rio 2016
🥈Beijing 2008
🥈London 2012
Nevertheless, Sergey is has the distinction of being the only volleyball player in the world (female or male) with 4 Olympic medals who has all three types of those awards.
