Both this match and the OG semi were tough to watch for me. This final was a higher level of match IMO. In the semi, USA kind of fell apart after Akinradewo got hurt and then in the 4th set they raised their level while Serbia started playing badly. In the match today, of course each team had good spells and bad spells but in general I thought all the Serbian girls played good and it still almost wasn’t enough because Italy fought so hard and of course because of Egonu.

Guys let's not worry about individual awards, it's not that important in the end. Neither Brankica nor Maja looked bothered whatsoever
everyone deserves recognition really, Italian girls deserved it for something to cheer them up after this incredible run.Serbian girls all world champions and the best team in the world, Maja and Brankica were starters. They don't need anything else
Yes, individual awards are nice but they're no big deal when you have a gold medal. So proud of all these girls, especially Queen Maja of course.

Of course I would love for Maja to get MVP, but I think Boskovic will get it and I think she 100% deserves it. Hopefully Ognjenovic gets Best Setter though.

Thank you guys

Does anyone have a link for the presentation ceremony? TRT cut away to football.

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!! So happy
Italy deserve a ton of credit too for an outstanding tournament, their moment will come soon I'm sure.

I can barely watch this. Please win Serbia.

For Holland to have any chance against the absolute best teams like China they need Sloetjes to be at the top of her game and she wasn't today. It's a bit sad that they finish 4th again but they should be pleased with their efforts in this competition.

Serbia is a true and authentic European team. Unlike Italian team which has a bunch of African players with a Italian citizenship. Serbia is going to win the final.
not really. Both Egonu and Sylla were born in Italy so of course they are Italian. I want Serbia to win as well but there’s really no need for comments like these.

I guess they just want to avoid a long empty moment between the matches...
yes, I think the same and I do understand that point. I just think the players deserve to know when they will play. I don’t mean to make a big deal out of it because it probably doesn’t matter really but something like this would never happen at the FIFA World Cup for example.

Again, I have to point out that the schedule is stupid. CHN-NED at 17:20 and the final at 19:40. Why not schedule the matches with enough time so they can say for sure when each one will start? Much better than delaying the final which is what will happen unless the bronze match is 3:0.
-
What a match! Congrats Italy, especially after coming back from that heartbreaking 4th set loss and lots of respect for China for a huge fight. Neither team deserved to lose, but that's just how it goes.
Can't wait for the final
-
Insane. Can Italy possibly recover from that???
-
Tension is off the charts
-
Italy look great, but I'm shocked by just how badly China played that set. Their passing and defence are terrible
. I expect a much better performance from them starting now. -
It may be a little early to say this, but if De Gennaro doesn't get Best Libero then there is something very wrong with the people choosing the individual award winners.
-
I'm excited for this one and I have no idea who is going to win. I was too nervous to enjoy the last match, but since I don't really care who wins this match I'm just going to enjoy it.

Stream for ITA x CHN? THANKS!
-
No, they are already doing the national anthems.

Why did FIVB schedule one match for 13:40 and the next for 16:10? The ITA-CHN match was never gonna start in time unless the first match was 3:0
