On August 11, 2024, the women's volleyball competition of the Paris Olympics came to an end, and the latest report was released: the world's No. 1 Italian women's volleyball team relied on an unstoppable performance to defeat the defending champion American team 3-0, winning the Olympic gold medal for the first time and setting a new record in history. At the same time, the Chinese women's volleyball team finally won the fifth place in this competition, and unfortunately lost to the Turkish team after a hard-fought five-game battle in the quarterfinals.

Italy is firmly in first place in the world rankings, and the U.S. women's volleyball team, as the defending Olympic champion, lost to China in the group stage, but then won four consecutive games to advance directly to the finals. Although the U.S. team has a slight advantage in the history of the two sides' confrontation, Italy has recently won two consecutive games, showing strong competitiveness. It will not be easy for the defending champion to stop three consecutive losses.

In the first game, the Italian team led all the way, scoring 6 points in a row to widen the gap. Although the US women's volleyball team tried their best to catch up, they failed to narrow the gap. Eggru led the team to launch a powerful offensive and successfully won the second game point. In the end, Italy led the first game 25-18. In the second game, Italy led halfway with 12-9 and won 25-20. In the third game, the US team's performance was still sluggish, and Italy took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, and finally completed a 3-0 sweep and won the gold medal.

Thus, the Italian team won the gold medal in the Paris Olympics without any loss, creating a legendary record. The American team, which failed to defend its title, could only be runner-up. The Brazilian team won third place, surpassing the Turkish team, while the Chinese women's volleyball team finally ranked fifth, and the Japanese women's volleyball team was ninth and failed to advance to the knockout stage.
