On the evening of August 11th, Beijing time, the Tokyo Olympic Women's Volleyball Gold Medal Game came to an end. The Italian women's volleyball team defeated the United States 3-0, won the Olympic championship for the first time, and wrote a new chapter in history. At the same time, the Chinese women's volleyball team ranked fifth, while the Japanese women's volleyball team ranked ninth.

Before the final, the US team performed very well and advanced with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, while the Italian team maintained a five-game winning streak. It is particularly worth mentioning that the only loss of the US team was to the Chinese women's volleyball team. As the world's number one team, the Italian women's volleyball team has always been the favorite to win the championship. In the first five games, Italy not only won all the games but also lost only one game, showing an unparalleled state and continuously suppressing its opponents.

In this match, although the Italian women's volleyball team lost points at the beginning, they quickly adjusted and scored points to widen the gap, and finally won the first game 25-18. In the next two games, they played steadily like flowing water, winning 25-20 and 25-17, and defeated the United States 3-0. This is not only the first time in the history of the Italian women's volleyball team to win an Olympic medal, but also the gold medal they won! The US team failed to successfully defend the title.
