To wash the taste of our boxing performance off my mouth, here’s one of the member of the Italian volleyball team consoling opposing Japanese player Ran Takahashi after perhaps the best volleyball match I’ve seen in my life
Both teams went insanely hard over the course of a three hour long marathon of a fight that went to back to back to back match points over and over.

Absolute nail biter that kept people glued to the screen and incredible class from both sides
