“It will be a great tournament. Brazil will definitely organize sensational Olympic Games, while I expect Rio volleyball tournament to be the best ever. There is no better place to play volleyball than here in Brazil. The hosts are the main favorites for the gold. They defeated us in the previous two Olympic finals. The only way to beat Brazil is to have a team which is full of confidence and which is ready to fight together until the end. Wer have been working on that over the past 4 years,” said Kiraly for globoesporte.globo.com. 

In Beijing 2008 Finals. Brazil downed USA by 3-1, while it was the same in London 2012 Finals when Brazil also defeated USA by 3-1.
