In the Paris Olympics, Brazil overwhelmed Japan with a decisive 3-0 victory (25-20, 25-17, 25-18). This win, combined with a perfect record of two wins and no sets lost, ensures Brazil’s place in the quarterfinals, topping Pool B ahead of Poland, who also have six points but dropped a set. Japan, yet to score in the tournament, must beat Kenya to have a chance of advancing as one of the best third-placed teams. Brazilian captain Gabriela ‘Gabi’ Guimarães led with 17 points, supported by Ana Cristina Souza and Rosamaria Montibeller. For Japan, Sarina Koga and Arisa Inoue were the top performers.
