Russia and Brazil will cross their ways for the first time in an Olympic final after they edged Bulgaria and Italy respectively in the semis played on Friday at Earls Court.

Russia-Bulgaria

Russia – Bulgaria

Brazil will try to claim their third Olympic title after standing on top of the podium in 1992 and 2004 while Russia will try to get that gold medal that the local volleyball family has been waiting for since the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Russia and Brazil imposed their superb quality and physical dominance in the semis where Italy did not really stand a chance while Bulgaria fought bravely but missed on their opportunities to prolong their match with Russia to the tie-break.

Bulgaria, the major sensation of the Olympic tournament, and Italy will play for bronze on Sunday morning at 9:30 am local time, as Vladimir Nikolov and his young group will try to get the first medal in the sport for their country since 1980, while Italy will vie for a third-place that would expand their Olympic collection to a total of four.
