The Olympic schedule indicates that the U.S. women's volleyball team will face off against the Italian women's volleyball team in the final Olympic Paris 2024.
Earlier, in the semifinals, the Italian women's volleyball team easily secured a 3-0 victory over Turkey, with respective scores of 25-22, 25-19, 25-22. Meanwhile, the U.S. women's volleyball team struggled to defeat Brazil 3-2 (25-23, 18-25, 25-15, 23-25, 15-11).
Currently, the Italian women's team is ranked number 1 in the world rankings, while the U.S. women's team is ranked third. Notably, the American team is one of the top three teams to have risen the most in the rankings in a short period, increasing by 3 places.
In reality, the Italian women's volleyball team is considered to be stronger than the U.S. team in terms of both personnel and expertise. They have had a thorough preparation period before the Olympic Games, and have also participated in high-quality matches against strong opponents at the VNL 2024, which took place not long ago.
This is the basis for believing that the team from Europe can defeat the U.S. team to win the gold medal at this year's Olympic Games. However, they also need to be cautious when facing an opponent that is skilled at overcoming difficulties.
