Italy in a total class for themselves this Olympics.
Absolutely wrecked!
They beat the ๐ฉ out of them.
So, the friendly match is over, when are they going to play the final?
Dominance.
Outstanding victory, Egonu is insane and also the rest of the Italian team played the match of their life
Grandi ragazze
And now USA’s top spot in the medal table is down to the last chances (omnium and women’s basketball)
Goodman the girls completely wiped them. I kinda got worried at the start of the third but they built a EIGHT point lead ๐ญoutrageous
Holy shit we fucking steamrolled them. Was not expecting this kind of domination.
Never even been to the semifinals before and now it’s a gold medal. The commentators on Rai were legit crying, it means so much to everyone.
So, with this Gold there are three people from the same Italian town who won Gold medals. ๐
Italy first time going past quarter finals!
An interesting fact: 8/13 of USA squad plays in the Italian League.
They gave 100%.
Clean blocks and great plays all around!
Already a legendary team. Grazie
That was… Very one-sided, dammit. Absolute respect to ~~tram~~ team (ops!) USA but Italy was on another planet… Not even, on another galaxy today.
Immense queste ragazze!!!!!! I’m so happy for them
Egonu and antropova in the same team should be illegal, incredible consistency all tournament winning a olympic tournament with only one set lost is insane and zero set lost in the elimination phase. What a team
The Dream Team
In all of the tournament they won all sets, but one. Total dominance!
It’s easy to say we have the strongest player in the world, but the whole team was INCREDIBLE this whole tournament: Fahr, Orro, Danesi,Sylla, every single girl did an outstanding job!
Only 1 set lost in the tournament, they were DOMINANT
Turkey faced them in both group stage and semi finals, unlucko
They were (annoyingly) too good. Haha.
Well played Italy!
Team Italy made up of actual Roman goddesses straight off of Mount Olympus, led by Paola Egonu, the incarnation of Victoria, the winged goddess of victory.
And the scary part was, Italy was still dominating even when Egonu took a break on the bench, because their squad is that talented and skilled.
It was never close. Italy just played next next level, with the US, and indeed, every other team they’ve faced in Paris playing several levels below. Volleyball played at a level mere mortals can only stare up at in wonder.
Deserved. Their numbers are outstanding in the gold medal match ( just like how the US beat Brazil in Tokyo)
Im glad they were able to resolve their internal issues
Italy was absolutely unstoppable. The USA team couldn’t block to save their lives, but congrats to both teams for podium finishes!
Man, I donโt follow volleyball a ton but had to root for my US girlsโฆItaly is a good team! Those girls in the front are machines.
Congrats from Serbia! ๐๐๐ (see you at the next Olympics hehehe๐)
Well done italy!!! ๐ ๐๐๐
Best volleyball team we ever had honestly, together with the male team in ’96 olympics.
Same technical coordinator that now closes the circle and finally gets that awaited and deserved gold. Velasco made italian volleyball history once again.
Complete dominance.
complimenti i miei amici
Congratulations ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Same story with the menโs gold medalist. They both won the VNL 2024.
Massive congratulations to Italy and coach Velasco.
When the former coach Mazzan*i finally left in October 2023, we didn’t even know if we would be able to qualify for the Olympics.
Then Mr Julio Velasco came to our aid at the beginning of 2024, we qualified, we won the VNL and we won the Gold Medal at the Olympics!
As an American I was hoping for a different outcome, but the Italians knocked butt today and were obviously the better team. Congrats to them for their gold medal.
Complete dominance. Couldnโt even be mad watching that final, was clear from the first serve who the better team was.
Egoni and De Gennero deserves this.
We finally broke the olympic curse! Congratulations girls!!
They played really good frr, dominated everything
THE GOATS!!!
USA simply doesnโt stand a chance. Italy just excellent in every aspect of the game. As expected from VNL champions
