Quite a suprise, this chinese team has a string of losses in the play-off but regain their composure in the finals! They beat Brazil and now Poland.
They are already top of Asia (no. 4 worldwide) and will likely move up ranking regardless of the result in the finale!

Congrats to Chinese female volleyball team, we need to learn hard from them.
