U.S. Women in Gold Medal Volleyball match. SPOILER

The U.S. Women's volleyball team has won their first ever Gold Medal in Olympic Volleyball.

I'm so happy for them! They certainly deserve it.

The demolished a tough Brazilian team, 3 games to none.

Well done, ladies!

It’s great that they pulled together and stepped up to the challenge after their best player got injured to make it to the medal round. This team showed a lot of grit.

In the first few preliminary rounds they looked disorganized and unsure of themselves. I didn't think they had much of a chance to make it to the medal rounds.

They've been waiting for this since the 1960s, and they finally got off the schneid. Just goes to show what determination, hard work, and great coaching can do.
