China wins its first women's volleyball gold since 2004
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – China won their third Olympic Games women’s volleyball gold on Saturday with a 3-1 victory over Serbia in the final.
China also won gold in 1984 and 2004 while they were runners-up to Cuba in 1996.
Serbia was playing in the Olympic final for the first time having previously never progressed beyond the quarter-finals.
