🇨🇳 CHINA vs USA 🇺🇸 | Highlights | Women's VNL 2024. Li shines in China’s comeback over the USA. The left-handed outside hitter tallied 20 points as the Asians prevailed 3-1.

China took another important step to qualify for the Paris Olympics on Thursday, when the Asians came from behind to defeat Olympic champions the United States in the Volleyball Nations League 2024 and add important points to their FIVB World Rankings total. Hosts Brazil also triumphed in the third day of matches at the Maracanãzinho stadium, sweeping Korea.

The Chinese, who had triumphed against continental rivals Korea on Tuesday, recovered from a first-set loss to walk away with a 3-1 (23-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-19) victory over the United States to remain undefeated in the VNL.

The four-set victory added 9.13 points to China’s total in the FIVB World Rankings, making them move two spots up, from seventh to fifth, and getting them closer to securing an Olympic spot. The Americans dropped the same amount and went from third to second, being passed by Brazil.

Outside hitter Li Yingying played a major role in the Chinese comeback, leading all scorers with 20 points, all in kills. Middle blocker Wang Yuanyuan and opposite Gong Xiangyu also had productive nights, with 18 and 16 points, respectively.

“I thought we played a very good match today,” China’s captain Yuan Xinyue commented. “The Americans play with passion and are very competitive, but we showed great unity and enjoyed ourselves on the court. I hope we can do even better in the next match. Every point is important for us here and we’ll try to do our best in each match.”
