The boys of the Brazilian volleyball team overcame the feud by defeating Argentina (19/25, 21/25, 25/16, 25/21 and 16/14) in a tie-break this Monday (26). But the road to selection in these Olympics is full of stones. The team, under the command of Rennan Dal Zoto, face Russia, France and the United States in the group stage.
In these Olympics, Brazil has two victories, as it defeated Tunisia 3–0 on its debut, and is the leader of Group B, which represents the Russian Olympic Committee with the team. The states and France each have won, while Argentina and Tunisia are yet to win.
The women’s volleyball team is also 100% on debut with a 3–0 win over South Korea. The girls face the Dominican Republic team this Tuesday (27).
