On May 16, 2024, Chongqing Municipality announced that the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League is in full swing. The Chinese women's volleyball team, which won 3-0 in the first game, is facing a new challenge and is about to face the world's second-ranked United States team, aiming for two consecutive wins. The German team will play Italy, and as long as they win, they will surpass the Chinese women's volleyball team and become the new leader. Japan will play two games today, first against Bulgaria and then against Turkey, and it will be interesting to see if they can continue their winning streak.
In the first round, the Chinese women's volleyball team swept the South Korean team 3-0, giving the opponent 28 consecutive defeats. Li Yingying performed well and became a leading figure. At 4:30 a.m. Beijing time tomorrow, the Chinese women's volleyball team will have a fierce battle with the United States team. In the past 20 meetings, the Chinese team is at a disadvantage with 8 wins and 12 losses. The U.S. team is currently ranked second in the world and showed great strength with a 3-1 win over Thailand in the first round. In the last meeting, the Chinese women's volleyball team narrowly won 3-2 in the five-game battle, and whether it can defeat its rival again this time and win two consecutive victories has attracted much attention.
The German women's volleyball team swept France 3-0 in the first game and has a better chance of winning against Italy today. If it wins again, the points will surpass the Chinese women's volleyball team and become the leader. The Italians are not to be underestimated, having won 14 of their previous 18 meetings, and they are desperate to secure their first win of the tournament and avoid back-to-back defeats.
The Japanese women's volleyball team played two matches today, and it was a surprise that they narrowly defeated the world's No. 1 Turkey 3-2 in the first game. The number one star Sarina Koga scored 31 points and performed eye-catchingly. Today, they will be back in the field to meet Bulgaria. In the previous 6 games, Japan had a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, and there is a good chance that they will beat Bulgaria again.
