On August 3, Beijing time, in the women's volleyball group stage of the Paris Olympics, the Japan women's volleyball team won the first victory 3-0 Kenya women's volleyball team, with three game scores: 25-17, 25-22, 25-12. This match was the last match of the Olympic Games for the Japan women's volleyball team, and although they won, they were still out, and Sarina Koga scored 16 points to complete the curtain call.
Before Japan vs Kenya, I have already said that the conditions for the Japan women's volleyball team to advance are very harsh, they not only have to 3-0 Kenya, but also need the Dominican Republic and Netherlands to play to the tie-break, as long as the Dominican / Netherlands wins 3 or 4 games Japan will be directly out. Before the Japan vs Kenya match, the Dominican women's volleyball team defeated Netherlands 3-1, and the Dominican Republic directly locked the quarterfinals.
Although the match between United States and France has not yet been played, there is not much suspense about the result, and France cannot win against United States, so United States locks a place in the quarterfinals is a matter of more than 99% probability.
Although the Japan women's volleyball team was out of the tournament 3-0 Kenya, Sarina Koga also ushered in the curtain call of her career, and she said before this Olympics that no matter what the Japan team's record is, it will be her last time to participate in the Olympics. In this game, she scored 16 points with 31 deductions and 14 of the game, +1 block and 1 shot; Ishikawa scored 12 points in 25 deductions and 12 points,
Japan women's volleyball team also missed the quarterfinals for two consecutive Olympic Games, and the world ranking seventh has some foreign power, of course, Japan and Brazil, Poland, Kenya are indeed a little unlucky in the same group, it can only be said that the time is also fate. China, United States, Serbia, and France fought United States in the first game of a group, which is hard power, and competitive sports dishes are the original sin.
