One of the Saddest Moments in Women's Volleyball History !!!

One of the Saddest Moments in Women's Volleyball History !!! China claimed its third consecutive win at the FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship here on Wednesday, beating Japan 28-26, 25-17, 29-27 to take a sole lead in the pool.

Rio Olympic champions overcame strong fightback from their opponents in the third set, coming back from 23-20 down and converting their second match point to wrap up the tough victory.

World No. 7 Japan could have earned them a chance for the fourth set but squandered three set points. Another blow for them was that their captain and outside hitter Sarina Koga limped off the court, seeming to have injured her ankle.

Sarina Koga (古賀 紗理那, Koga Sarina, born May 21, 1996) is a Japanese volleyball player who won the bronze medal at the 2013 U23 World Championship with Japan's U23 national team. She also competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics, in women's volleyball.[1] Koga retired after the 2024 Summer Olympics.
