Silver medalists from Tokyo, Brazil, are confidently moving forward and will compete for medals in Paris after an express 3-0 (25-22, 25-13, 25-17) victory over the Dominican Republic.
The best women's national volleyball team in the preliminary phase of the Paris 2024 Games is Brazil.
With this victory, Brazil, the best national team in the preliminary phase of the Paris Games, registered their second consecutive semifinal appearance at the Games, after winning a silver medal in Tokyo three years ago. Before being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Rio 2016 Games, the South Americans had recorded six consecutive semifinal appearances.
The opponents of 'Selecao' will be determined by the quarterfinal match between USA and Poland.
With this victory, Brazil added another 3.89 points to the FIVB World Ranking and now has 410.32, remaining in second place, but this could change later today if Italy loses to Serbia in their quarterfinal match.
The star of the Brazilian outside hitter and captain Gabriela 'Gabi' Guimaraes registered the most points in the match - 20 points. Ana Cristina Souza added another 14 points, and Rosamaria Montibeller 11.
