Italy leads with three consecutive wins, Brazil is second with three wins, Poland has dropped to third, Japan is fourth, and China's women's team is seventh!

Brazil faced Bulgaria. Brazil had won their first two matches, and this round they met the underdog Bulgaria. Despite some improvement, Bulgaria could not cause much trouble for Brazil. Although Bulgaria fought hard and kept the score close in the first set, they lost 23-25 to Brazil, falling short in key moments. Then Brazil dominated the next two sets, unleashing their full power to win 25-17 and 25-13, sweeping Bulgaria 3-0 for their third straight victory, moving up to second place!

Italy Women's Volleyball faced Turkey. Italy, the defending champion with strong strength, took on Turkey in what was considered a European derby showdown. In the first set, Italy dominated from the start and won easily, taking a 1-0 lead. In the second set, Turkey fought tenaciously and narrowly won 28-26, leveling the match at 1-1. However, Italy regained control in the third and fourth sets, playing with overwhelming offense to win both sets, securing a 3-1 victory over Turkey and achieving three straight wins to top the standings!

China's women's team debuted with a new lineup. Last night, facing the tall Serbian team, they put on an impressive performance, sweeping them 3-0. Notably, all three sets had the same score of 25-21, and each was decided by a late surge. With this victory, China secured their second consecutive win. However, because Canada defeated France 3-1, China dropped one spot from sixth to seventh in the rankings. Tonight, they will face Poland in their last match in Nanjing. Poland is a very strong opponent, making it extremely difficult for China to win. We should be prepared for a loss. Good luck!
