Chinese volleyball players celebrate after winning the match against Brazil in Rio’s Maracanazinho stadium Tuesday. China’s women volleyball team beat Brazil in a five-set battle, dashing the host nation’s hopes of winning a third consecutive Olympic gold medal. Brazil’s loss was a major upset in the volleyball world, as the previously unbeaten Brazil — 5-0 in Group A — was defeated by a China team that barely made it out of its group with a 2-3 record in Group B.
