Its back on! What a vault by our Canadian at his second attempt at 5.50m

That must feel awful falling into that soaking wet mat. You would think they would have covered it

It blows my mind how these guys can dig these smashes and serves perfectly to the setter.

Woo! Canada wins!

Based on the 2016 world league standings, we've beaten the #4 and #5 teams in the world now.

Brazil is #2 and France #3, and one of them is going home. Makes me wonder if the Italians weren't terribly invested in winning this one.

I was wondering the same thing. There seemed to be an awful lot of mental errors on Italys part. Oh well...a win's a win especially when you absolutely need it!

re: this afternoon's brief debate on sexism: one of our 400m hurdlers is wearing makeup for the race. Say what you will about sexism, these girls know their looks sell.
