The only thing better than repeating as Olympic champion? Defending the gold medal on home court. Reigning champion France will face Poland in the Olympic men’s volleyball finals.
In Tokyo, France earned its first-ever men’s volleyball medal, downing the ROC in five to win the gold. Poland also has just one podium finish, gold in 1976, despite being ranked the top team in the world. It has a chance to make history now — if it can upset the home crowd, of course.
Poland’s coming off a five-set thriller against the U.S. in the semifinals. It’ll need to dig deep to beat France, a squad that has had plenty of rest since sweeping Italy.
Regardless, this is going to be one for the books as the best in the world make it official in the Olympic finals. Here’s how to watch.
