U.S. Men’s Volleyball Team Wins Bronze Medal at Paris 2024
The United States men’s volleyball team has won the bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, defeating Italy 3-0 in the bronze medal match. This is the sixth volleyball medal for the American men and their third bronze medal.
The Americans swept the Italians by taking the three sets 25-23, 30-28, and 26-24. Aaron Russell, Torey DeFalco, and Max Holt were the standout performers on offense for the Americans, scoring 15, 12, and 11 points respectively. Russell was also a member of the United States’ bronze medal-winning team in Rio in 2016.
Alessandro Michieletto and Yuri Romano led the Italians with 17 points apiece. This was the fifth time since the 1988 Olympics that the American men were playing for a medal. They previously won bronze in 1992 and 2016 and came short for third place in 2004. They have only reached the gold-medal match once, in 2008, since their victory at Seoul 1988.
The U.S. men’s volleyball team has a rich history of success at the Olympic Games, with three gold medals and three bronze medals since the 1984 Olympics. This bronze medal win is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication, and they will look to build on this success in future competitions.
