The rise of the U.S. women’s volleyball team has been impressive, but an Olympic gold medal has still eluded it. At the past two Olympics, Brazil has beaten the U.S. in the gold medal match. Those two silver medals from Beijing and London are certainly nice, but breaking through and winning gold against the Brazilians on their home soil would be especially sweet.
And speaking of the defending gold medal winners, Brazil is set to face Japan Wednesday night. The host country is in a different group from the U.S., so the two sides won’t face each other in the group stage, but we could be looking at a third straight USA vs. Brazil gold medal match. That would be a lot of fun.
There’s a full slate of matches set for Wednesday, so here’s how to watch them all online (all times ET):
