Celebration time in Civitanova as both Italy and the USA qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio 2016. Coach Blengini, scout Carancini, spiker Juantorena and outside hitter Sabbi helped Italy to beat the World Champions of Poland in the key game. Micah Christenson and the Northern Americans will be in Rio too. Thanks to a decisive 3-1 win over Argentina, they finished a point above Italy. The ice on the cake is that Juantorena and Christenson were respectively named best spiker and best setter of the tournament.
