A big heart was not enough to win, to beat China: young Martian volleyball Italy’s wowed even though the blue volleyball lost 3-1 with a pulse-pounding final fourth. Talented napoletana Antonella Del Core, stunning all others but against Chinese girls there was little to be done. Under two to zero, the Italy clinched the third set but then after canceled 4 match points lost. With honor. Now will fight in the third and fourth place.
