I agree. Other good candidates could be: 1) Bronze medal in the marathon in Athens 2004. Especially with that occurrence of that Irishman. 2) Volleyball is Brazil's main sport in the Olympics, so it's a little obvious that the main moments are from this sport. Another not mentioned is the famous Los Angeles 1984 silver medal. 3) Gold in men's football in 2016, which was remembered because at the time Brazil had never won a gold in the sport and the defeat in the World Cup by Germany was still recent. 4) The opening of the 2016 Olympic Games, for obvious reasons. I don't remember any others, honestly.

More than Brazil vs Russia in Athens 2004? Cesar Cielo's gold was also a great moment.

Brazilians can criticize Neymar all they want, it can be bad with him, but it's worse without him.

Normally I like Uruguay, but I won't be sad this time.

See you later, Bolsonaro. I'd love to say it was a pleasure, but no.

And as a gift, Casagrande won in my state. It's been a great night.

I'm going to have a heart attack.

Even if Brazil loses in the quarterfinals, I'm already surprised by this team. After 2016 there was a concern, because we had practically no players to replace that Olympic champion team (our under 18 and under 20 teams are mostly a joke). The result was several defeats for teams like Germany and Colombia. And now the team is playing solid again, and most importantly with new players. And of course, all this thanks to our spectacular coach.

I don't know what I've missed from volleyball in recent years, but I didn't expect to see Canada so competitive.

Lavarini Wow Poland!! Everyone can beat the USA, except Brazil.

3-2 Both teams played below their potential, especially Italy, but it was still a great achievement. And what a spectacular game by Gabi.

I still think Italy will win this tournament in the end, but I expected them to be more dominant in the matches.

I still don't understand Turkey's ability to flop in the most important championships.

Gianelli Italy

Italy is on fire.

Bronze!! Congrats, boys (And finally the bronze medal curse was broken).

I think Slovenia confused sport with basketball.

Well, they are few, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. We have some good liberos, setters and opposites who can replace the current players well. MB the current ones are not a big deal, so I think we can maintain that level. The problem is the OHs, without Lucarelli and Leal, we don't have anyone with enough level (Since Douglas left and Borges is no longer with the team). Anyway, the fact that we didn't renew this team is more because of the dubious call-up of the coach than because of a lack of talent.

Our boys played better than expected, I'm proud. And congratulations to Poland too, well deserved. Now, I hope they don't keep this stupid coach, this man has no vision of the match, he seems blind.

What a lazy format of this tournament. And I thought the FIVB was crazy.

I think I would expect a quarterfinal drama even if it was Poland v Tunisia again.

Tie breik OMG Poland...

Emotional? No, I feel that connection not even for the representatives of my own country. But I had enormous respect for her and I think she will be missed for everything she represented.
