BEIJING - Brazil has won its first gold medal in women's volleyball, ending the United States' dramatic run.
Brazil defeated the Americans three sets to one, to complete the Olympic tournament undefeated. The final match went 25-18, 18-25, 25-13, 25-21.
The Olympics started on a tragic note for the U.S. team when the father of a former teammate was fatally stabbed at a popular tourist site hours after the opening ceremony.
The competition was also marked by the return of U.S. coach Jenny Lang Ping to her hometown. Lang led the Chinese team to the gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Games with a final-match victory over the United States.
