Evandro and Arthur overcome Dutch duo and secure country in next stage; Women’s Volleyball Team makes Internet wonder: how many sets does volleyball have? Brazil defeated the Netherlands in beach volleyball with the duo Evandro and Arthur by 2-0 and is also defeating Poland in indoor volleyball with the Women’s Volleyball Team, currently leading 2 sets to 0 (including one of the longest sets in Olympic history). While the Brazilians didn’t give their opponents a chance on the sand, the girls led by Zé Roberto needed a series of 38 points to secure the 2-0 on the court.

Bad day, but comeback came in volleyball
This Sunday (4th) was marked by significant losses for Team Brazil. Hugo Calderano, Brazil’s medal hope, lost the Bronze match to the Frenchman Félix Lebrun, while the men’s beach volleyball had the loss of the duo George and André to the Germans. Later, we had eliminations in Kayak Cross (despite Ana Sátila’s qualification for the quarterfinals, one of the few joys of the day) and Archery. In the afternoon, the women’s duo Carol and Bárbara, also from beach volleyball, lost to Australia and exited the competition in Paris.

With this atmosphere, the Brazilian fans went to X/Twitter to lament the performance, but also show support for both women’s volleyball and men’s beach volleyball, whether through memes or messages of support.

How many sets are in volleyball?
Brazil played one of the longest sets in Olympic history in volleyball: they needed 38 points to overcome Poland in the second set. The current record also involves the Brazilian team, but the men’s team: 39-37, in Tokyo 2020. With the different situation, internet users searched for information about the number of sets.

Set Point is the point that will define the set, meaning closing the series that will count towards the final score. In the case of a Set Point that will determine the match, it is called a Match Point. Brazil alternated with Poland in Set Points several times during the second set of the match. It is worth noting that in volleyball, two points of difference are required after reaching 25 points. Therefore, in case of a tie in points, it is necessary to score two consecutive times to win. On the Internet, several users highlighted the great game played by the Women’s Volleyball Team, who persevered and won with 38 points, one less than the Olympic record, and made jokes about the anxiety caused by the long series.
