Women's volleyball pool play - USA vs. Turkey

The U.S. women’s volleyball team will look to keep rolling in Pool B play when they play against Turkey.

The Americans haven’t conceded a set so far in Tokyo, winning their opening game against Argentina and second game against China in straight sets. The second victory was particularly impressive with China entering the tournament as the defending Olympic gold medalists.

The squad has been led so far by Jordan Thompson, who has scored 54 points across the two wins, and Jordyn Poulter, who has collected 88 assists.

Meanwhile, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is still the bar in the women’s sprints. The Jamaican star, 34, will try to become the oldest Olympian to win gold and the first woman to win three 100m golds at the Games.
