South Korea's women's volleyball team has escaped from its 30th consecutive victory in the Volleyball Nations League

The Korean women's volleyball team beat Thailand (13th in the world ranking) with a set score of 3-1 (25-19 23-25 25-16 25-18) in the fourth game of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) VNL held at Maracaranginho Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on the 20th (Korea time).토토사이트

It was a valuable victory in 31 matches. It is the first time in about three years that Korea has won in the VNL event since the match against Canada on June 15, 2021. Korea started losing consecutive games in the last three games of the VNL event in 2021, and suffered humiliating loss in all 12 losses in 2022 (12 losses) and 2023 (12 losses). Since appointing a new coach Fernando Morales, the team has lost all of its first three games, prolonging its losing streak.

However, the situation was different this time around. Team Korea, which met with Thailand, blasted Kang So-hwi (22 points), Jeong Ji-yoon (16 points), and Park Jeong-ah (16 points) triangular formation. The team also led the game with 13 errors, almost twice as few as Thailand (25 points). The team also led 12-8 in blocking, leading the team. Middle blockers Lee Ju-ah and Lee Da-hyun, who formed the Twin Towers, collaborated with each other to score 19 points.

In Thailand, Wipawi Sitong, who plays for Hyundai Engineering & Construction this season following last season, scored 15 points (2nd in the team), and Ponpoon, who played for IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, scored four points as the main setter, but it was not enough.

With three points, Korea ranked 14th out of 16 countries, ahead of Thailand and Bulgaria. According to VNL's official website, Korea's world ranking also rose six notches from 43rd to 37th. Thailand's world ranking fell to 14th, further moving its dream to advance to the finals of the Paris Olympics.

Lee Da-hyun said in an interview with VNL, "It took me three years to achieve this victory. It is an honor to win against a strong opponent," adding, "Thailand is a team similar to ours physically, so I thought it was a game that we could win, and I really wanted to win. This victory gives us a lot of confidence, and I hope we can do better than the last two years."
