China Makes Women's Volleyball Final
The Chinese women's volleyball team has outlasted a tough Cuban squad, advancing to the final with a five-set semifinal victory at the Athens Olympic Games.

The victory put the Chinese into their first Olympic final berth in eight years since 1996, where they finished second behind
Cuba.

In Athens, China also recorded its sixth win with 25-22, 25-20, 17-25, 23-25 and 15-10 in the tournament, taking revenge from the 2-3 loss to Cuba in the preliminary round last Wednesday.

China will face Russia on Sunday to vie for the Olympic gold medal after the latter defeated Brazil with a tremendous 3-2 turnaround.
