France completed one of the best underdog stories of the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday by winning the men's volleyball gold medal.
France had not finished higher than eighth place in any of its four previous appearances at the Summer Olympics.
The gold-winning side busted out a two set lead over the Russian Olympic Committee before the match was forced into a fifth set. The first four sets in Olympic volleyball are played to 25. The final set is a race to 15 points.
France used the first of its two match points to finish off the Russians and capture the nation's first-ever gold and overall medal in men's volleyball.
