CHINA vs TURKEY FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS (POOL B TOKYO OLYMPICS 2020)

Defending women's champions China were stunned in straight sets by Turkey in their Olympic volleyball Pool B opener on Sunday, going down 25-21 25-14 25-14 at the Ariake Arena.

China, who have won six Olympic medals in women's volleyball including three gold, were overpowered by the Turks for whom opposite hitter Ebrar Karakurt -- with her distinctive bright pink hair -- led the way with 18 points.

Three of her team mates finished in double figures while Turkey's defence also proved to be too good for China, with Hande Baladin and libero Simge Akoz making 13 successful digs to keep the ball in play.

The Chinese lacked cohesion throughout the encounter and coach Lang Ping made several substitutions to find the right combination while Turkey stuck with the same line-up for all three sets.
