Road to the World Championship. USA won Ljubljana Volleyball Challenge, and the others.

Full loot for the United States in the Ljubljana Volleyball Challenge: after Iran and Canada, victory also against Slovenia’s hosts 3-1 (25,22 25,23 24,26 25,21), after a match that reiterated what was already known: Usa have a team of great value that can point to the podium, and Slovenia may be the loose cannon of the World Championship. In the last match another defeat for Iran, which lost 3-2 against Canada.
