China, using all of their big guns, including Yu Yuantai, Zhang Jingyin, Peng Shikun, and Zhang Zhejia finished the 2022 AVC Cup undefeated with a score of 7-0!
As for Japan, who came to the event without 14 players selected for the 2022 FIVB World Championship roster, it was their first-ever appearance in the final.
In the battle for third place, the debutants in the AVC Cup, Bahrain, beat South Korea 3-0 (25:23, 27:25, 32-“:30) to win the bronze medal.
