TOP 20 Craziest Saves in Women's Volleyball History !!!

12 players available for this one for coach Kaj Kirae. Boggy's not playing. Pulsar and Plummer have gone back to the stakes already. Good slide. Another free ball chance. True's brings it, but did that come off the block? They're saying no, they're playing on. It's still in play! Oh my goodness! I say, this is just crazy! Koga! You've got to be kidding! And it didn't catch the block. But look at that, they just played on, played to the whistle. And they've won the point. An amazing point this week of the VNL. What a swing. From Oshbai, that went in too. Lukasik with the pass. She's going to tip to the middle. And Urge's there. Karakurt, off the hands. Great touch. Oh, keep it alive, yes! What a return! But you can't do it again. Vargas reloads. And that's a break point for Turkey. That's a big point for Turkey right there to now go up two in this set. Down two at one point earlier. Oh, what a save. And the pokey will do it! What a point for France! Just keep going. Keep the ball alive. Play the whistle. A touch. Good early open up from Kazut. Oh, such a lovely play. And Gillian not just helping on reception, helping out on defense. Lovely push into the deep corner. France with the lead. Erdem serving. Plummer gets under it. And now she can go make it right. This is what Melissa Vargas is incredible for. She hits. But her defense, her passing, her way to make the ball better. Final play. We're sitting up here already calling that ball down. Bam! Vargas comes out of nowhere. I hope she's all right after that one. And landing up in the LED board. But her team... Hit the ball right off the block out. There is a push. There is a swing. And there is a block and a return! Oh my! Degrani! Off the back side! And Szilag kills it! That is a brilliant point by Italy. They just have not given up. Well, it was a great swing. But watch this. I'm not sure Favre was completely aware the ball was coming away. How high Eganu gets up. That block much shorter in front of her. Oro stays on it down the line at Ishikawa. Hit with a feather. It's still over. Here's a free ball. Running it out. Another free ball to Japan. What offense will they run? Tom Koga from the back. Getting a ball up with those Libros. Any time that you think that ball is down. Somehow Japan finds a way to scoop under it. Italy has to match that in the backcourt. And try to outlast them defensively. So with that, Irie leaves the court. We've got a one point game. Koga opts for the tip. Over on the first ball. Helped over. Now a chance to level. A good swing and a good touch by Iwasaki. Koga from the three. Takes the heat off it. Oh, what a touch. Fukudome chases. Koga backcourt. Somehow doesn't take the net out. Oh, again. Outstanding. And Koga kills it. Ishikawa backcourt. Japan lead by two. And look at the reaction from these guys. Such a sigh of relief on Japan's side. Because that defense has been absolutely outstanding. Ishikawa taking complete control back there. To keep that ball alive. What a chase. Sacrificing your body back there. Throwing it all over. Clearly the official thought that was the case. Vargas. Forces the overpass. Oh, the touch. Brilliant. Incredible. And again. Poland's defense at the start of this third set is off the charts. But they need to finish it. And they haven't. Over on the second ball again. Ridiculous. Lukaszik's missed. Szyglowska. What has she had in between sets? Give me a cup of that. Absolutely insane. Nothing is hitting the floor on Poland's side. She is everywhere. Well, the frustrating thing for Poland is they're defending so... Back in. Picked up. Really nice pancake. And put away. Rewarding the defense with offense. Defense turning into offense. Incredible pancake and awareness to get that hand right under. Great look at it. Martha coming flying out of nowhere. Tapia. Just an incredible job stepping in for this team and doing it against a big block. Yeah, Tapia is making her mark, isn't she? Stiszak, cross court, out of system. Having to be tracked. Kept back in. Stiszak comes all the way back. Great blocking by the Dominican Republic. And some effort by Poland. And that's the thing about Poland. We talk about their physicality so much and how big they are up front. But their defense is second to none. They make plays that are so impressive. Just when you think that ball is down, they find a way under it. 1-0. Shikawa, flat ball in. Gets it back herself. Ijen chasing that ball down the line. Oh, well. Not only did she generate the power, almost a standing jump, but she managed to get that angle down the line. A little two-step approach from Peña, but sometimes when a team is out of system and the second ball is that high... Might do it again. It's a nice take in the end. Good confident pass. No touch. Oh, angles that back in. Great pick up. What a save that is. Gerland stayed underneath the net. And now the block. Is it a point for France? It is. Well, mental and physical toughness there from France. Francine in the play all the way. From the defense, the coverage, and then the offense. A little surprise Japan didn't get that. Royalty, Koges, to the Japanese. Zila. Good swing. I don't know how that ball comes up and then poked down. Are you kidding me? You're watching one of the best Leros in the world. Fukudome. Just incredible, the reaction time to get that ball up and nearly perfect. So the center can run it outside. Amazing. Eight service errors for Brazil in this match. Maria this time picked up. Great pick up. And on to Christina. Looking for the center of Thailand's defense. You gotta swing big. Gabby. She's got a free ball. You can't let Thailand have another chance. And they go. That's that relentless Thailand defense. Outlasting Brazil. Finding ways to transition these plays. They're just hanging in it. Nice touch. So is that. Oh, Hancock. Magnificent. Now get back to position. Japan come again. Ishikawa. Oh, Larson. All three of the back row players have made incredible digs. That Kojima's getting it on the axe. A-1 Arantes. My goodness me. I'm running out of words. Skinner's all over it. The USA take the point. No, they do. Oh, they do. Yes, they do. Oh, they do. And now the referee. Stop it, referee. Important point that for Japan. Koga. Sort of a break point. Nife Fan again doing hard work. Good swing. Koga's there. Back court. Ishikawa blocked. Hayashi on hand. Another tip and another chance. For China. Koga defending so well. Ishikawa. Blocked again. This China block. And now the opportunity. Hinyu Yong. Again it's Koga. Who's going to put this down? Ishikawa. China claiming that touch the antenna. Referee says no. But off the hands. And Zhong Chongying wins the rally of the match so far. China's defense has just been so impressive. Getting incredible touches up front. And they're transitioning that into beautiful offense.
