Unbeaten Italy shut out Russia on Sunday and were crowned 2021 FIVB Volleyball Men's U21 World Champions. In the match for gold, which was a re-match of the 2020 CEV U20 European Championship and of the 2019 FIVB U19 World Championship finals, the Italians did not leave any chances to their opponents, beating them in three sets. Michieletto & Co confirmed the Italian domination of the tournament, repeating the success of the U20 women, who earlier this year were also crowned champions of the world. Earlier on Sunday, Poland left no doubts over who was better in the bronze medal match against Argentina and claimed a straight-set victory.
