The medal is the second in six Olympics for the U.S., who won gold in 2008. The Americans medaled in three-straight Games between 1984-1992 (two gold, one silver).
The Russians were ready to go from the first hit, and rang up 25-23 and 25-21 wins in the first two sets.
Halfway through the match, Russia had double the amount of blocks compared the Americans.
Given the up-and-down nature of the tournament, perhaps it was fitting that Team USA rallied to take the third set 25-19 and built a fourth-set lead that lasted for the same final score.
