Poland #1
Brazil's three year winning streak as world champions of volleyball came to an end this weekend as Poland emerged triumphant taking 3 out of 4 sets in the finals of the 2014 Men's World Championships on Sunday.
It was Poland's seventh consecutive win in the tournament where they compiled an 11-1 win-loss record, while Brazil failed in their attempt to be the first nation to win four consecutive crowns.
Brazil suffered only two losses during the entire competition both at the hands of Poland with the previous one during the third round. Poland's only loss in the event came in the second round against the United States.
It was the second gold medal for Poland in the history of the event which was inaugurated in 1949, with the previous championship clinched forty years ago when the competition took place in Mexico in 1974.
