Last edition’s champions Poland needed a five-setter to overcome Canada 3-2 (15-25, 25-23, 28-26, 23-25, 15-12) and claim the 11th position in the tournament. Filip Grygiel, who came off the bench to score 18 points, upstaged an offence driven Canadian side, which had five players producing double-digit outputs. In the end, Poland’s attention to the small details and edge in attacks led to their victory.
