Brazil made up for defeats in the last two Olympic men's volleyball finals and gave the home crowd a gold medal to celebrate as they beat Italy for gold on the closing day of the Games.
The home side won 3-0 in a raucous atmosphere to secure Brazil's seventh gold medal in Rio
Brazil football hero Neymar was at the Maracanazinho arena to watch the final, 24 hours after his team won gold.
The USA earlier came back from two sets down to beat Russia 3-2 and win bronze.
Brazil's victory made amends for 2012, when they lost to Russia after missing two match points.
