In the third set, Japan fought to a 20-all tie, only to find China run off five of the next six points to make it two sets to one. It was tied at 19-all in the fourth set before China made a 4-1 run for a 23-20 cushion and Zhu Ting notched the match winner for China with a smash.

Sarina Koga was Japan's top scorer with 20 points and Miyu Nagaoka added 19. China outblocked Japan 11-3.

Serbia also clinched a ticket to the Rio Games after holding off a strong late surge from Argentina to finish second in the 12-team round robin tournament with a 10-1 record.
