One day after Chinese women upset the U.S. for their country's first FIVB gold medal since 2008, Chinese men upset the U.S. for their country's first-ever men's FIVB World Tour title.

The 13th seed at the FIVB Grand Slam in Moscow, Wu Penggen and Xu Linyin knocked off top-seeded Americans Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser in the gold-medal match Monday (21-17, 17-21, 17-15). It marks their first win over Rogers and Dalhausser in six tries, and their first victory in an FIVB final in seven attempts. Wu and Xu are the only Chinese men's team to ever win an FIVB medal.
