The Bulgarian men's volleyball team has continued undefeated at the 2012 London Summer Olympics, after beating Australia 3:0 sets.
The Australian team made a serious game with strong resistance to the Bulgarians, but went to lose all sets (25:23, 25:21, 25:22).
The Bulgarians were even well behind in the second and third sets, but went on to reverse the game.
Among the best players on the team were Nikolay Nikolov, Vitkor Yosifov, and Vladimir Nikolov.
Bulgaria is the only undefeated team in London 2012's men's volleyball Group A, after defeating hosts Great Britain 3:0 and favorites Poland 3:1.
The results this far ensure that the Bulgarian team will qualify for the tournament's quarterfinals.
The Bulgarians' remaining games in the pool are with Argentina on Saturday and Italy on Monday.
