An outcry on social media has centered around a preliminary match with Chinese women's volleyball players facing Iran at the Asian Volleyball Confederation Cup for Women at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig, Philippines, on Thursday. But, the upset wasn't about the game. It was about the N95 masks
China's Volleyball Association issues an apology after the match, according to the BBC, blaming the decision to have the players wear N-95 masks on"lack of experience." As the South China Morning Post reported, the Chinese players lost their first set against Iran, but won the next three after taking off the masks, completing a 3-1 victory.
“The next three games in a row, China won. Therefore, we should not wear it in the next competition. Not only will players not be able to exert their full strength, but it will also affect the cardiopulmonary function of the athletes,” the user said.
