finally! our lucky venue brought us a new gold in the top tier world tour, the first one after 2016 (in Sochi, thanks to Nicolai & Lupo in their magic season when they also won the Olympic Silver medal in Rio)...

:SUI Gstaad, Suisse Elite tournament

Men:

1. :CHI Grimalt/Grimalt

2. :CZE Perusic/Schweiner

3. :NED Varenhorst/Van de Velde

 

Another impressive result by the Chilean cousins, they've stood out to me in the results for a while now. They might be medal contenders in 2024, which I doubt Chile has many. Meanwhile on the womens side Duda/Ana Patricia is finally living up to their potential.

I got a little behind on the beach volleyball tournaments:

 

:POR Espinho, Portugal Challenge tournament (14-17 July)

 

Women:

1. :AUS Clancy/Mariafe

2. :USA Quiggle/Schermerhorn

3. :BRA Andressa/Vitoria

 

Men:

1. :POL Bryl/Losiak

2. :AUT Ermacora/Pristauz

3. :LAT Samoilovs/Smedins

 

:MAR Agadir, Morocco Challenge tournament (21-24 July)

 

Women:

1. :NED Piersma/Van Driel

2. :CZE Hermannova/Stochlova

3. :ITA Menegatti/Gottardi

 

Men:

1. :NED Immers/Boermans

2. :NOR Berntzen/Mol

3. :SUI Krattiger/Beer

 

 

Both tournaments had fairly weak fields, mostly the Moroccon one. Next Beach Pro Tour event is the :GER Hamburg, Germany Elite tournament (10-14 August). The pro tour (something like world cups) keep going all the way into november with trips to South Africa, Brazil and Australia still coming up.

 

Currently ongoing is a European 'Nations cup' where two teams per country face off against each other, sort of like the Olympic qualification tournaments.

A1 CEV Nations Cup 2022

 

Women:

1. :SUI Switzerland

2. :GER Germany

3. :LAT Latvia

 

Men:

1. :NOR Norway

2. :ITA Italy

3. :NED Netherlands
 

This nations cup is another new tournament format, but most nations did send their strongest teams. Although on the Dutch womens team Stam/Schoon chose to play national tournaments at home instead. With them present our womens team should've been a medal contender as well.

Disappointing end to the European Championships for Paulikienė and Kliokmanaitė with two 2:1 defeats.

 

I'm hoping that Dumbauskaitė and Grudzinskaitė can survive later today, since they took a set off of world nr. 2 yesterday.

After having a close fight against world nr. 2, Dumbauskaitė and Grudzinskaitė barely held on and managed to beat a much weaker Ukranian pair.

 

Top 24 secured, but I think that's the end of it for us in these championships.

:FRA Paris, France Elite 16 tournament

 

Women:

1. :NED Stam/Schoon

Men:

Happy to see Stam/Schoon take another tournament with some convincing wins on their way! And it's crazy to see Brouwer/Meeuwsen are still among the best teams after all these years.

:MDV Maldives Challenge tournament

 

Women:

1. :FIN Lahti/Ahtiainen

2. :AUT Schützenhöfer/Plesiutschnig

3. :FIN Parkkinen/Sinisalo

 

Men:

1. :QAT Cherif/Ahmed

2. :USA Field/Budinger

3. :SWE Ahman/Hellvig

 

The Beach Pro Tour continues pretty much all year, with various tournaments on the southern hemisphere (and in desert climates like Dubai and Cairo) now that summer has ended for most of us. They have also announced a Finals tournament 26-29 January in Doha, Qatar. I wonder what the athletes think of this year-round schedule of tournaments literally all over the world.

 

Either way, the field for this particular challenge tournament wasn't very strong and I doubt we'll see many top contenders in the next two tournaments in Dubai either.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
