Josh 4,926 Posted October 21, 2022 #22 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Something I DEFINITELY did not expect. Brandie/MHP would obviously be the best chance at a medal for Team Canada, but with how her and Sophie were doing this season I’m kind of shocked.

Josh 4,926 Posted December 3, 2022 #23 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Torquay Elite16 Medal Matches On the men’s side, Italy’s Carambula/Rangheri🇮🇹 defeat Lotman/Evans🇺🇸 in straight sets (21-15, 2-16) to win the bronze medal at the final Elite16 event of the season in Torquay, Australia. 8 monster blocks for Rangheri, an insane match stat for you. In the gold medal match, Frances’s Krou/Gautier Rat 🇫🇷 defeat home-crowd favorite Australia‘s Hodges/Schubert🇦🇺 (22-20, 23-21). Krou/Gauthier Rat would be firm favorites for the France beach volleyball Olympic quota should they keep their form (A bit of a suprise to see the Australian team make it this far, but then again most teams ended their season early to focus on the next season, big Olympic qualification period coming up) Meanwhile on the women’s side, Clancy/Mariafe 🇦🇺 delight the home crowd coming back from down a set to defeat American rising stars Kloth/Nuss 🇺🇸 in three sets (14-21, 21-19, 15-13), with both teams aiming to qualify for the 2024 Olympics. Taliqua Clancy led all scorers with 27 points. In the gold medal match, Americans Hughes/Cheng 🇺🇸 defeat another American duo Scoles/Flint 🇺🇸 (21-17, 21-11) to continue their insane run of form, winning three tournaments in a row without dropping a single set (AVP Huntington Beach, FIVB Torquay Challenge, FIVB Torquay Elite16) Edited December 3, 2022 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
