Beach Volleyball 2022 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • 2 months later...

The new 'Beach Pro Tour' started last week. The new world cup system replaces the old 1-4 start tournaments with all new Future, Challenge and Elite level tournaments. In other words, not much has changed but you now have to pay to watch the streams...:facepalm:

 

I don't think many people on the forum follow beach volleyball. I'll try to keep track of some of the results here.

 

:MEX Tlaxcala, Mexico Challenge tournament

 

Women:

1. :BRA Barbara/Carol

2. :NED Stam/Schoon

3. :BRA Elize Maia/Thamela

 

Men:

1. :POL Bryl/Losiak

2. :CHI Aravena/Droguett

3. :LAT Samoilovs/Smedins

 

The Chilean pair is a big surprise to me, never heard of them before. Also really glad to see the Dutch pair Stam/Schoon continue their good form from last year, which was their breakout year.

 

There was some big names missing this round still, who we might see again next week in the :MEX Rosarito, Mexico Elite tournament.

At least not in such a way that I'd pay for streams, I wonder how many people would actually do that in a relatively fringe sport like beach volleyball :d

:MEX Rosarito, Mexico Elite Tournament

 

Women:

1. :NED Stam/Schoon

2. :LAT Kravcenoka/Graudina

3. :BRA Talita/Rebecca

 

Men:

1. :QAT Cherif/Ahmed

2. :NED Brouwer/Meeuwsen

3. :NOR Mol/Sorum

 

Incredible result for the Dutch pair Stam/Schoon, I believe this is their first world tour win! Their bracket wasn't easy either, they beat Olympic silver medalists :AUS Clancy/Mariafe in pool phase and the arguably best :BRA pair Duda/Ana Patricia in quarterfinals. Hopefully this is their definitive breakthrough as an 'elite' pair.

Good result by the veteran pair Brouwer/Meeuwsen as well. They're 32 and 34 by now and still competing in the absolute top of the field.

 

Next stop: :BRA Itapema, Brazil Challenge Tournament 14-17 april

Hometown favorites :QAT Cherif/Ahmed got knocked out surprisingly in the ro16 by qualifiers :CHI Grimalt/Grimalt. Also the first Beach Pro Tour without :NED Stam/Schoon medaling, after getting knocked out in the QF by :SUI Hüberli/Brunner.

:TUR Kusadasi, Turkey Challenge Tournament

 

Women:

1. :USA Kloth/Nuss

2. :AUS Clancy/Mariafe

3. :USA Cannon/Sponcil

 

Men:

1. :SWE Ahman/Hellvig

2. :AUS McHugh/Burnett

3. :GER Wickler/Ehlers

 

Very limited field this week compared to other challenge tournaments, most teams are likely preparing for the two elite tournaments coming up the next weeks. Still a very impressive win by the young :SWE Ahman/Hellvig, their first senior win after previously taking silver in the 2018 YOG and gold the U21 world championship.

 

Next stop: :CZE Ostrava, Czech Republic 25-29 May

Feels like whenever :NED Stam/Schoon get knocked out in quarters, it's by one of the Swiss teams.

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
    • This video is just about the poic "Russia-Ukraine Crisis Consequences in Sports"    
    • got the gold medal for the 2nd time as the best biological oil of olive   
    • and if Russia decreases the price of Gas , europe will forget ukraine ...it all about money
    • alcohol during christmass  has been banned by the european parliament in  Brussels this year 
    • Russian athletes have  nothing to do in politic , ...if you support  justice  ,why don't you ban Satanyahu from sport too ?  , they even use doping without any control 
    • Team Slovakia   Goaltenders:   Leonardo Roberto Henriquez (Green Bay Gamblers, )  Alan Lenďák (Fargo Force, )  Michal Prádel (Tri City Storm, )    Defencers:   Adam Beluško (Green Bay Gamblers, )  Michal Čapoš (Wenatchee Wild, )  Andrej Fabuš (HC Slovan Bratislava) Adam Goljer (HK Dukla Trenčín) Adam Kalman (HC Nové Zámky) Filip Kovalčík (Drummondville Voltiguers, )  Matúš Lisý (Red Deer Rebels, )  Luka Radivojevič (Boston College, )          Forwards:   Jakub Dubravík (Vlci Žilina - Juniors) Alex Gašo (Mountfield HK, ) Ján Chovan (Sudbury Wolves, )  Tomáš Chrenko (HK Nitra) Michal Liščinský (HC Košice) Alex Mišiak (Erie Otters, )  Samuel Murín (Tri City Storm, )  Adam Nemec (HK Nitra) Tobias Pitka (Northern Michigan University, )  Tomáš Pobežal (Kingston Frontenacs, )  Andreas Straka (Quebec Remparts, )  Michal Svrček (Brynäs IF Gävle, )  Tobias Tomík (Vancouver Giants, )  Lukáš Tomka (HC’05 Banská Bystrica)
    • Slovakia pulled the goalie out in the Overtime and played 4 vs 3  for more than 2 minutes    We suddeenly pulled out goalie and have control of the puck for like 2 minutes in the first 2 minutes of the overtime but without soring than lost the puck and give up a 2 on 0 breakaway empty net goal for the czechs    Interesting strategy 
    • The doomongering made what I post on here seem positive. Everything possible to go wrong was predicted fo go wrong.
