 Mol/Sørum win bronze at the Gstaad Elite16, defeating  Nicolai/Cottafava in 3!  
 

 

28-26 in the 3rd set  

And of course, the signature Sørum backflip right after the match concluded

Gstaad Elite16 | Gstaad, Switzerland

 

Women’s Tournament

Gold-  Taryn Kloth/Kristen Nuss

Silver-  Terese Cannon/Megan Kraft

Bronze-  Anastasija Samoilova/Tina Graudina

 

 Humana-Parades/Wilkerson (Mel in particular) had such a bad tournament that I’m writing them off as an Olympic medal contender.

Gold-  David Åhman/Jonatan Hellvig

Silver-  Andre Stein/George Wanderley

Bronze-  Anders Mol/Christian Sørum

 

Full Results

 

Up next, the  Vienna Elite16 from July 10-14!

Elite 16 is back in action, as Hamburg hosts the current stop!  (first match ended just now)

 

Bit of a watered down field with the Olympics having just finished, but there’s still some quality teams.

Where would one go about watching this? Only FIVB's own pay channel?

 

Edit: apparently Viaplay has the rights here. We have that  

 

Although I see there's almost literally under 10 people in the stands...quite a different feeling than the beach volleyball of last week and the weeks before

Danke Laura Ludwig!
 

One of the all-time greats of beach volleyball, what a career she’s had. Olympic gold at Rio 2016, World Championships silver at Vienna 2017, various World Tour, Beach Pro Tour, and European Championships medals, and has revolutionized the game with creating plays like “the Ludwig”

 

Even though it’s her last international tournament, and her last with Lippmann, she still has one last tournament before she officially retires, as from September 5-8 she’ll be competing at the Queen & King of the Court with Katja Stam in Utrecht!

 

Edit: That’s wrong, she’s partnered up with Agatha at Queen & King of the Court in Miami!

17-12 1st set and already 4 aces for  Brunner 
 

The best women’s server in the world at the moment, she was brilliant at the Olympics too.
