Two Swedish teams in semi finals  We have 2300 licensed players and not known for our beaches. 

Åhman/Hellvig apparently had 2 hours of practice together in the last months.

I just hope that Ahman/Hellvig don't do the same as they did at the Olympics and play poorly in the first round and face our best pair before the semifinals (assuming we beat this excellent German duo). 

Just as I predicted.

 

Damn it Ahman/Hellvig, why can't you play like the best and stop losing to bad teams in the first round?

I'm surprised by this second pair; their blocking quality is spectacular.

Well I wouldn't have been that surprised, but then you told me this. They're not human 

 

Holting Nilsson/Andersson have really came into their own this season.

Two teams in the women's semifinals.  It's a shame that Duda/Ana Patricia got injured; I wouldn't be surprised if we had three teams there (despite the dangerous American pair).

 

Melissa/Brandie were unlucky; I think they would have done better against Thamela/Victoria or the Latvian pair.

GOLD and SILVER to Sweden already before final. An all Swedish Gold medal game. So so impressed by our guys.

Medal matches are set! 
 

On the men’s side, it’s an all-Swedish final between Holting Nilsson/Andersson and Olympic champions Åhman/Hellvig, with  Rotar/Gauthier-Rat taking on Olympic silver medalists  Ehlers/Wickler for bronze. 
 

On the women’s side, it’s  Samoilova/Graudina vs  Nuss/Brasher for the title, both are in their first final, with an all-Brazilian bronze medal match between Carol/Rebecca and Thamela/Victoria
