Tepic Elite16 | Tepic, Mexico 
 
Women’s Tournament
Gold-  Tanja Hüberli/Nina Brunner
Silver-  Katja Stam/Raïsa Schoon
@Jinzha
Bronze-  Barbara Seixas/Carol Salgado
 
First Elite16 gold for Hüberli/Brunner!
 
Men’s Tournament
Gold-  David Åhman/Jonatan Hellvig
Silver- André Stein/George Wanderley
Bronze-  Noslen Diaz/Jorge Alayo
 
With their gold today, Åhman/Hellvig have won the first two Elite16’s of the season! Right now the clear favourite for gold at Paris. Curious to see what Mol/Sørum can do in late May though, after Anders twisted his leg during training in Tenerife. 
 
Full Results
 
Up next, the  Xiamen Challenge from April 25-28!

Hüberli/Brunner win gold at the Tepic Elite16! 
 
Very emotional win for them, as it’s a first ever gold medal on the Beach Pro Tour! (and a first ever Elite16 gold medal for Switzerland)
