Jinzha 150 Posted March 21 #2 Share Posted March 21 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... I don't think many people on the forum follow beach volleyball. I'll try to keep track of some of the results here. Tlaxcala, Mexico Challenge tournament Women: 1. Barbara/Carol 2. Stam/Schoon 3. Elize Maia/Thamela Men: 1. Bryl/Losiak 2. Aravena/Droguett 3. 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 Rosarito, Mexico Elite tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinzha 150 Posted March 28 #4 Share Posted March 28 Rosarito, Mexico Elite Tournament Women: 1. Stam/Schoon 2. Kravcenoka/Graudina 3. Talita/Rebecca Men: 1. Cherif/Ahmed 2. Brouwer/Meeuwsen 3. 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 Clancy/Mariafe in pool phase and the arguably best 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.
