Even if the weather is really good for beachvolleyball only for two, three days now, two events made the new beachvolley season 2013 start for real.
First, the 2013 GSSE in Luxembourg the last week of may, saw the luxemburgish teams get a nice 4th place at the men's competition with a lot of fighting spirit from Ben and Djamel, despite their great lack of experience and a really wonderful silver medal for the ladies, Anne Grethen and Norma Zambon, for their apparently last tournament of their carreer, despite big injury worries for Anne after the semi-final and a very strong opponent from Cyprus, in the game for gold. Will there be a life without beachvolleyball for Anne and Norma? It's hard to believe!
Then, just one day after this great sporty event for Luxembourg, with a lot of enthousiastic spectators at almost every competition, making a big sport party out of these 2013 GSSE, the first tournament organized by a luxemburgish club took place last sunday in Walferdange with the first 2x2 men and women tournament.
And the good weather finally appeared on this first tournament of the season - just in time - even if a very strong and cold wind made the playing conditions very difficult for the teams, as most of the teams did not find the training conditions they expected the last two months.
But with sun shining now for good and temperatures above 20 degrees, season can now really start, and I wish nice weather conditions to all tournament organizers, for the next three months.
With the weeks passing by, the tournament calendar got also an update with some more tournaments added in near germany.
So enjoy the next weeks - the lucertola beach team definitely will do so with their first tournament this saturday in Beckerich.
Have a nice 2013 season :-)
