Beachvolleyball Worldchampionships 2015 - a brazilian story

After a very short week, the 2015 Beachvolleyball Championships of the Netherlands are almost finished yet, and the last balls are played in Rotterdam designing the new Beachvolleyball Worldchampions.

As traditionally, the brazilian teams were very strong with 3 of the four best teams in the women's category and even finishing with 3 teams on the podium. What a domination !! 
The men's category, was a little bit more equilibrated with "only" 2 of the best 4 teams, but both teams also finishing on the podium. In both categories, Brazil finally made 5 of 6 possible podium finishes. UNBELIEVABLE and never seen before !!

As 2014 saw the reunion of the legendary team Ricardo-Emanuel, ranking 1-2 in almost every FIVB World Tour category, all beachvolleyball enthousiasts were very excited to see if the two "oldies" could still do it. After a 2011 and 2013 world championship with the two partners not playing together but finishing very strong (Championship title for Emanuel in 2011 in Rome and 2nd place for Ricardo in 2013), everyone was excited to see if they could still perform on this

Start of the World Championships 2015

Hi all you beach fanatics out there,
after a very long time (quite one year and a half) that I didn't manage to update this blog (and to play beachvolleyball), I hope that it is not too late to get it going again, to inform the small beachvolley community in Luxembourg and in the greater region.
2014 was a tough year, with some injury problems and resulting of this, a very long period of total inactivity. Then, 2014, as well as 2015, were marked by some very important personal and family affairs, as well on Vanessa's side than on mine, and so the Lucertola Beach Team is still for the moment in complete inactivity. But, as we are still young (more or less), we hope and plan to be back seriously on the courts in 2016, letting us the 2015 summer and the following winter to get back in shape before attacking the mikasa on the sand.
So, I told myself, that it would be a nice idea to first start my blogging activity once again and today, 26th of June seems to be a very good day, as today the 2015 Beachvolleyball World Championship will start in the Netherlands !!
I put a link to the official site for an easy access, to help you a little bit to follow
