European teams have laid the groundwork for another Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour men’s podium filled entirely by teams from the continent at this week’s Uberlândia Elite16 with impressive victories in the elimination rounds in Brazil on Saturday.
The event held at the Praia Clube will see a pair of all-European semifinals on Sunday, with Czechia’s Ondrej Perusic/David Schweiner battling Poland’s Michal Bryl/Bartosz Łosiak at 10:00 local time (13:00 UTC) and Norway’s Anders Mol/Christian Sørum facing the Netherlands’ Steven van de Velde/Matthew Immers one hour later. The Doha and Tepic Elite16 events also had four European teams in the semifinals.
