Tadeas Trousil & Matyas Dzavoronok decorated their pair’s Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour debut with gold. The 23-year-old Czechs topped the podium at the Madrid Futures in Spain, accompanied by silver medalists Nils Ringoen & Even Aas of Norway and bronze medalists Alejandro Huerta & Javier Huerta of Spain on the podium.
After losing their second match in Madrid, Trousil & Dzavoronok finished second in their pool and had to take the detour route in the playoffs. The 10th-seeded Czechs went on a victorious run of four knockout matches in a row to claim the trophy. In the semifinals, they delivered a 2-0 (21-15, 21-17) upset of the top-seeded home favorites Huerta brothers and, in Sunday’s final, they mastered a 2-0 (21-11, 21-19) victory over Ringoen & Aas. While both Czech athletes had previously medaled on the Beach Pro Tour with other partners, only Dzavoronok had once managed to get gold, at the Ios Futures back in 2022.
