Experienced Austrian beach volleyballers Robin Seidl & Alexander Huber announced their reunion for a second period together. The pair’s first period lasted from 2009 to 2016 and peaked with their appearance at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
“We've made a full circle. Huber & Seidl's comeback is intended to be a positive conclusion to the career of the most successful Carinthian beach team of all time,” 39-year-old Xandi Huber said in a press release. “I felt like something was still open. For me, it's a last dance, a final chance to reach the top of the world. I want to give it my all again. I'm really excited to test what I and we as a team are capable of. Robin is absolutely world-class, one of the best blockers in the world, who has always been at the top in recent years. For me, it was a huge opportunity, when such a strong player came knocking. I couldn't say no.”
