Double gender in Montréal
Montréal
2007
- The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour returns to the
French-speaking city for the
first of two double gender events in 2006 on the North American continent
(Mexico in October). Organized by Volleyball Canada, the event will be held at
the Uniprix Stadium for the third-straight season. With extensive facilities, Uniprix Stadium also stages major tennis tournaments. Canada is not new to
hosting major international Beach Volleyball events as the country hosted the
1999 Pan-American Games in Winnipeg along with a series of three SWATCH-FIVB
World tour stops in Toronto (1998-2000). Montréal’s 360 years of history have
left an indelible mark on the vibrant character of the city in Quebec province.
It’s been in turn a French settlement, a British stronghold, and today, the
world’s second-largest French-speaking city. Over the years, European flair has
blended with North American savoir-faire to create the story of Montréal: a rich
tradition, a mosaic of cultures, and a fierce passion for the future.

Men
- South American tandems have won the past six SWATCH-FIVB World Tour stops
in Canada starting with Martin Conde and Eduardo Martinez’s 1998 crown in
Toronto. Jose Loiola and Emanuel Rego captured the 1999 and 2000 Toronto gold
medals to start Brazil’s run of four-straight titles. Canada’s best finish was a
second in the 2000 Toronto event by Olympians John Child and Mark Heese.

Pan-American Games in Winnipeg where Adriana and Shelda captured the title. Toronto winners were Sandra Pires/Adriana Samuel of Brazil (1998), Holly McPeak/Nancy Reno of the United States (1999) and Adriana/Shelda (2000). Adriana Behar and Shelda Bede captured the PanAm title. The best finish by a
host country team in the previous five SWATCH stops in Canada was a seventh by
