PRESENTATION
Presentation
Roseto degli
Abruzzi stages an "open" men's SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event for the
second-straight season after the inaugural event featured an upset
title win by Switzerland's Patrick Heuscher and Stefan Kobel over
Emanuel Rego and Ricardo Santos of Brazil
14-21, 21-17 and 15-12.
The gold medal match was a replay of the Athens 2004 Olympic
semi-finals where the Brazilians bested Heuscher and Kobel. A renowned seaside resort, perfect for a relaxing holiday for
families, Roseto degli Abruzzi is located between the Tordino and Vomano rivers
and strikes the visitor with its fine, late 19th-century villas. A municipality
since 1860 and once named Rosburgo, Roseto degli Abruzzi is an established
tourist resort with 42 beach facilities, 37 hotels and 10 campsites. Brazilian
teams have captured six of the previous 12 SWATCH stops in Italy. Dio Lequaglie
and Giovanni Errichiello posted the best finish for an Italian team in the 12
events with a silver medal in 1989 at Jesi. It is one of two silver medal
finishes for Italians on the SWATCH tour. Roseto degli Abruzzi hosted a
2005 FIVB
Challenger event where the Brazilian brothers Ferreira (Jan and Para)
captured the final.
