Stavanger welcomes FIVB Beach Volleyball
Swatch World
Tour for 13th-straight season |
|
For the 13th-straight season, Norway will host the FIVB
Beach Volleyball Swatch World
Tour in Stavanger as the planet's best Beach Volleyball players return to the Vaagen Harbour
dockside courts from June 27-July 3. The 2011 stop in the "oil" capital of
Norway follows Stavanger's staging of the 2009 FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch World Championships
and a Grand Slam event in 2010. Last year's event saw
thousands of fans flock to the specially constructed court as they
witnessed Brazil's Juliana Felisberta Da Silva and Larissa França defeat compatriots
Maria Antonelli
and Talita Antunes in the women's final, with USA's Misty May-Treanor and
Nicole Branagh finishing third, and German outsiders David "Hase"
Klemperer and Eric Koreng beat home duo Tarjei Skarlund and Martin
Spinnangr while USA's Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers clinched
bronze. It was a dream win for Klemperer and Koreng as they saw off
eventual Tour champions Dalhausser and Rogers in the semifinals
after previously beating the top pairs Penggen Wu and Linyin Xu of China and Harley
Marques and Pedro Salgado of Brazil. With a population of over 121,000 Stavanger is
the third largest city in Norway and sits on the western coast of
the country on the North Sea. Below to the left are gold
medal-winners David Klemperer (left) and Eric Kloreng.
