Sanya welcome Women’s FIVB Beach
Volleyball SWATCH World
Tour Stop |
|
Sanya is once again at the beginning of the
calendar in 2012, welcoming players from April 24-29. Renowned
for its tropical climate, the women's event is the first
single-gender stage on the tour and will be held at the Sanya Bay
Resort. The first of five tournaments set to take place in China
this year, the tour will also feature two double-gender events in
the country, firstly in Shanghai for the ninth year in a row and then in Beijing.
Home duo Chen Xue and Xi Zhang could not follow up on their 2010 victory
as Larissa França and Juliana Felisberta Da Silva took gold. Maria
Antonellie and Talita Antunes made it two Brazilian teams on the
podium after they beat two-time Olympic champions Misty May-Treanor
and Kerri Walsh. |
