Record participation in Beach Volleyball in Barranquilla

 

BARRANQUILLA. July 27, 2018.- With a historic participation of 26 countries will begin this Saturday 28 the Beach Volleyball Tournament of the XXIII Central American and Caribbean Beach Volleyball Games.

 

In a setting with quality to host the World Tour, according to the President of NORCECA, Cristóbal Marte, the Puerta de Oro Events Center will be active from 9:00 a.m. with games in four courts, where the 22 couples that will compete in both men and women are distributed.

 

"There are 26 countries, since some come in men and not women, or on the contrary ... that's a historical record," said Marte.

 

At the General Technical Meeting, Marte Hoffiz stressed the momentum that beach volleyball has taken in the region and the high level achieved. He also thanked the Organizing Committee for the effort to have a first level scenario.

 

Carlos Gómez, Delegate from the Organizing Committee requested a minute of silence for the death of the President of the Colombian Volleyball Federation, Carlos Grisales, a few weeks ago.

 

"Barranquilla is receiving them with open arms. They are in the best scenario they have seen in Colombia and our thanks to NORCECA, Cristobal and their working group for all the support to make this possible”, said Gómez.

 

Edward Drakich, Competition Director of NORCECA, pointed out that "there will be four groups of four couples, and two groups of three couples, which total 22 pairs in each gender. The first two of each group will advance to the definition of posts from 1 to 12, while the others will compete places from 13 to 22. "
