THE HAGUE, the Netherlands, July 6, 2015 – The Hague turned
orange on Sunday evening for Reinder Nummerdor and Christian
Varenhorst, but it was the green and gold of Brazil that
eventually came out on top in the FIVB Beach Volleyball World
Championship men’s final as Alison Cerutti and Bruno Oscar
Schmidt sealed a thrilling 12-21, 21-14, 22-20 win over the home
heroes.
It was the first time the two teams had met, and Alison/Bruno
had to overcome some vocal home support to claim Alison’s second
and Bruno’s maiden title.
Brazilian Barbara Seixas and Agatha Bednarczuk carved their name
into FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championship folklore after
sealing the 2015 title with a 21-18, 21-19 of fellow compatriots
Taiana Lima and Fernanda Alves.
It was a first world title for the pair, with Barbara adding to
the bronze she won two years ago at the 2013 World Championship.
Evandro Goncalves delivered a serving clinic as he and Pedro
Solberg powered to Bronze with a 22-20, 21-13 victory over
Theodore Brunner and Nick Lucena at the FIVB Beach Volleyball
World Championship 2015 in The Hague.
Juliana Felisberta da Silva and Maria Antonelli ensured an
all-Brazilian women’s podium after they claimed a 23-25, 21-18,
15-9 win over Katrin Holtwick and Ilka Semmler in bronze medal
match. |
