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. "
