Amburgo & Mondiali 2019/ ORO Krasilnikov -Stoyanovskiy (5° Lupo-Nicolai e Carambula -Rossi) e Pavan–Melissa (5° Menegatti-OrsiT)
Triplo quinto posto per le coppie azzurre impegnati ai Mondiali di Amburgo 2019.
Risultati più che soddisfacenti anche in ottica Olimpiadi , per il punteggio acquisito e pe l’autostima. In particolare il quinto posto della coppi Marta Menegatti – Viktoria Orsi Toth diventa ottimo se pensiamo che nei ‘quarti’ sono state eliminate dalla coppia poi medaglia d’oro, cioè le canadesi Pavan-Melisa.
Anche per questo , oltre che per il ‘valore’ dell’evento ‘Amburgo World Champions 2019” , vi proponiamo in sequenza l’andamento finale delle coppie azzurre arrivate fino ai quarti, come da dati ufficiali Fedevolley.it ovviamente orgogliosa anche del 5° posto conquistato dalle coppie maschili Lupo –Nicolai e Rossi-Carambula.

PRIMA NEWS ( by www.federvolley.it , 06/07/2019 ) / Campionati Mondiali: Lupo-Nicolai si fermano ai quarti di finale
Si ferma ai quarti di finale il percorso di Daniele Lupo e Paolo Nicolai nei Campionati Mondiali di Amburgo. I vicecampioni olimpici, infatti, hanno dovuto cedere contro i norvegesi Mol-Sorum 2-0 (21-13, 21-11), al termine di un match nel quale gli scandinavi si sono dimostrati complessivamente superiori.
Proprio come per Menegatti-Orsi Toth, si chiude dunque con un quinto posto l’avventura dei due azzurri in questa rassegna iridata, che nel complesso deve assolutamente considerarsi positiva. Prima di questa edizione, infatti, non era mai successo che una coppia maschile arrivasse ai quarti finale di un Campionato Mondiale e tutto al più che tre coppie azzurre arrivassero fino a questo punto. Risultati che dimostrano quanto di buono fatto e lasciano ben sperare per i futuri appuntamenti, nel quale l’Italia sarà protagonista a partire già da settembre con le Fivb Roma Finals in programma al Foro Italico.
Alle 11.45 Rossi-Carambula proveranno a proseguire il proprio cammino contro i russi Stoyanovskiy Krasilnikov.

SECONDA NEWS ( by www.federvolley.it, 06/07/2019 ) / Campionati Mondiali: quinto posto anche per Rossi-Carambula
Si conclude con un quinto posto anche la corsa di Enrico Rossi e Adrian Carambula, che hanno dovuto cedere nei quarti di finale contro la coppia russa Stoyanovskiy-Krasilnikov 2-0 (21-16, 21-16). I due atleti tricolore, hanno probabilmente rappresentato la sorpresa di questa rassegna iridata: inseriti in extremis nel tabellone principale sono stati in grado di staccare il pass per la fase ad eliminazione diretta da secondi nel girone. Poi il dubbio sulle condizioni fisiche di Adrian Carambula dopo lo stiramento occorso nell’ultima gara della pool poteva far terminare il percorso della coppia italiana prima dei sedicesimi, dove invece hanno superato, divertendosi, gli svizzeri Heidrich-Gerson. La battuta d’arresto, poi, è arrivata solo nei quarti di finale contro una delle coppie più accreditate già alla vigilia.
Si conclude dunque con tre quinti posti la rassegna iridata per l’Italia, che può tornare a casa consapevole di aver disputato davvero un ottimo Mondiale.

TERZA NEWS FINALI MASCHILI ( by www.fivb.org, 07/07/2019 ) / THE WINNER IS…/ Beach volleyball / Krasilnikov finally a world champion (with Oleg Stoyanovskiy ) /
Russian Viacheslav Krasilnikov "finally" captures a FIVB World Championship gold medal.
Hamburg, Germany, July 7, 2019 - Two years ago, Viacheslav Krasilnikov sat silently next to partner Nikita Liamin after the Russian duo finished third in the FIVB World Championships.
Krasilnikov and Oleg Stoyanovskiy now have a World Championship to celebrate after they overcame Julius Thole and Clemens Wickler plus a partisan German crowd estimated at 12,000 for a 2-0 (19-21, 21-17, 15-11) victory to claim the gold medal at the US$1-million FIVB World Beach Championships presented by comdirect and ALDI Nord.
“It’s very amazing for him because he was upset after last World Championships in Vienna after the semifinal,” said Stoyanovskiy, the youngest World Champion at 22 years, 9 months and 11 days. “This is an achievement for him.”
The rewards started piling up for the Russians. Foremost, the victory qualified a spot for Russia in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. They took home US$60,000, and an additional 1,600 points in the Olympic qualification process for the team that entered the tournament ranked third in the world.
They played like the best throughout the tournament, winning all eight of their matches in the 10-day event. They won 16 of the 18 sets in which they played.
“No words needed,” Stoyanovskiy said. “It’s incredible, I can’t describe my feelings. I won a major many years ago, but I am here. That’s what I worked for many years.”
Noisy, packed crowds followed the young Germans throughout the event. Thole, 22, and Wickler, 24, also entered the final with a 7-0 record in the tournament had had the house roaring after taking the first set.
Then they had to deal with the steely Russians, who accepted the pressure and came through.
“I was sure we could do it,” Krasilnikov said. “I have trust with my partner, so I was calm.”
The Germans had an 8-7 lead in the third set, but Wickler served out and Stoyanovskiy served an ace. The Russians never trailed again.
“The Russians served today on a really high level,” Thole said. “During the whole three sets, they did a lot of mistakes, especially in the first set, but when they hit it in the court, they always did great serves and that was the biggest difference for us.”
A year ago, in Hamburg at the World Tour Finals, the German duo flashed their potential with a fourth-place finish. This time, they topped the No. 1 team in the world, Norway’s Anders Mol and Christian Sorum, in the semifinals.
“If you see where we came from last February when we were like 18th or 19th in the world, we had to go through country quota matches, through qualifications,” Wickler said. “Afterward we got into the main draw and now second at the World Champs and that is good progress. We still want to increase our game; we want to get better. There are still big tournaments so we will prepare for them and hopefully do as good as we did and maybe even better.”
Rebounding from a semifinal defeat – a rare event –Mol and Sorum captured the bronze medal with a 19-21, 21-15, 15-10 over Tri Bourne and Trevor Crabb of the United States.
The Norwegians bounced back from their loss to Thole and Wickler on Saturday night. Their match record on the FIVB World Tour during the Olympic qualifying cycle is now 42-4 with four tournament titles in eight events.
“It’s been crazy all week,” Mol said of the crowd. “There were thousands of people who couldn’t get into this arena. That’s just amazing to see and I’m happy to see that the sport is growing in this direction, especially here in Hamburg.”
Crabb and Bourne, who captured the Qinzhou, China 3-star event in October, were trying to end a U.S. drought on the World Championships podium. The last American medal was picked up by Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser, who took bronze in Stavanger, Norway in 2009.
It was the fourth meeting between the teams and the first time the Americans collected a set off the Norwegians.
QUARTA NEWS FINALI FEMMINILI ( by www.www.fivb.org , 06.07.2019) / THE WINNER IS… / Beach volleyball / Confident Canadians Pavan and Humana-Paredes claim championship crown
Hamburg, Germany, July 6, 2019 - Packed up and ready to head to Am Rothenbaum Stadium for the gold medal match in the FIVB Beach World Championships presented by comdirect and ALDI Nord on Saturday, Sarah Pavan had a couple of words for partner Melissa Humana-Paredes.
“I said as we left the hotel this morning, ‘We’re going to come back as World Champions’ and we did,” Pavan said. “I don’t even know, we’re so excited.”
In an All-North American final, the Canadian duo topped April Ross and Alix Klineman, 2-0 (23-21, 23-21) to capture that gold medal, prize money of US$60,000 and an automatic qualification spot for their country to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Before an overflow crowd estimated 12,000, Pavan and Humana-Paredes collected the first World Championships medal for their country as they avenged two three-set losses to the Americans from back in May.
“Wow. It feels incredible,” said Pavan, an Olympian in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. “This is a dream come true. This is something we will carry with us forever. This is our big goal for this particular season, to be World Champions.”
Humana-Paredes, who joined with Pavan in time for the 2016 FIVB World Tour Finals in her hometown of Toronto, struggled to express her joy.
“There are no words,” she said. “The last two weeks have been incredible. We had to fight our way here. It wasn’t an easy route at all and that makes it even more special. It wasn’t pretty at times; it wasn’t the best we’ve ever played but we managed to stay together and fight. It was all heart, we wanted this so bad and now we have it, and it’s the best feeling ever.
“You dream of this moment and you try to think of something smart to say, but you can’t because you don’t know what to say because it’s indescribable.”
The first set turned into a set of runs before the teams settled into a knock-down fight. A block by Klineman gave the U.S. a 7-4 lead, then Humana-Paredes began digging everything in sight to spark a 10-0 run.
Ross and Klineman responded with an 11-4 run to tie it, but on their fourth set point, Pavan’s block gave the Canadians the one-set advantage.
In the second, Ross and Klineman held a 14-11 lead before Canada fought back. Again, had four chances to end it and again, Pavan delivered a block and the championship trophy was draped in a red-and-white maple leaf flag.
The result denied Ross her second World Championship to go with the one she won with her current coach, Jen Kessy, in 2009. Klineman was playing in her first World Championships.
“I’m pretty upset,” Ross admitted. “To get here and have it be Alix’s first World Championships, it would have been so amazing to win the gold.
“We’re obviously very happy to win a silver medal at the World Championships. This is the best I’ve ever done at a World Championships in an Olympic qualifying year by far, and it goes a long way toward Tokyo so we’re proud about that.
“But it stings to not have a gold at World Championships. For me even more it doesn’t matter what match it was, it was how I played, how we played as a team and to not pull that out, it hurts a lot.”
Ross and Klineman shared the US$45,000 second prize and collected a whopping 1,440 points to keep them comfortably ahead of the U.S. ledger in Olympic qualification points.
The Canadians, who entered the tournament ranked sixth in the world, collected 1,600 points to surpass countrywomen Heather Bansley and Brandie Wilkerson in their country’s standings.
Pavan, so overcome by the result in Hamburg, had to be reminded of what was part of the victory.
“Oh, I forgot about that part,” she said, almost gasping. “Um, that’s really cool. We stressed ‘We want to be World Champs, we want to be World Champs’ but looking bigger, wow. We just qualified. This finish aside from ‘Holy crap, we’re World Champs’, it’s just going to be so good to help our Olympic seeding.”
The race continues next week in Switzerland at the US$600,000 Gstaad Major.
“We have another tournament next week and this is the first tournament of six weeks on the road,” Humana-Paredes said. “And this is the best way we could start the next six weeks.”
