FIVB Men's Beach - September 4-7, 1997

http://www.Volleyball.ORG


FIVB FINAL PRESS RELEASE September 8th 1997


The spectators danced for 6 hours in Tenerife !


As in previous years in Tenerife, the Promoter ÒSpecial EventsÓ not only organized a Beach World Tour event, but a complete and colorful show, excellently animated by the Winston Fun Girls and an entertaining speaker. The stadium was already crowded in the morning during the semifinals and the public stayed for more than 2 hours, dancing on the bleachers during the break between the semifinals and the bronze and gold medal matches.

There was however no Brazilian samba during the Canarian final, as Norway (Kvalheim-Maaseide) and Argentina (Martinez-Conde) held the center stage. Fifty-five minutes were necessary for the Norwegians to celebrate their second World Tour title this season after their victory in Espinho Grand Slam one month ago. Though the spectators were cheering for Martinez-Conde, the height difference (2m and 1.93 for Norway against 1.93 and 1.88 for Argentina) was to the advantage of the North-European team.

The fight for bronze was intense but the Laciga brothers (Switzerland) - whilst achieving their best ranking this season - could not overcome the current leaders of the FIVB World Ranking, Brazilians Zé Marco-Emanuel, who have only missed one podium up to now (13th in Espinho).

But this Canarian event constituted a bad operation for the Canadian Olympic medalists, Child-Heese. With their 13th place in Tenerife, they lost their 5th place in the FIVB World Ranking and are now preceded by Roberto Lopes-Franco (Brazil) and the second Canadian team, Holden-Leinemann.

An excellent 7th place was obtained by Penigaud-Jodard who for the first time since the Olympic Games were once again playing together.

1997 World Tour calendar: Additional Open events in Brazil have been officially included in the 1997 World Tour calendar as follows:
Men's Open in Fortaleza: December 4th to 7th, 1997 (Main Draw)
