Description
On this episode of The Road to Paris, Travis Mewhirter breaks down the most recent Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour event: The Tepic Elite16. Switzerland's Nina Brunner and Tanja Huberli won their first gold medal as a team, while Sweden's David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig continue their absurd finals run, with seven straight now and a second straight gold in Tepic. We chat all about that, as well as:
- Cuba's Jorge Alayo and Noslen Diaz, a bronze medal, and the long-awaited SHARPIE!!
- Sarah Pavan and Molly McBain's lucky break winning the lucky loser to sneak back into the main draw and finish ninth
- Sandra Ittlinger and Karla Borger's excellent fifth-place finish, and an increasingly interesting German race with Laura Ludwig and Louisa Lippmann
- Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner adding another solid, 600-point finish to extend their lead over Chase Budinger and Miles Evans
And, of course, a look at this week's Challenge event in Xiamen, China.
