The third of four FIVB World Tour stops in Brazil on the 2015-2016 international calendar begins here Tuesday with qualifying competition for both men and women at the US$150,000 Vitória Open on Camburi beach at Avenue Dante Michelini.
Eight pairs from the men’s and women’s Qualification Tournament will advance Tuesday afternoon to the “money” rounds where competition features pool play Wednesday and Thursday Camburi beach. Elimination bracket play will be Friday and Saturday with the medal matches Sunday.
The Vitória Open is the seventh men’s and fifth women’s tournament on the 2015-2016 FIVB World Tour schedule where points from each team’s finishes will count towards qualifying for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Brazil world tour stops started three weeks ago in Maceio with last week’s competition on Copacabana where the Rio Summer Games will be played August 6-18.
FIRST TIME SINCE 2006
Vitória will be hosting men’s and women’s international Beach Volleyball together for only the second-time with this year’s event being the first on Camburi beach since 2006 when teams from host Brazil (Juliana Felisberta/Larissa Franca) and Germany (Julius Brink/Christoph Dieckmann) topped the podium in a late September, early October event.
