Beach volleyball: New title for Åhman/Hellvig – has ten podium places in a row

In the even final of the competition, which was decided in the Swiss city of Gstaad, they faced the Brazilian couple, George/Andre. The set numbers were written as 21–18, 21–18.

– We manage to win six straight matches, despite many even matches and some losses at the end of the set. We play maturely, never give up and are strong when it really burns, says national team captain Rasmus Jonsson in a press release about Åhman/Hellvig’s performance in the tournament.

Olympics next

During this week’s competition, both the world threes from Germany and the mentioned Brazilian duo, who are today ranked as world twos, were defeated.

The next competition for the Swedish duo is the Olympics in Paris, where they have their first match against Australia on July 27.

– It has been a fantastic season for us so far. We play so many close games and somehow we always manage to win them. Absolutely crazy, observes Jonatan Hellvig.
