Brouwer and Meeuwsen were absent from the Games in Paris. Partly due to the actions of Immers and Van de Velde, who earned the second available spot for Paris in the Olympic qualification process. “We made up for those guys a bit too early in training,” joked Meeuwsen afterwards. Brouwer does not yet know whether he will stop or find another playing partner. He could not say much after the match. Emotions got the better of him when the two received a standing ovation. “We met here on the beach in Scheveningen. The circle is complete,” said Meeuwsen this week.
