The best international beach volleyball players started the fierce battle for valuable points at the Doha Elite16 with the 2023 edition of the Tour set to play a key role in the Olympic qualification race for Paris 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition to the season opener of Beach Pro Tour 2023, Doha is also set to host the closing event, the 2023 Beach Pro Tour Finals in December. It will be the second consecutive time the Finals will visit Qatar, after the Gulf country delivered an excellent first tournament in January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CoEYeBGNJCt\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CoEYeBGNJCt\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A look at the podiums at the Doha Finals would probably unveil some of the teams expected to play a leading role on the road to Paris 2024. In the women\u2019s competition, the recently reunited American pair of Kelly Cheng &amp; Sara Hughes topped the standings, which meant they took three gold medals out of their first three appearances on Tour. Another reunited duo, 2014 Youth Olympic champions Eduarda Santos Lisboa (Duda) &amp; Ana Patricia Ramos of Brazil, who joined forces again for the start of the 2022 season, went on to win the 2022 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championship in Rome and finished the year as the number one team in the FIVB World Ranking, had to settle for silver at the Tour Finals. The bronze went to one of the most consistent women\u2019s teams in 2022, Katja Stam &amp; Raisa Schoon of the Netherlands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Norway\u2019s Anders Mol &amp; Christian Sorum became the first-ever Beach Pro Tour champions on the men\u2019s side, adding to their titles of incumbent world and Olympic champions and consolidating their status as the number one team in the world. The other team that managed to take as many gold medals (four) during the first Beach Pro Tour season as the Beachvolley Vikings, Poland\u2019s Michal Bryl &amp; Bartosz Losiak, earned the silver medals at the Doha Finals. The bronze went to the Italian pairing of experienced three-time Olympian Paolo Nicolai and 24-year-old talent Samuele Cottafava.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-103970\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-580x387.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-860x574.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-1160x774.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-500x334.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-800x534.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-1280x854.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-1320x881.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-3.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Mol &amp; Sorum started the Beach Pro Tour 2023 season with a hard-fought three-set win over Nicolai &amp; Cottafava in Doha<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With its top-tier tournaments, the Elite16 category, the Beach Pro Tour 2023 will return to Uberlandia in Brazil in late April, to one of the most unique beach volleyball venues, the industrial heritage site in the Czech city of Ostrava in May and June, to what is widely regarded as the most picturesque beach volleyball location in Gstaad, Switzerland in July, to Germany\u2019s beach volleyball capital Hamburg in August, and to the iconic Roland Garros in Paris in September and October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Tour will also revisit Dubai, where a Challenge tournament was held in 2022. This year, November\u2019s tournament in the UAE city will be upgraded to Elite16. Australia, which hosted the last Elite16 event in 2022 in Torquay, will welcome another one in late November at a venue yet to be announced. Tepic in Mexico is one of the new locations in the plans for 2023 with the second Elite16 stop to be held in March, after the North American country organised the first-ever Elite16 tournament last year in Rosarito.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-103968\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-580x387.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-860x573.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-500x333.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-1280x853.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-1320x880.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GetImage-1-1.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Within the ironworks of the Lower Vitkovice industrial heritage site in Ostrava<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Canada is unchartered territory for the Beach Pro Tour, but that will change in 2023, as Montreal hosts an Elite16 event in late July, the week after Edmonton breaks new ground with a Challenge tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Challenge calendar in 2023 will open with a tournament in Mexico, just like it did in 2022 with the first-ever Beach Pro Tour event in Tlaxcala.
