The Qataris were positively dominant in the gold medal match, sweeping Americans Chase Budinger and Troy Field, 21-17, 21-15, in a match they controlled from start to finish, in a style and setting that was very reminiscent of the Cancun four-stars a year and a half ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Hot and humid? Check. Windy and occasionally rainy? Check. In Cancun, under those hot and humid and breezy conditions, Ahmed and Cherif flew up the world rankings, making three straight finals, also winning the third event, which marked their first major gold medal as a team (their first came in a one-star at home in Doha two months prior). After, they made finals in Sochi and Gstaad, and claimed the first beach volleyball Olympic medal in Qatari history, winning bronze.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But after a finals appearance at the Jurmala Elite16 in early June, the podiums have been strangely absent for Ahmed and Cherif. They finished ninth at the World Championships, ninth again in Gstaad \u2013 both times they were eliminated by Brazil\u2019s Bruno and Saymon \u2013 and fifth in Paris. For four months, they went without a medal, their longest in-season drought since 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All of that changed on Sunday, when Samba and Tijan came back to defeat Sweden\u2019s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig in the semifinals, 15-21, 21-12, 15-13, then followed it up by knocking off their third American team in four matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And while Budinger and Field didn\u2019t win gold, simply making it to the final was no small accomplishment for an American federation suffering from an unprecedented shortage of medals. Sunday marked the first day in nearly three years that an American men\u2019s team appeared in the final of a top-tier event \u2013 top-tier being four-star and above, and Challenge and above \u2013 since Jake Gibb and Taylor Crabb won gold at the Chetumal four-star in November of 2019. Their silver is also the first medal won by an American team since Gibb and Crabb\u2019s gold in Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-98609\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-580x326.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-13.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sweden, despite a season shortened by injury, has had no such shortage of success this year. The bronze won by Ahman and Hellvig, defeating Ukraine&#8217;s Sergiy Popov and Eduard Reznik, is their second medal on the Beach Pro Tour this season, to go along with victories at the European Championship and U22 European Championship. Not bad for only seven tournaments\u2019 worth of work, as the Maldives was the first Beach Pro Tour event for Ahman and Hellvig since the Ostrava Elite16.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All three medal-winners will be bound for Dubai, which will be hosting back-to-back Challenge events, with play beginning Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Related links of AVC<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">AVC Website: click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianvolleyball.net\/\"><span class=\"s3\">www.asianvolleyball.net<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">AVC Facebook: click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation\"><span class=\"s4\">www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">AVC Twitter: click: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/AsianVolleyball\"><span class=\"s3\">www.twitter.com\/AsianVolleyball<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">AVC Instagram: click: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en\"><span class=\"s3\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">AVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">AVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After three events and four months without a medal, the Qataris are back to their winning ways Exactly two weeks prior to Sunday\u2019s final of the Beach Pro Tour Challenge&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":98608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beach-volleyball-news","category-slider"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
