Joao Pessoa Elite16 Recap: Norway Remains King; Brazil Women Reload

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is an international Beach Access, where Travis and Kyle Friend traveled to Brazil for the Joao Pessoa Elite16. After a week in Brazil on the Beach Pro Tour, we recapped a tremendous event in Joao Pessoa, chatting:

• How Anders Mol and Christian Sorum are still King, fending off Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig and a rejuvenated Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan of Qatar
• No Ana Patricia and Duda? No problem for the Brazilian women, who are reloading the talent pipeline with Victoria Lopes and Thamela Coradelli
• A pair of unexpected American semifinalists in bronze medal winners Kim “Hurricane” Hildreth and Teegan Van Gunst, and Deahna Kraft and Lexy Denaburg
• The emergence of Argentina’s Tomas Capogrosso and Nico Capogrosso

The full video, with Frito’s sexy recap thrown in, can be found on the Beach Volleyball World YouTube page!
