Il miglior risultato ottenuto finora da Paolo Nicolai e Samuele Cottafava nella stagione del Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour 2023, il secondo posto ottenuto la scorsa settimana all'evento Elite16 di Amburgo, ha aiutato gli italiani a continuare la loro scalata nella classifica mondiale FIVB Beach Volleyball.

Con i 1.100 punti raccolti insieme alle medaglie d'argento dell'evento tedesco, gli italiani, che meno di un mese fa erano al 12° posto, sono ora saliti al settimo con 6.220 punti e precedono i connazionali Adrian Carambula e Alex Ranghieri di soli 280 punti.

The two other teams that made it to the podium at the Am Rothenbaum Stadium on Sunday, gold medalists David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig and bronze medalists Anders Mol and Christian Sørum solidified their spots at the top of the rankings. While the Swedish are second with 7,720 points, the Norwegians continue solid at the top, with 9,300.

Two other teams situated near the top of the rankings were also able to move up with their results in Hamburg – fifth-placed Americans Andy Benesh and Miles Partain, who were fifth and are now tied for third with Qataris Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan at 6,740 points, and fourth-placed Brazilians Andre Loyola and George Wanderley, who went from sixth to fifth with 6,660 points.

From the Hamburg women’s medalists, Germans Svenja Müller and Cinja Tillmann were certainly the ones that benefited the most from their podium appearance at home. The two entered the event ranked 25^th and have gained seven spots, going to 18^th, with the 1,000 points they earned, elevating their total to 4,980.

Gold medalists Eduarda ‘Duda’ Lisboa and Ana Patrícia Ramos and silver medalists Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss continue where they were – the Brazilians are first, now with 8,900 points, while the Americans remain in third place, with 7,280.

Le brasiliane Bárbara Seixas e Carol Salgado, quarte, sono riuscite a guadagnare un posto, passando dalla sesta alla quinta posizione con 6.580 punti, mentre le canadesi Brandie Wilkerson e Melissa Humana-Paredes hanno fatto un grande balzo con il loro quinto posto, passando dal 13° al settimo posto con il loro nuovo totale di 6.040 punti.
