Cancun, Mexico. Watch all the action at the three consecutive Cancun Hub events live on the Beach Volleyball World Youtube channel. Friday features main draw matches at the second of three 4-star FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour events in Mexico.
Robin Seidl and Philipp Waller from Austria are the only team that made it through what has to be one of the toughest qualification events in the beach volleyball history. With very few events left before the Olympic qualification deadline all the teams are trying to gather important points and battling through the tough conditions with high heat and strong winds in Cancun, Mexico.
Already qualified for the Main draw were Hermannova/Slukova and Perušic/Scweiner from Czech Republic and Schützenhöfer/Plesiutschnig from Austria.
Three consecutive 4-star events are scheduled in Cancun. The first was held from April 16 to 20. The second event follows from April 22 to 26 and the third from April 28 to May 2.
