Here we are, beach volleyball fans! The A1 Major Vienna presented by Swatch is set to start in less than a week and while we cannot wait to have beach volleyball back at the Danube Island, there’s a lot going on around the globe before it and the only place you can know about it is your column Beach Shorts.

Here is our weekly summary for you!

World Tour in three continents

Beach volleyball players have the opportunity to warm up for the Vienna Major this week as the World Tour is hosting events in three different continents. The highlight is the double-gender three-star tournament in Tokyo, the host city of the next Olympics. The tournament features 71 teams from 21 countries including some athletes that will compete in Vienna next week. Agadir, in Morocco, stages a two-star event, while Samsun, Turkey, hosts a one-star tournament.

National Tours in Europe

One week after the European Championships, several of the most relevant National Tours within the continent resume action. In Leipzig, the German Tour will have the seventh of its eight events, with Olympic champion Kira Walkenhorst teaming with veteran Elena Kiesling. The Swiss Tour has the fifth of seven tournaments running in Basel while the Dutch Tour has the 10 of 11 events in Vrouwenpolder.

Social media: Ricardo plays with his son

Brazilian legend Ricardo Santos is set to compete in Vienna’s country-quota but he had a pretty special moment before he boarded to the Austrian capital as he played a local tournament in Florida, where he lives, with his 21-year-old son Pedro. Could we see a father-and-son team on the Beach Major Series soon?
