When the 2015 FIVB World Tour season culminated in the Swatch Beach Volleyball FIVB World Tour Finals in Fort Lauderdale last October, the world’s elite met in Florida to determine the number one teams of the season.
All of the top teams clashed against each other, but it was the Brazilian men and women who made their way to the top of the podium as Larissa/Talita and Alison/Bruno claimed gold in Fort Lauderdale. Fellow Brazilians Agatha/Barbara and Pedro Solberg/Evandro both claimed the bronze medal. Ludwig/Walkenhorst (GER) fought their way up to the silver medal, while the men’s silver medal was claimed by the home team Dalhausser/Lucena.
