Winner of seven gold medals this season with two different partners, Harley was recognized as the SWATCH Most Outstanding Player for 2008 season at the year’s last double gender event in China this past weekend in Sanya. The women’s post-season awards will be announced next week. The men’s SWATCH Most Outstanding Player was selected byrepresentatives from SWATCH and the Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), who also selected Igor Kolodinsky as the SWATCH top server for the 2008 season as the Russian recorded a record serve of 114.0 km/h. Harley teamed with Pedro Salgado to clinch the SWATCH team-of-the-year award by capturing the 2008 point’s championship at a mid-September event in Guarujà, Brazil. After winning six gold medals in 2008 with Salgado, Harley ended the campaign capturing the season-ending event in Sanya with Benjamin Insfran. “It is always an honor to be recognized as the top player,” said the 34-year old Harley. “This honor helps in easing my failure with Pedro to qualify for the Olympics. However, we did accomplish a lot in winning six events together this season to finish as the top team on the SWATCH tour.

  • Cartella Stampa Mondiale Beach Volley 2019 1.Pdf
    I Campionati Mondiali 2019 ad Amburgo Dal 28 giugno al 7 luglio 2019, allo stadio Am Rothenbaum di Amburgo, si terrà la quindicesima edizione dei Campionati Mondiali maschili e femminili di beach volley. L’appuntamento clou della stagione pre olimpica riserverà anche la possibilità, per le coppie vincitrici, di staccare il pass per Tokyo 2020. Un ulteriore motivazione per le tre coppie azzurre che proveranno a portare a casa la prima medaglia mondiale nella storia italiana di questa disciplina. Nel tabellone maschile, i vice campioni olimpici Paolo Nicolai e Daniele Lupo, sono tornati a pieno regime dopo il recupero dall’infortunio alla mano destra procuratosi da Lupo prima dell’inizio della stagione. La coppia azzurra che si presenta ai nastri di partenza al decimo posto del ranking mondiale, farà il proprio esordio il 29 giugno contro Soares-Nguvo. Alex Ranghieri e Marco Caminati, invece, parteciperanno in virtù della wild card ottenuta e inizieranno il proprio percorso il 28 giugno contro Doppler-Horst, con la voglia di sorprendere tutti. Nella stagione in corso, da sottolineare l’argento conquistato nella tappa 2 stelle di Aydin, in Turchia. Con lo stesso obiettivo scenderanno in campo Marta Menegatti e Viktoria Orsi Toth, che rappresenteranno i colori azzurri nel tabellone femminile. Le due atlete tricolori sono tornate a competere insieme a partire dalla metà della scorsa stagione, conquistando subito qualche buon piazzamento nel World Tour 2018, come il secondo posto nella tappa 3 stelle di Qinzhou e la medaglia d’oro nella tappa 2 stelle di Agadir. In generale, per tutte le coppie tricolori in gara, la rassegna iridata sarà un’ottima occasione per mettersi in mostra, anche in vista del grande appuntamento di settembre, con le World Tour Roma Finals in programma al Foro Italico.

  • Olympic Beach Volleyball Tournament 2012
    Skill Estimates – Olympic Beach Volleyball Tournament 2012 Susanne Hoffmeister and Jorg¨ Rambau Abstract This paper provides skill estimates for the players Julius Brink (GER), Jonas Reckermann (GER), Alison Cerutti (BRA) and Emanuel Rego (BRA) who participated in the final of the Olympic beach volleyball tournament 2012 in Lon- don. The skill estimates are based on all matches the teams have played during the Olympic tournament. Each ball contact has been analyzed according to a specifi- cation of hits and a division of the field. The resulting tables aggregate the skill estimates such that they can be used as input parameters of mathematical models like, for example, an appropriate Markov decision problem. 1 Introduction The need for positional and player depended skill estimates originates from the de- velopment of a Markov decision problem for beach volleyball, see [1]. This Markov decision problem has a very large state space that contains among other things the positions of the players and the ball. Since no appropriate data source was publicly available, a project was started to raise a database on our own. To estimate the skills, we evaluated all matches Julius Brink (GER) and Jonas Reckermann (GER), as well as Alison Cerutti (BRA) and Emanuel Rego (BRA), played in the tournament. These were 7 matches for each team, from which, in to- tal, 1635 ball contacts of Brink-Reckermann and 1857 ball contacts of the Brazilian team were observed. The data collection is based on publicly available video mate- rial of the 2012 Olympics beach volleyball tournament. Software support was used during the process of collecting, recording and eval- uating the data.
