  • Foro Italico, 4-8 Settembre 2019
    Foro Italico, 4-8 settembre 2019 Le Fivb Beach Finals al Foro Italico di Roma Il Foro Italico e la Capitale tornano protagonisti del circuito mondiale del beach volley. Dal 4 all’8 settembre, infatti, andranno in scena le Finals del World Tour 2019; ultimo appuntamento della stagione internazionale che vedrà scendere in campo le migliori coppie al mondo. Sulla sabbia capitolina ci saranno in palio fama, gloria, un ricco montepremi e molti, importanti punti validi per il ranking olimpico. Il Foro Italico, riconosciuto universalmente da atleti e addetti ai lavori come una delle migliori location del pianeta, torna dunque alle luci della ribalta a distanza di cinque anni dall’ultimo Grand Slam organizzato nel 2013. Il primo ciclo di joint ventur tra Federazione Italiana Pallavolo e l’allora CONI Servizi SpA diede vita a un quinquennio di grandi eventi tra i quali i Campionati del Mondo del 2011 che sancirono la consacrazione in Italia della disciplina più seguita ai Giochi Olimpici. La rassegna iridata fece registrare numeri importanti in termini di partecipazione di pubblico; un boom che contribuì successivamente all’ingresso della pallavolo nel complesso sportivo italiano (2014 Italia-Polonia e 2015 Italia-Brasile di World League; 2018 l’esordio degli azzurri nei Campionati del Mondo sotto lo sguardo del Presidente della Repubblica) che ha così accolto nella sua lunga storia un numero sempre maggiore di discipline. L’attesa è notevole dunque per un evento che spera di celebrare un grande risultato in termini di pubblico, di seguito e sperando in una affermazione delle coppie italiane che mai sono salite sul gradino più alto del podio a Roma.

Dopo l’incredibile successo dei Campionati del Mondo dello scorso anno, quando 10 mila spettatori hanno gremito gli spalti del campo centrale per assistere alle finali, la Capitale è pronta ad accogliere i più forti giocatori del grande circo sulla sabbia impegnati nello FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch World Tour smart Grand Slam - Rome 2012.

  • A Comparison of Rating Systems for Competitive Women's Beach Volleyball
    Statistica Applicata - Italian Journal of Applied Statistics Vol. 30 (2) 233 doi.org/10.26398/IJAS.0030-010 A COMPARISON OF RATING SYSTEMS FOR COMPETITIVE WOMEN’S BEACH VOLLEYBALL Mark E. Glickman1 Department of Statistics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA Jonathan Hennessy Google, Mountain View, CA, USA Alister Bent Trillium Trading, New York, NY, USA Abstract Women’s beach volleyball became an official Olympic sport in 1996 and continues to attract the participation of amateur and professional female athletes. The most well-known ranking system for women’s beach volleyball is a non-probabilistic method used by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) in which points are accumulated based on results in designated competitions. This system produces rankings which, in part, determine qualification to elite events including the Olympics. We investigated the application of several alternative probabilistic rating systems for head-to-head games as an approach to ranking women’s beach volleyball teams. These include the Elo (1978) system, the Glicko (Glickman, 1999) and Glicko-2 (Glickman, 2001) systems, and the Stephenson (Stephenson and Sonas, 2016) system, all of which have close connections to the Bradley- Terry (Bradley and Terry, 1952) model for paired comparisons. Based on the full set of FIVB volleyball competition results over the years 2007-2014, we optimized the parameters for these rating systems based on a predictive validation approach. The probabilistic rating systems produce 2014 end-of-year rankings that lack consistency with the FIVB 2014 rankings. Based on the 2014 rankings for both probabilistic and FIVB systems, we found that match results in 2015 were less predictable using the FIVB system compared to any of the probabilistic systems.

    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.
