You can argue if it really makes sense to play a Beach Major Series event in the week right after the FIVB World Championships. After ten days of fierce competition, many teams might be physically and/or mentally exhausted. Nevertheless, the 20th edition of the Gstaad event will be played between July 9-14, 2019.
The $600,000 Gstaad Major qualifiers start on Tuesday and main draw kicks off on Wednesday. The finals are scheduled for Saturday on the men’s and for Sunday on the women’ side.
The new world champions Melissa Humana-Paredes and Sarah Pavan from Canada are also the defending champions after beating Germany’s Chantal Laboureur and Julia Sude in last year’s gold medal match. On the men’s side, Norwegian Vikings Anders Mol and Christian Sorum will try to defend their 2018 title that also kicked off their incredible run that ended in winning the Gstaad and Vienna Majors, the European championships and the World Tour Finals.
You can find schedule and results on the FIVB website.
