Hello, beach volleyball fans! Excited for the weekend? You’d better be because Friday is supposed to be a big day with one of the most anticipated meetings in the beach volleyball world this year. The German Tour moves this week to Hamburg with the women returning to the sand and the very first match of the tournament will feature Rio 2016 Olympic champions Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst on opposite sides of the court. The match starts at 9am (CET) and you can watch it here.
Several other tournaments will be taking place in Europe across the weekend, but going back to Germany, the country’s national federation has hired a legend of the sport to coordinate its beach program. Across the Atlantic, an American star just had surgery and a new Brazilian team was formed as the country prepares to resume competition next month.

Russian elite teams are competing in Kazan while the Dutch play in Zaanstad and the Polish hit the sand in Myslenice. The continent will also feature National Championships in Latvia (Cesis) and Finland (Tampere).
