The Beachvolleyball Vice World Champion Julius Thole and Clemens Wickler, like Olympic champion, excreted Laura Ludwig and Margareta Kozuch in the quarterfinals of Olympia and became fifth. In a new edition of the World Cup final of two years ago, the Duo from Hamburg lost the world master Wyacheslaw Krasilnikov and Oleg Stojanowski on Wednesday clear 0: 2 (16:21, 19:21). "We are not quite at our performance maxim. Of course, it hurts," said Thole.
For the first time since 2008 there is no medal for the German volleyball association in Beachvolleyball. In 2012, Julius Brink / Jonas Reckermann was brought into London Gold, five years ago in Rio, Ludwig was successful in the final with her then partner Kira Walkenhorst.
Calling Olympic Champion Ludwig
Once again, Thole / Wickler and Krasilnikov / Stojanowski had faced themselves since the World Cup final, even at the tournament in Rome there was a defeat as in the three duels before. In the knowledge of the balance of 0: 4 Wickler had again feared nervousness in advance - a 2: 0 at the start was fine. Longly, the German duo could not keep the lead and did at 6: 9 for the first time with three points in arrears. Apparently unimpressed, Thole / Wickler worked back. The sentence ran at eye level before the Russians moved to 15:19 and laying a little later the sack.
The world champions were repeatedly fired in the largely empty stadium, repeatedly of some people on the media tribute. The clap for good actions of the German duo from the supervisor area seemed long behavior. Only calls of Olympic champion Laura Ludwig, who looked good for one day after one's own, were well hearing before other around DOSB President Alfon's Hörmann became emotional.
Risk brings 18: 18 compensation
In passing two, it was again and again the size of the opponents and the sharpness of the butterflies, which cost Thole / winder points. In the dog-guided duel, both teams set early on Challenges and tried to really take care of all possibilities. With nine asses in the previous lots, Wickler went into the game as a most dangerous yet in the tournament, but could not use this weapon for a long time. The point to 12:10, however, was already the third ass of the two Russians. As a winder, the ball narrowly turned out there was 12:15 and the pressure grew. Thole / Wickler went into the risk and were again at the 18:18 - but were not rewarded.
