With a different partner, Huberli had one more silver back in 2014. Together, 30-year-old Huberli and 27-year-old Brunner won their first title in 2021, as well as silvers in 20. They also won all six of their matches at the continental championship last week to crown their campaign with a 2-0 (21-12, 21-13) sweep of the gold medal game against Spain’s Daniela Alvarez & Tania Moreno.
The number eight team in the women’s FIVB Beach Volleyball World Ranking, Tokyo 2020 Olympians Nina Brunner & Tanja Huberli, reached their third consecutive and fourth overall EuroBeachVolley final. Their Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour collection features six medals – three gold, two silver and one bronze. They also claimed the FIVB U21 World Championship crown in 2021 and the gold medals at the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games. It was the second continental title for the Swedish duo at the senior level, but they have four age-category European Championship gold medals to show off as well. In Sunday’s final, Ahman & Hellvig mastered a 2-0 (21-16, 21-18) shutout of Netherlands’ Leon Luini & Yorick de Groot.
The 21-year-old Swedish jump-setters, currently number two in the men’s men’s FIVB Beach Volleyball World Ranking, went through their entire EuroBeachVolley campaign undefeated, losing only three sets in the six matches played. While Ahman & Hellvig defended their trophy from last year, Brunner & Huberli reclaimed the crown, which they won in 2021, also in the Austrian capital, but then lost to Latvia’s Anastasija Samoilova & Tina Graudina in the 2022 final. Sweden’s David Ahman & Jonatan Hellvig and Switzerland’s Nina Brunner & Tanja Huberli earned their second CEV Beach Volleyball European Championship titles over the weekend in Vienna.
