The 2011 Beach Volleyball World Championship took place in Rome ( Italy ) from June 13th to 19th . The competitions for women and men were held in parallel. It was the eighth official World Cup. In the women's category, the Brazilians Larissa and Juliana defeated the US duo May-Treanor / Walsh in the final, after the latter had defeated the defending champions Jennifer Kessy and April Ross (also USA) in the quarter-finals . The men's tournament ended with an all-Brazilian final, which Emanuel and Alison won against Márcio Araújo and Ricardo . The defending champions Julius Brink and Jonas Reckermann from Germany won the bronze medal. The German volleyball association started with a total of nine duos, Switzerland provided six teams and Austria was represented by four teams.
Organization and media
The world championship was held on a total of five places in the Foro Italico . Admission was free for spectators on the first days of the tournament; tickets only had to be purchased for the finals.
A total of one million US dollars in prize money was awarded to the participants. The new world champions received $ 60,000 each, the teams eliminated as fourth in the group each received $ 3,400. In addition, the winning teams each earned 1000 points for the world rankings.
The games on the Center Court were shown in an internet live stream operated by the FIVB in cooperation with laola1.tv . German viewers could also follow the tournament on the pay TV channel Sport1 +; the men's final was shown live on the broadcaster's free TV channel.
mode
48 teams each competed for women and men. Host Italy was allowed to have a maximum of six teams. For both tournaments three wild cards were given. The German duo Geeske Banck / Anja Günther benefited from this . Each continent was represented by at least one team.
In twelve preliminary round groups, four teams each played each against each for a place in the main round. There were two points for a win and one point for a loss. In the event of a tie, first the direct comparison and then the sentence ratio counted. The two best teams from each group and the eight best third-placed teams reached the next round. From there on, the simple knockout system continued until the final.
