A tough match at womens side welcomed me in the evening session with a sunset when I arrived the venue of CEV European Championship Final 2016 Biel/Bienne on 3rd of June.
It was a round 2 match
between Menegatti/Orsi Toth (ITA) / Holtwick/Semmler (GER) at side court and
Germans won this thrilling game with a 16-14 tie-break.

The venue was full of
people even in a rainy weather. It was like a carnival with full of stands between the centre
court and side courts. Eating and drinking areas, small shops,
some kind of playing areas and big meeting tent in the middle with a bar are located brilliantly at the venue. Of course my favourite stand was Haribo.

The
last match at the evening session was between Heidrich-Zumkehr (SUI) and
Slukova-Hermannova (CZE). This years FIVB Sochi Open champions and home
heroines Heidrich-Zumkehr started very strongly to the game. After 17-14,
Slukova - Hermanova tied the game at the end of first set with a 20-20 but the
first set gone to Heidrich-Zumkehr.
After Hermannova's
injury, Czech girls started to play better and they took the game 2-1
with a 21-17 second and easier one with a 15-6 tie-break.
