Rio 2016 (10.08.2016)

At a  rainy day in Rio two hot matches welcomed me at Beach Volley Arena at Copacabana Beach in the morning session,

At first one Bawden/Clancy (AUS) beated Meppelink/Van Iersel (HOL) 2-1 in a thrilling one.
The Australian pair also defeated Netherlands at Round of 16 of last years World Championships 2015.
