The twins Javi and Joaquín Bello (22) signed up for the Copa del Rey, while the Copa de la Reina is once again for Belén Carro (24) and Ángela Lobato (31), champions last year in the competitions that have been held in Menorca, and that open the national circuit. The difference is that while they defend the Spanish jersey and form the second international couple for the FIVB ranking, They, born in Madrid, sons of a coach, Luis, with a tradition in the Madrid competition, are internationals for the United Kingdom and now hold British nationality.
The point is that the Men’s beach volleyball, at least in the Copa del Rey, has run in the family: three of the four pairings in the semifinals were made up of brothers. In the final, Sergi Reñé and Óscar Jiménez (it seemed that he was not going to finish the semifinal, which he ended up winning), who began by winning the first set, were overcome by the twins. In the fight for bronze, the Huerta brothers beat the Monfort brothers, two regular couples on the national circuit.
In the women’s competition Ángela Lobato and Belén Carro won the Cup by defeating Sofía González and Sol Guidarelli in the final, that they had surprised Carolina Fernández and Nazaret Florián. Third place was taken Teresa Mas and Aina Munarwith a Nazareth reduced in its contribution due to a shoulder injury that this week will know the scope.
