Mol / Sorum vs. Åhman / Hellvig - Gold Match Highlights Tepic 2023  

Have you watched the men’s final (Brouwer/Meeuwsen v. Bryl/Łosiak) at the Paris Elite16. Some high quality beach volleyball that match.

Agreed, AVP is nowhere near the Elite tour level now. Top ranked US mens team is #25 in world. I don't ever remember the gulf in levels being so big

That's not going to happen anytime soon. Partain/Benesh is our only hope from what I can see but Benesh has a lot to work on mechanically to get to this level.

AVP is a complete joke.

AVP women’s play is pretty comparable but the men’s play in the avp is light years behind international

@@Michael-tw7rwAgreed.

everyone is taking about the jump set but the incredible thing about is that they do it out of serve receive so many times. everyone who plays beach knows how incredible hard that is

Exactly what I was thinking! It almost feels blasphemous for some reason watching these two. Absolutely amazing, a simple case of young and vibrant vs traditional and sleepy, not that the Norwegians are anything close to the classical example for the latter 😅

They have a very difficult playstyle to counter.

@@arguelles7 yeaaah they made Mol really work for his blocks ;o

They should cover the hole from that hit with some extra sand haha

Haikyu vibes

The most insane thing here is the perfect pass from Ahman for Hellvig to fake the option ball. Come on! It was a jumping serve from Andy Mol!!!

we watched this scene over and over again 😲🤩

so true!

Sí. Son los reyes del ataque a 2º tiempo y de los tercer tiempo con colocación en suspensión y en amagos todo el tiempo

We love it too 🤩

sweden this is volleyball played in style.....congrats!

Glad you like it 😊

another thing to factor is in .. is that their style of place is heavily dependent on their athleticism. As soon as that dies down, it's going to be hard for them to compete at this level.

@@jaminga123 yeah but that’s at the very least like a decade away 😭

Whatever I have trained to tall people 25 years ago is in the SWE video. 1 more thing that they do not do is : the setting in PASS and if you set to your buddy in pass next to the antenna, you pass over the net to the other antenna behind you (to make the point)... that is a kind of impossible to know and saving such ball is a kind of impossible. However, I might think that the tall blocker could be very fast and tall... and can save such ball... when I do this (when I have a perfect moment to do this), no people can save such ball... but maybe in such high level of beach volleyball... it's easy for them ?

@@bluepawn They have a very difficult playstyle to counter. It is not easy to have Hellvig's passing technique, also think that you have just seen a game indoors without wind. And to perfect this style of play I have been training them for years in southern Tenerife and all over the world. They earned it.

The absence of wind and sun on this indoor court made the very difficult style of play of the flying boys a little easier for them.

The missing points were failures without more

@@arguelles7 No creo, todo el partido fue bueno en general. Vale la pena verlo completo. No deberían editar los videos así.

yeah thats what i was thinking, they look completely outclassed. The swedish duo is just on an entire nother level.

I was wondering the same... But well deserved victory for the swedes

The last time they playd, they put enough pressure on most serves to avoid the option. They didn't replicated that this time, always a good enough pass for Ahman

The camera angle is terrible. Stop doing this. You are ruining the volleyball!

possibly, this game had zero wind. which throws off the accuracy of their on 2 plays. Which we've seen them struggle with in the past. I see a big adjustment period about to happen with the rest of the field. I can't imagine many teams being able to actually neutralize/match this type of play. That being said, I also believe they have the fountain of youth on their side - Coupled with their athleticism is an absolutely lethal combo. If they don't manage it in paris, I doubt this heavily explosive style of play will age well with their bodies and they'll miss their window for an Oly gold.

@@BlackMercurialVapor They are only 21. I think that they, avoiding serious injury, can sustain their athleticism for more than 1 olympic. I do agree with the wind aspect though.

Actually the swedish team is comparably small. Ahman is only 1,86 m (6'1) and Hellvig 1,93 (6'3). Yet they convince with their ridiculous athleticism

Oh wow. Didn’t even know. They just look so tall. I assumed they were 6’4 - 6’6”.

​​@@AshK69 as far as I know Åhmans height depends on who you ask. Some say he's 1,86m others 1,91m and again others 1,93m (i've heard all three from different commentators). While Jonatan is 1,94 I believe. There is not much of a height difference between them on pictures so I'd say David is a bit taller than 1,86m but that doesn't change the fact that they are not the tallest players. Yet their jumping and athleticism definitely makes up for the "lack" of height.

@@bjarki304 Åhman did look smaller than Sorum and Wickler standing on the prize ceremony. Hellvig is the one more on the small side compared to other blockers, but makes up for it in other ways for sure.

David is 191cm (6'3) and Jonathan is 194cm (6'4)

colocaciones en suspensión man!!

jjjj

I think that they could be to play with the opposite arm

Шведы тренят по 2 часа - перерыв на обед и снова 2 часа. Изнурительно но это дает свои плоды ))

Да, согласен. Новый уровень! На сразу 👣

25 years old 👴vs 21 years old. 🐿

Well, they've been playing like this for years.

Sometimes you just aren't at your best, have an off game and there's no real explanation. Plus the Swedes were AWESOME

You are aware that those are highlights and not a replay?

Sorry but how is that bad? All other ball sports do it. I dont watch volleyball and I guess they changed the rules recently. The game evolves with the rules and people will figure out how to deal with it. You mean before you couldnt fake smash to pass?

@@twotidoce yes, hand setting was a bit stricter, hence you had to play on more psychological level and also experience came into play. You could see older players being right there with the youngsters. Now this jump setting will end veterans in the sport. This is changing the nature of the game. Is it more spectacular? I think yes. But you will see, soon everything will be just trying to tip from the second with two hands. End of the sport as we know it

@@truthwizard ah i see, but is that bad? Apparently the swedes are pretty short for the sport so wouldnt that open up room for shorter players that has to rely on athletics and skill rather than being tall to be competetive? More competition means higher level of play. Do you not want to see new talent succeed? The new guys will become veterans just like the last ones but with the new rule set. Fyi im swedish so im a bit bias.
