Laciga brothers make it a title hat trick in Bilbao
The Swiss brothers Martin and Paul Laciga are celebrating their third victory in Beach Volleyball's European Championships. The Canton Fribourg pair beat the fellow-Swiss duo Heyer and Egger 2-0 (12-11, 12:4).
The all-Swiss final was the culmination of an excellent tournament for the Laciga brothers in Bilbao. They are now looking forward to the Sydney Olympics.
The Olympic draw was made in Bilbao. The Lacigas will face the Czech duo Palinek and Lebl in Sydney’s first round.
The draw also brought comfort in advance: the only point at which the brothers could face the fancied Brazilians is in the final.
