Karlovy Vary hosted a 1997 Challenger where the gold medal match featured future Olympians from Norway and Switzerland. The Swiss Laciga brothers (Martin and Paul) claimed their first international title by defeating Vegard Hoidalen and Jorre Kjemperud of Norway for the gold medal. Brno i st heCz echRepubl i c’ ssecond largest city. At the same time, it represents the centre of the province of Moravia, one of the historic lands of the Czech Crown. It is situated at the crossroads of ancient trade routes which have joined the North and South European civilizations for centuries. Brno is situated in a picturesque countryside, surrounded on three sides by wooded hills and opening to the Southern Moravian lowlands to the south of the city. In the north, the city is guarded by the foothills of the Drahany and Bohemian-Moravian ranges. The city itself lies in the basin of the Svratka and Svitava rivers, somewhat to the north of their conflux at elevations ranging from 190 to 425 meters (620 to 1395 feet) above sea level. From east to west it spans about 22 km (13 miles). The river Svratka cuts a 29-km (17-mile) path through the city and is the main supply for the Kninicky Dam Lake, a popular recreation area in the city's northwest corner. The Svitava River flows through the city for about 13 km (eight miles). Geographically, Brno is part of the Danube Basin and has many historical ties to the Austrian capitol of Vienna, which is 110 km (68 miles) to the south. Thanks to its location between the Bohemian-Moravian Hills and the Southern Moravian lowlands, Brno enjoys a very pleasant, moderate climate, ideal for recreation and everyday living. The Beach Club Brno - KACATA is very active in the area.

July 27-30, Ukraine Challenger, Kiev, Men (July 30), $30,000 - Kiev, the capital and the largest city of Ukraine, hosts a FIVB Challenger for the fifth-time where teams from Latvia have dominated the competition. In the previous four events, Latvia has captured five of the 12 medals, including a 2004 gold medal by Janis Grinbergs and Andris Krumins. Grinbergs has four total Kiev medals with bronzes in 2001, 2002 and 2005. Krumins claimed a 2005 silver medal with Ruslas Sorokins after a 2001 bronze and 2004 gold with Grinbergs. Brazilians won the first two Kiev events with Ukr ai ne’ sMy kol aBabi chandOleg Nikolaev the 2005 gold medalists. Kiev is located in the north central part of the country on the Dnieper River. With more that two-million inhabitants, Kiev is an industrial, scientific, educational and cultural center in Eastern Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education institutions, world famous historical landmarks. The city has an extensive infrastructure and highly developed system of public transport, including a Kiev Metro system. During its history, Kiev, one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe, passed through several stages of great prominence and relative obscurity. The city is considered to have been founded in the fifth century as a trading post in the land of Early East Slavs. It gradually acquired eminence as the center of the East Slavic civilization, becoming in the tenth to twelfth centuries a political and cultural capital of Rus', a medieval East Slavic state. Completely destroyed during the Mongol invasion in 1240, the city lost most of its influence for the centuries to come. It was a provincial capital of marginal importance in the outskirts of the territories controlled by its powerful neighbors: first the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, followed by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and, finally, Russia. The city prospered again during the Russian industrial revolution in the late 19th century. After the turbulent period following the Russian Revolution of 1917, from 1921 onwards Kiev was an important city of Soviet Ukraine, and, since 1934, its capital. During World War II, the city was destroyed again, almost completely, but quickly recovered in the post-war years becoming the third most important city of the USSR. It now remains the capital of Ukraine, independent since 1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Italian men captured four of the 15 FIVB Challenger/Satellite stops in 2005, including a Casablanca gold medal for Diego Nota and Giorgio Domenghini. Eugenio Amore and Riccardo Fenili won three Challenger/Satellite stops for Italy in 2005. Casablanca is a city in western Morocco, located on the Atlantic Ocean. With a population of 2.95 million and with a developing tourism industry, Casablanca is Morocco's biggest city; also it is the chief port, and is thus considered the economic capital, although Morocco's official capital and seat of government is Rabat. The area which is today Casablanca was settled by Berbers by at least the seventh century. In the 19th century, the area's population began to grow as Casablanca became a major supplier of wool to the booming textile industry in Britain and shipping traffic increased (the British, in return, began importing Morocco's now famous national drink, gunpowder tea). Casablanca was an important strategic port during World War II and hosted the Anglo-American Summit in 1943. Morocco gained independence from France on 2nd March 1956. In 1958, Casablanca hosted a round of the Formula One world championship at the Ain-Diab circuit. In 1983, Casablanca hosted the Mediterranean Games.

A town of 5,000 inhabitants, Vaduz is located along the Rhine. It has art collections, a postal museum, and a lively tourist industry. The Principality of Liechtenstein is a tiny, doubly landlocked country in Western Europe, bordered by Switzerland to its west and by Austria to its east. Mountainous, it is a winter sports resort, though it is perhaps best-known as a tax haven.

Turku has one of the largest Finland-Swedish populations in the country. Due to its location, the Port of Turku is one of the busiest seaports in Finland. Turku has a cultural identity as Finland's historical centre, as it was the largest city in the country and served as its capital from its foundation in the 13th century to 1812. It also hosted the county's first university, the Academy of Åbo. Turku is considered Finland's 'second city' by some, while others assign the title to Tampere.

Càgliari is the capital of the island of Sardinia, an autonomous region of Italy. Cagliari, with more than 170,000 inhabitants, is called Casteddu (literally, the castle) in the Sardinian language. From the 1870s, with the unification of Italy, the city experienced a century of rapid growth. Many outstanding buildings were erected by the end of the 18th century during the office of Mayor Ottone Bacaredda. Cagliari has one of the longest beaches in an Italian town. The Poetto beach stretches for 13 km and is famous for its white fine-grained sand. Cagliari is an ideal location for sailing, hiking and outdoor sports. It has a mild climate, often refreshed by northern-west winds. Cagliari has some peculiar gastronomic traditions. Many dishes are based on the wide variety of fish and sea food available. Although it is possible to trace influences from Spanish gastronomy, Cagliaritanian food has a distinctive and unique character. Excellent wines are also produced in the nearby vineyards of the Campidano plain. NOTE - Italy and San Marino ranks behind Brazil (49 events) and France (35) in hosting FIVB events (34) with 18 SWATCH stops (11 men and seven women) and 16 Satellite stops (nine men and seven women).

Subsequently, the organization of a first Constitutive Congress was entrusted to the President of the French Volleyball Federation, Paul Libaud, and it took place in Paris April 1820, 1947 with the participation of 14 Federations. The FIVB was born! Libaud was elected first President of the FIVB shortly afterwards and the headquarters were established in Paris, where they remained for the first 37 years until 1984. The first World Championships were organized in 1949 for men and in 1952 for women and have since remained the biggest event in Volleyball. In 1957 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) included Volleyball as a medal sport in the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo while Beach Volleyball made its Olympic debut at the 1996 Atlanta Games. A big turning point for the FIVB came in 1984 when President Libaud, by then in his late 70's and highly acclaimed for having founded the Federation and making it a significant reality on the world sports stage, resigned. Dr. Rubén Acosta Hernandez was elected new President to succeed him at the World Congress in Long Beach, California. The FIVB moved its headquarters to Lausanne, Switzerland the same year bringing it closer to the IOC. Very soon after Dr. Acosta became Vol l ey bal l ’ sambassador ,pr omoting the sport in worldwide competitions held in the five Confederations (Asia, Africa, Europe, South America and Norceca). BEACH VOLLEYBALL - Born in the depression days of the 1920s on the sandy beaches of Santa Monica, California, Beach Volleyball has become a multi million-dollar extravaganza and an Olympic sport that has captivated players in more than 90 countries. From those first matches, the game caught on 10 years later in France, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Latvia before slotting perfectly into the Californian lifestyle in the 1950s and the pulsating 1960s, taking its place alongside surfing. The United States and Brazil played a major role in transforming "Beach" into a professional sport in the1970s and 1980s, but it was the hard work of the FIVB President Dr. Rubén Acosta and Beach Volleyball stars such as Sinjin Smith, Karch Kiraly and Randy Stoklos that helped establish Beach Volleyball internationally in the 1980s and 1990s and become a full medal sport at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. At the same time the FIVB Beach Volleyball International Circuit evolved from the World Series to the World Tour and exploded in popularity in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The 2004 and 2005 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour boasted more than 50 major events encompassing Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas with over US $12-million in prize money. · · · · · · · · · · · · 1920s - The birth of Beach Volleyball on the beaches of Santa Monica, California. 1947 - The first official two-man Beach Volleyball tournament held at State Beach, California with no prize money. 1948 - The first tournament with prizes was played at State Beach were the top teams were rewarded crates of Pepsi. 1974 - The first money tournament was held where the US$1,500 San Diego Open attracted 250 spectators. 1987 - The first FIVB international competition started called "The World Championship" in Rio de Janeiro. It later changed its name to the World Series in 1989-90 and the World Tour in 1996. 1993 - The International Olympic Committee recognizes Beach Volleyball as an Olympic Games discipline. 1996 - First appearance (and sold out) at the Atlanta Olympic Games. 2000 - Beach Volleyball at the Sydney Olympic Games attracts 180,000 spectators and billions of TV viewers. 2001 - More than 120,000 spectators attend five days of competition at the World Championship in Austria. 2003 - The World Tour includes a four-leg "Grand Slam" integrated tournament within a tournament, challenging the top teams to win "The Slam" and go down in history as truly great players. Berlin, Marseille, Klagenfurt and Los Angeles host Grand Slams with US$300,000 in prize money for each tournament 2004 - A record 27 tournaments, including a three-leg Grand Slam (Berlin, Marseille and Klagenfurt) and the Athens Olympic Games with record prize money of US$5,480,000.. 2005 - A record 31 tournaments, including Grand Slam stops in Berlin, Stavanager, Paris and Klagenfurt.

From the beginning in 1989 of three legs of men's competition in Brazil, Italy and Japan involving 40 athletes from seven countries, the international Beach Volleyball Tour introduced women's play three years later before the world-wide circuit was revitalized and the World Championship Series was born in 1995. At that point legs and prize money stood at 17 and US$2.4million, respectively, thus prompting the transformation into the now famous World Tour. The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour embraced 22 stops split between men and women in 2003 with over 700 athletes from more than 50 countries and a record prize money pool nearing US$5-million, including Grand Slam stops in Berlin, Mar sei l l e,Kl agenf ur tandLosAngel es.

I n February, 1993, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samarach, along with Atlanta Committee Olympic Games President Billy Payne and other IOC members attended the FIVB Beach Volleyball Finals in Rio de Janeiro. There they saw the excitement that the sport could generate as over 140,000 fans jammed the stadium for the one-week tournament. As a result, the most important event in the history of beach volleyball occurred on September 24, 1993. On that day, at the 101st IOC session in Monte Carlo, the sport of beach volleyball was admitted as a medal discipline for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. The sport had reached its Olympic era. ECO FRIENDLY BEACH VOLLEYBALL! - The FIVB and Global Sports Alliance have joined forces for the third year to help raise environment awareness through sport. The ecoflag symbolizes the commitment to the environment of sports-lovers and everyone who knows the importance and irreplaceable nature of the water, air and greenery that surrounds us. The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event in Gstaad, Switzerland is setting the example by players using bicycles for local transport in the picturesque alpine town! Hop, Step and Jump to a better environment GSA's, approach to the environmental problem is unique and practical: · · · First (Hop) is promoting awareness through the Ecoflag. "We can enjoy volleyball because of clean air and water, thus the environment. Let's make sure that we keep the environment clean for future generations." Second (Step) is promoting the spontaneous actions on the environment. The GSA has introduced advanced initiatives on sports and environmental issues, such as asking sport fans to take spontaneous actions on the environment. They make this introduction through the 2003 Global Forum for Sports and Environment in Tokyo where FIVB president Dr. Rubén Acosta received the Prince Takamondo Memorial Prize for environmental excellence. Third (Jump) is spreading this awareness and actions to the 1 billion sport enthusiasts around the world.

The two teams of two players each must score points by placing the ball over (without touching) the net and into the opponent's court. The ball can touch any part of the body and each team has three alternate hits between the two players to return the ball. Other rules are: · · · · · · · · · · Except for the World Championships, each tournament for each gender features a single-elimination qualifier and a 32-team double-elimination Main Draw. The World Championships will feature a 48-team Main Draw for each gender with pool play determining the lineup for the 32-team single-elimination draw. The match is won by the team that wins two sets. A set is won by the team that scores 21 points first with a minimum margin of two (except in the deciding third set). In the case of a 20-20 tie, play is continued until a two-point lead is reached. In the case of the sets being tied 1-1, the deciding set is played to 15 points (not the usual 21) with a minimum lead of two points. A team winning a rally scores a point - The Rally Point System. The serving player must be alternated every time there is a change in possession. There are NO determined positions on the court. Two players can touch the ball at the same time, but when two team mates do, it counts as two hits (except if blocking). If there is a "held ball" by two opponents over the net it is not considered a fault. A player may enter the opponent's court provided they don't interfere with the opponent's play. A player cannot catch or throw the ball. Avenue de la Gare 12 P.O. Box, 1001 Lausanne, Switzerland..........................................................................
