Beach Voleyball. Grand Slam Swatch FIVB World Tour-2010

With competition during the Russian Day holiday celebration, the second of six Grand slam events on the 2010 SWATCH FIVB World Tour will be held in Moscow, Russia June 7-14 at Victory Park, where men’s and women’s teams from Brazil, China, Germany and the United States have captured gold medals the past two seasons.

June 7-14, 2010

VIP weekend (June 12, 13, 14)

With US$600,000 in prize money being available for the world’s Beach Volleyball players, the Moscow Grand Slam will conclude on a weekend when Russia celebrates a holiday of national unity. While Russian Day is June 12, the holiday weekend starts the day before and concludes on the same day as the men’s SWATCH finale June 14. 

The 2010 event is the fifth SWATCH FIVB World Tour event in Moscow as the initial events were men’s-only stops in 1998 and 1999. The international Beach Volleyball circuit returned to the Russian capital in 2008 when the pairs of Phil Dalhausser/Todd Rogers of the United States and Chen Xue/Xi Zhang captured the men’s and women’s gold medals, respectively.
