Final of the women's tournament (Highlights)

See the final of women's tournament in the World Championships, in which China's players Chen Xue and Zhang Xi defeated 2:1 Germans Britta Buthe and Karla Borger. The awarding ceremony reflected the great diversity seen throughout the tournament. With Paraguay, Thailand and Vanuatu making their debuts in at the FIVB World Championships, the flags raised in time with the anthems came from three different continents with Brazil having claimed the bronze medal through Lili and Seixas’ win over USA’s April Ross and Whitney Pavlik earlier in the day. Poland has an extensive history of hosting beach volleyball events with the Myslowice Open and the Mazury Orlen Grand Slam in Stare Jablonki having been regular tournaments on the World Tour. It has also hosted the 2011 FIVB Volleyball World League Finals in Gdansk and will host the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship in 2014.
