In the womenâs competition, Katja Stam and Emi van Driel proved utterly dominant. After going unbeaten yesterday, they continued that streak today, an impressive display by the two Dutch players. The final round had everything, including a spectacular chest dig followed by a tomahawk winner from the Australian duo Clancy and Fejes, the kind of play you only see in Queen & King of the Court.
In the end, Katja Stam claimed her fourth QKOTC title, joining an elite group that includes David Ă hman, Jonatan Hellvig and Clemens Wickler. In the menâs competition, the home crowd was able to enjoy local heroes Issa Batrane and Frederick Bialokoz right up to the end.
The pair received loud and enthusiastic support throughout the arena, but in the final round they had to watch the French duo Calvin Aye and Teo Rotar battle it out with Italyâs Alex Ranghieri and Manuel Alfieri. Both teams delivered spectacular plays, the French relying on their explosiveness, while in the end it was the Italian volleyball craftsmanship that proved decisive. Ranghieri and Alfieri, who are the reigning Italian champions, took the title, marking a remarkable achievement in their season.
