Olympic Gold Medalists Withdraw from Malmö Beach Volleyball Semifinal

Olympic gold medalists David Åhman and Jonathan Hellvig withdraw from the semifinals in beach volleyball at the world tour in Malmö, the duo writes in a press release. Hellvig has been injured.

”We are very disappointed that we have to interrupt the tournament.”

Another Swedish pair, Jacob Hölting Nilsson and Elmer Andersson, have advanced to the semifinal and receive a greeting from their compatriots.

”It has been fantastic fun to get to play in front of all the Swedish fans and now we want everyone to cheer on Jacke and Elmer,” Hellvig and Åhman write in the statement.

Instead of a semifinal, it will be an exhibition match at 10:30. David Åhman will play together with Anton Andersson against Belgium's Louis Vandecavaye and Gilles Vandecavaye, who lost their quarterfinal on Saturday.
