Swedish beach volleyball players David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig are hotly anticipating the Olympics.

In Ostrava, Czech Republic, the pair took their third consecutive win on the world tour after defeating the Dutch pair Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot.

The Swedish world champions won in two straight sets with a score of 21–19, 21–18.

This is the Swedes' third consecutive win at the highest level on the world tour, the so-called elite16 competitions, following earlier successes in Portugal and Mexico.

In addition, the Swedes took revenge for a loss in their previous meeting with the Dutch pair.

The Swedes were down 4-8 in the first set, but took a timeout and then turned the match around.

In the semifinals, the Swedish pair defeated the reigning Olympic champions Anders Mol and Christian Sørum, Norway, in two straight sets.

The Norwegian pair made their first competition since the beginning of March, when Mol had surgery for a foot injury.

The Olympic tournament in Paris starts on July 27.
