– We had two or three more starts this year, but due to Michał Bryl’s knee problems, we decided to end the season. My partner needs time to rehabilitate and rest. The next season will be pre-Olympic, so very important. That’s why we gave up playing this year – said Bartosz Łosiak.

One of the attractions of the beach volleyball season this year was the Beach Pro Tour Elite tournament, played on the courts of Roland Garros in Paris.

– It was very fun to play. The central courtyard is impressive. It was the most beautiful place I have ever played. The organizers deserve applause. They have definitely worked a lot to prepare this place for competition in our sport. The Olympic tournament was scheduled near the Eiffel Tower, so there was probably no better choice – He admitted Bartosz Losiak.

Bartosz Losiak With Michal Bryl They have started the 2022 season very well. Remember that in March they won the gold medals of the Beach ProTour Challenge in Tlaxcali. It was the first joint success of this duo, formed after reshuffles in the Polish beach team. Our duo beat Araven/Droguett (Chile) 2:0 (21:17, 21:16). They were successful in subsequent starts. They won, among others in Hamburg.

– We started the tournament in Hamburg with qualification. This was due to the failure of the world championship in Rome. We had to make up for lost points. Last season’s best volleyball was shown at the Beach Pro Tour Elite in Hamburg – believes Bartosz Łosiak.

The preliminary schedule announced by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) indicates that the world championship will be played in Tlaxcala Mexico from October 6 to 15, a place well known to our couple. – It is a village where everyone experienced volleyball during the March tournament. The atmosphere was great, the cheers were great. We felt the best there, in every way, of all the places we played in 2022 – he underlined Bartosz Losiak.

Bartosz Łosiak doesn’t remember such a late date for the World Cup, which usually took place in June or July. – This date of the most important event of the season means maintaining a high level of play almost all the time, as the competition for Olympic promotion will enter the decisive phase. You must score for the world ranking. It is true that our starting position is very good, but we must remain vigilant – said our player.

The 2023 season will start at the end of January in Doha. – There will also be a summary of the current one. First, we’ll play in the final competition, which will feature the top eight pairs on this year’s leaderboard, as well as two wildcard duos. It will be a reward for us for our good and regular performances this season. A day later we will start competing in the next Beach Pro Tour series. Currently, the world leaders are very wide and consist of 10-15 pairs. Olympic and world champions Anders Berntsen Mol / Christian Sandlie Sørum of Norway were ahead of her. – completed Bartosz Losiak.
