Gstaad 2022: A Significant Event in the 2022 Beach Pro Tour

Gstaad was one of the Elite16 stops on the 2022 Beach Pro Tour. The event featured a strong international field and provided valuable ranking points as teams continued their campaigns during the season.

For Duda and Ana Patrícia, the tournament came only weeks after their world championship victory in Rome. Their Gstaad title therefore represented a continuation of their outstanding run during the middle part of the 2022 season.

For Chile, the men's victory by Marco and Esteban Grimalt was an important milestone. The cousins defeated a strong Czech team in the final after recovering from an earlier pool-stage defeat.

Why This 2022 Event Is Still Worth Keeping

Although the Gstaad tournament was held in 2022, it remains useful as a historical record of international beach volleyball. The event marked important results for both Brazil and Chile and formed part of the first season of the Beach Pro Tour.

The women's victory was especially notable because Duda and Ana Patrícia followed their world championship success with another Elite16 title in Gstaad. The men's title gave Chile another major international result through the Grimalt cousins.

This article has therefore been updated as a historical results guide rather than treated as a current event report.
