No celebrations, no long joy. After winning the four-star tournament in Doha, Ondřej Perušič and his partner David Schweiner tried to get to the airport as soon as possible. The goal was to catch a plane to Frankfurt and from there back to the Czech Republic. “We returned a little chaotic at night, which was complicated by ceremonies and unplanned doping controls. But everything went according to plan, “Perušič breathed after returning to Prague. He should meet his partner Schweiner in Tenerife in a week.

They won a historic result for Czech beach volleyball. The Czech men’s pair won the overall four-star tournament for the first time, and in Doha Perušič and Schweiner defeated the Olympic champion or world champion. “Most of the opponents were shocked by our victory. We are not a team that regularly ends in the top four, let alone win the tournament. However, in the last two years, we have shown good results from time to time, so we definitely did not cause a crack, “Perušič claimed.
In the final against the Brazilians Evandra and Gut, the Czech beach volleyball players never lost. This surprised Perusic himself. “The Brazilians did not do well in the final match. I think the wind played a big role, which was usually not the case during the evening matches. He took the opponents’ biggest weapon – a jumping serve. They also adapted worse with the recording, “said Perušič, who was the first to startle after the changed sword.

“I didn’t record David’s last ball very well. Everything was replaced by euphoria or rather a mixture of surprises and enthusiasm that we really succeeded, “he admitted.
The Czech national team is also very pleased with the fact that, thanks to the triumph in Doha, the couple has moved significantly to participate in the Olympic Games in Tokyo. “It was a key result for the qualification. Before this season, we knew that if we did not play a clearly successful tournament, we would have to fight for the Olympics until the end. After Doha, I think that the chances of Olympic participation are very high, “added Perušič.
