Overview
- Carol Solberg and Rebecca took bronze at the Beach Volleyball World Championships by beating fellow Brazilians Thâmela and Vic 2–0 (21–18, 22–20) in Adelaide.
- Both Brazilian pairs had reached the semifinals, where Thâmela/Vic fell to Latvia’s Tina Graudina/Anastasija Samoilova and Carol/Rebecca lost to the United States’ Kristen Nuss/Taryn Brasher.
- In her post-match interview, Solberg celebrated by saying in English and Portuguese that “Bolsonaro is in jail,” drawing fresh attention to her history of political statements.
- Jair Bolsonaro remains in preventive custody ordered by STF minister Alexandre de Moraes after authorities reported an attempt to tamper with his electronic ankle bracelet using a soldering iron.
- Olympic champions Duda and Ana Patrícia withdrew earlier because of injury, and the men’s title went to Sweden’s David Ähman/Jonatan Hellvig over compatriots Jacob Hölting Nilsson/Elmer Andersson, while Brazil retains its status as the most decorated nation at the Worlds.
