The Cuban beach volleyball duo Noslen Díaz – Jorge Luis Alayo won today two sets to nil against the difficult Brazilian team, in their second presentation at the Olympic Games, which will be held in this city until August 11.

In the central court, located near the Eiffel Tower, they dominated the first set 21-13 by force of attacks and effectiveness in the blocks, against the couple André Loyola-George Souto in the continuation of the preliminaries of group D.

The Antilleans had the advantage in the first set almost all the time, unlike the second, which was closer and in which they had to «throw in» spikes and blocks to close the scoreboard 21-18.

This was a complicated duel for the silver medallists at the Pan American Games in Santiago de Chile 2023, taking into account that the South Americans are in second place in the world ranking of the sport; but they only needed 37 minutes to win.

On Saturday Diaz and Alayo dominated two sets to nil against Americans Andrew Benesh and Miles Partain, in Cuba’s beach volleyball debut at the summer event.

On the first of August they are scheduled to face the Moroccan pair Mohammed Abicha- Zouheir Elgraoui, also members of group D.
