Brazil’s 2016 gold medallists in men’s beach volleyball had a mixed time on Tuesday with Bruno Schmidt winning his pool match while his former partner Alison Cerutti lost at Shiokaze Park. Schmidt, now partnered with Evandro, came through unscathed in a 21-14 21-16 victory over Morocco while Alison and Alvaro Filho lost 24-22 19-21 15-13 to Americans Nicholas Lucena and Philip Dalhausser. “We’re going to play at night, we’re going to play at noon, with a little bit of wind, some rain, so it’s three different conditions. Beach volleyball, it’s like that,” Schmidt said. “They’ve given us a hard time in the past and so just to have our game plan go smoothly is awesome,” Klineman said.
