Gold Match - Carol/Rebecca vs. Stam/Schoon | Highlights | Rio de Janeiro 2026 #BeachProTour

Welcome or Bem-vindo to the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Elite out here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. And that is a magnificent look at this final match from Rio de Janeiro has begun. Neither team has dropped a set. Someone will have to hear the shoulder dig from Scone. And Hebeka. Excellent. Deep serve there from Stom. And Carroll. That is a wonderful shot. Her angle and running a late, late line. Defense. Good pick up there for Hebeka. And the touch for Hebeka is picked up from Scone. And there is the on two from Katja Stom. To get the Netherlands kind of broken. Still too low. Going a little bit wide. Now Hebeka stepping into the seam serve. And Katja Stom baiting that line. Same serve that Raissa did at Carroll. I think it would be the one that they could, that one. On two again from Katja Stom. She is three for three when going on two. So good. Laser focus for Katja Stom. Now her first poke from Raissa Scone. Few in the game better. Found a way to come back to win. No deficit. It is too big to be comfortable with them. And that is. Raissa is one of the best defensive players in the world. Up there with Kristen Cruz. Another back set here for Carroll. Stom makes the play to extend it. And Scone is there again. Set is inside and off. But somehow Raissa works the magic. And to the other side it is not. Feels like Karen and Rebecca are always rushing. You know, their speed is too fast. But if you don't get there on time then you don't have a good vision. Open net here for Scone. There is that beautiful pull day from Carroll. On two again from Stom. And she remains unstoppable. Make it five. In full control at 13-8. Like you said, they are playing like Plavins was playing. I think it was more on the defensive end for Carroll. The stone hand also has the soft touch from Rebecca on two. Scone moving the defense around with the back set. And she is bringing a lot of power tonight. She is smiling. But she is a killer with a smile. Now trying Stom for the first time. A little bit of trouble here for the lefty. And that is a wicked wrist away swing. Wow. The fantastic mother of dragons Carroll. Trying to start a comeback here in this gold medal match. Beautiful. Just a beautiful cut shot from Raisa Scone. Feels to me that Rebecca has to wait long. Raisa takes such a late look that if you move early at all she is going to see it. That is tremendous. She has all four corners. And then even that little dropper in the seam. Rebecca is on two. How calmly she put that in the corner. Maybe the dropper. Working Stom now. Get the overpass. It is a big opportunity. Raisa is at the net. This would be a huge save for the Netherlands. And they have got it. How about the soft block from Raisa Scone. Just flipping that play out for Raisa. And Rebecca, she has got all the pokes too. Trying to give Rebecca a chance at it. But that brings us to our first set point for the Netherlands. Oh my goodness. What a set from Rebecca Jones. Just over the net. And so Katja cleans it up. So, Raisa, keep doing what you are doing until they change. Now they are changing. Going short on Stom. They had one break. It is not as if Rebecca and Carol are serving just easy free balls. That was a nasty short serve that put Katja down. And Katja puts that one down. A huge block. Good right hand there from Stom. Closing down the line. And that is excellent down the seam from Carol Salgado. Big help from Katja Stom by pulling on that. Big help. The momentum back. Because Katja and Raisa are doing so good. Wow. What a serve from Katja Stom. It is another big start for the Netherlands of this match. Now out of the middle is Carol. And the cut shot goes down for the kill. Valuable side out. And Scone. She's bringing a lot of snaps and power to this gold medal match. This is the most I've seen Scone hit in a match all year long. Scone is on it. And there's the high poke. And it's perfect. If you don't do 14 more, you're not going to have your line again. Let's see if it will be a cut shot. It's a cut shot. And wouldn't you know it. Coach and Rebecca are on to something. Stom just goes up and over the top of Carol for a perfect tie line. On these tournaments. Best I've seen them play, not just in this tournament, but all season long. All season long. They have been phenomenal. Raisa is there again with an athletic play from Carol. And Stom is just so smart. First set. And there's the broken ankles. Raisa running line. Carol going cut. Too much drop. Carol bringing that heat. It's too much heat. And Stom sees the double line. Carves into the angle. You're not happy with that serve. Forgetting about celebrating the points that she made. There's that back set that worked well earlier today. A lot of heat. Rebecca in transition. Puts it away. And I kind of feel that she needs to use that energy to receive on these float serves. No struggle there. It's perfect. And Stom just says so smart. She's not challenging Carol's block. She's just going high and over. Carol agreeing with older sis. Wants this one at Raisa. The on two from Stom is blocked but covered. And the on two again this time. No block for it. Sometimes to win a gold medal, you need a little bit of luck. Not a whole lot of breaks going the way of Brazil right now. Set seems a little bit low. Easy pick up for Raisa. I thought there was a touch. And there's another poke kill from Raisa's scone. She's a magician. And there's a little bit of magic. A block at the on two from Stom. Going deep at Stom and it's trouble. What a set. A magnificent set from Raisa's scone. And Stom doing the right thing. Stom on two. Just lofts it perfectly. Over top. First elite gold medal since 2023 in Doha. Stom's on two. Sails long. Match point number three for the Netherlands. And they won't need a side out. The missed serve is in to the net. And it is a gold medal for Katja Stom and Raisa's scone. Who finished the Rio elite without dropping a single set. Good job.
