Baku beach volleyball winners hope for more medals

Beach volleyball winners hope for more medals

Switzerland's gold-medal-winning beach volleyball duo Nicole Eiholzer and Nina Betschart have said that they hope more medals are to come.

The 19-year-olds won in three sets against Austria's Lena Maria Plesiutschnig and Katharina Schutzenhofer at the Beach Arena in Baku.

"I think we stayed really calm and we tried to put a lot of pressure on them to serve well and push them into some difficult situations," Eiholzer told reporters.

"We still have to practice a lot and train every day to become better. So we won't change a lot of things. I hope it is not the last medal."

The gold was Switzerland's seventh of the Games, and they currently sit fifth in the overall medal table.
