Stavanger 2003 – 7

I just add a few images from the great final match. USA against Brazil, as many times before, but another Brazilian team this time, Ana Paula and Sandra Pires, and they ended up on the top podium! Misty May and Kerry Walsh from USA was beaten this time, but came second, and on third place another world top team, from Brazil, Shelda and Adriana Behar.
For me, this year was the last with film in my camera. So from now on, I don’t have to scan every single image, because I followed the crowd and got myself a digital camera. For a photographer, everything became so much easier.

Stavanger 2006 – 6

I counted on finishing 2003 now, but still have so many images left, that there will have to be a no 7 also, from Stavanger 2003.

Stavanger 2003 – 5

This time images of both men and women. First a few ones from the final, where Ricardo/Emanuel from Brazil had to fight hard to beat Martinez/Conde from Argentina. The match took exactly one hour and ended 16-21, 21-16, 15-12.
The womens images are from the beginning of the tournament. There are pictures from Clarke/Gooley, AUS, playing a Norwegian team, and Wang Jie/Ji Linjun, China, also playing a Norwegian team. The Finnish twin sisters Nystrøm are playing Crespo/Esteves from Cuba, and the US team, Jordan/Davis,

Ingen norske brødrepar har nådd så langt sammen som Espen og Kjell Arne Gøranson. Av utenlandske brødre som ble veldig gode, husker vi godt Martin og Paul Laciga fra Sveits, som nådde verdenstoppen sammen . Her er noen bilder av de førstnevnte, som i Stavanger dette året var med i hovedrunden og fikk en 25. plass.
