The performance of Azerbaijani beach volleyball teams at the Universiade held in the Rhine-Ruhr region of Germany will not be limited to the group stage.
Idman.biz's employee sent to Germany reports that the men's pair Nariman Bayramli - Aykhan Abdullayev and the women's tandem Sabina Alizade - Fidan Ahmadkhanova lost all three games they played in the group.
However, according to the regulations of the competition, all teams continue to compete regardless of the result in the group stage. Only the leading couples play for medals, while others fight for lower places.
In the match for 17th-24th places, Alizade and Ahmadkhanova faced the Chilean Marsela and Danae and lost in two sets - 20:22, 16:21.
Bayramli and Abdullayev lost to the Romanian Alb-Muresan duet in the same stage - 18:21, 7:21.
