The Zuiderpark crowd in The Hague crowned a seven-week marathon with trips and tournaments for young sand volleyball comets
The Argentinian winners of the European Union and the 2015 laureates, Latvian Janis Smedin and Aleksanders Samoilovs final and thus makes Norwegian gold for the first time since 1997.
– Now we can not wait to go home and think about what happened at during the last two weeks. Let it flow, says Mol to Aftenposten
It is no wonder that the Norwegian duo is tired. For coaches (and the father of Anders), Kåre Mol has set up a massive program for volleyball talents in the weeks leading up to the takeover of gold in the Netherlands.
June, they played the house of Norway at Strandvik in Hordaland. Then tournaments in Austria, the Czech Republic, Portugal, before the trial of the Swiss Gstaad ends with a surprising gold.
Wanted to test the wear and tear
That they have come a long way in this tournament fought a bit. The duo had planned to go to the Netherlands from Switzerland and start downloading EM a lot before.
– The victory over there meant we had little time in the Netherlands before the European Championship. We did not think that they should go that far, says Kåre Moi.
He used the marathon plan to prepare for what's going on. Because there will be many trips further. In addition to physical fatigue, it can be a good idea to travel a lot too. You can just get bored.
– We used it as "oxygen test" to test the wear of the group. Know how hard it was. It's remarkable that they get the best in the end, says Mol.
– It was not risky to do it just before the Euro?
– You can say that we took a risk, but that is for long-term goals. We had lived to be number five. We dare to try, says the coach.
Solid Carrot
Christian Sørum of Rælingen knows his team mate for five or six years, and they were able to get acquainted with the rules of the social game on the other that the trip went well. 19659002] – Normally, we would have had some breaks between tournaments, so that took physically and mentally. You might have thought that you are bored, but we will not be bored. But it takes physically. One must learn to wear when to wear, "says Sørum
– In fact, we had almost no impression of winning the European Championships. There have been so many matches. He's been in a fight to fight, win, meet and beat another team, he says.
The win makes the August duo get a solid carrot in the form of the World Tour in Hamburg will be the tournament in Vienna. Later, he will travel to the United States, China and the United States before the start of Christmas. Ergo will be many more trips in the future.
In other words: The price of 191,000 (on the other hand) came from the Netherlands.
The phone vibrated all night
– It definitely helps. But there is no level of tennis on the sums yet. There are small numbers in relation to that. We are happy to accept it so that we can invest in even more effort, "explains Anders Mol.
– Can you bet one hundred percent?
– This year at least. The support of the connection covers the most, so we go more. He must have results in the top five to be able to live well, he says.
Private and funded funds were important. That's why, in addition to the team, the family was on the thanksgiving list. The congratulations were paid Sunday night when gold was a fact. It was only then that Mol realized how important it was.
– I was completely shocked, I could not count. The phone was just vibrating, it was completely beyond, Mol said.
SMS and congratulations for Facebook and Instagram kept the phone warm.
– This is completely wild. It never stopped. We appreciate, it's nice. Everyone must be answered when I come home. It will take time, but it is important to thank everyone who participated in this little adventure, he continues.
Video Analysis at 6am
Now the question is how to complete it. The Tokyo Olympics in 2020 is a goal. In fact, Kåre Mol, coach and volleyball coach, was touring the Japanese capital with "andrelaget" Mathias Berntsen and Hendrik Mol (his son) playing in the tournament.
There he should see the Japanese heat, which he did not look forward to.
Especially not after bed late and rose for the video analysis meeting at 6 am …
– I will check how the heat, traffic and chaos are gone. It's good to know, he says.
Of course, he lived it as very big when the "sons" became champions in the Netherlands. For Christian Sørum, he considers him a son.
– You almost became a father too! But then, I look at myself as your coach. I'm not easily touched, but I was touched then, says Father Mol.
For the duo, it's not gone yet.
– Unreal
– Currently, I think it's another tournament. I do not think there was any EM. There was no media pressure. It's okay, he said.
– Mix that it has not increased. One of our strengths that we do not think about what we play, so as not to put more pressure on us. The goal is just to play volleyball. I think it works, continues the champion.
– Unreal. I've won gold EM as a junior, but that will of course be something else, "says Sørum.
