Beach volleyball player Aleksandr Somoilov: ”After the Satellite tournament last year many athletes from other countries admitted that they were positively surprised by the large amount of fans, because some of the Grand Slam championships do not have so many fans as they were in Jurmala last year. The energy and support from our fans was very important when we played in our home country. Therefor I invite everyone to the Jurmala Masters championship, where you can spend splendid time with you family by the sea, while enjoying the athletic show!”
