USA’s Celebration Doubled as Women’s Beach Volleyball Duos Obliterate Opponents to Join Men’s Pairs in the World Championship Quarterfinals

Two women’s beach volleyball duos recently broke past their opponents to secure a quarter-final berth for themselves in the World Championship. The championship being held in Mexico witnessed the raw power of the American women as they utilized high offensive skills to overcome their rivals.

USA’s Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss, along with Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes won big against their opponents. A social media post revealed that the US duos cleared the round of 16 stages to further their winning chariot. This gave America a huge boost as the women also made it to the quarter-finals along with the men’s teams.

Nuss and Kloth register a flawless beach volleyball win

The duo of Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth has been making headlines ever since they teamed up together. The pair faced Brazil in the round of 16 to advance to the quarter-finals. While Brazilian beach volleyball players Agatha and Rebecca were well-prepped for the face-off, Kloth and Nuss reduced them to shreds. The Brazilians failed to hold off the mighty offense of the Americans. 

Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth heavily defeated their Brazilian counterparts and didn’t allow them a moment’s rest. The US duo continuously mounted pressure on their opponents which made them commit error after error. In fact, while the attacking of Kloth and Nuss yielded 29 points, the Brazilian side conceded 15 points via errors. The American women bagged a clean sweep against Brazil as they dispatched them for 2-0. 

The pair had overpowered the Canadian beach volleyball team in a similar fashion and earned a clean sweep over them as well. Another women’s duo from the US, Kelly Cheng, and Sara Hughes also pressured the defense of their opponents. However, they also showed some elegant defense to dominate the beach volleyball team of Latvia.

Cheng and Hughes fired on both ends against Latvia

Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes displayed a quite well-rounded and balanced gameplay compared to Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth. While Cheng and Hughes also pressured their rivals with sheer attack power, they also scored points via blocks. The Latvian opposition yielded 14 points owing to errors and also had their kills blocked four times. The duo also scored points off service aces and received no answer for five of their services.

While Cheng and Hughes displayed excellent beach volleyball gameplay, the Latvians also put up a good show. The Latvian team had won the first set against the US, but the American women powered through and won back-to-back sets to seal their win. With both a strong offense and a well-balanced team, the US stands a strong chance to win the World Championship. Will the US women be able to bring the 2023 championship home as well as ace the Paris Olympics 2024?
