Mexico’s Juan Virgen and Lombardo Ontiveros totally profited from the home advantage and settled for gold-medal victory at the 2012 Toluca Beach Volleyball Tournament.
The final showdown of the 6th NORCECA Beach Circuit Tournament took place this past Sunday. Mexico University Campus hosted all the action and created an excellent sporty environment for the three-day competition.
In the final encounter, Mexicans were challenged by archrivals from Cuba. The pairing of Sergio Gonzalez and Karell Piña crossed ways with Virgen/Ontiveros. Both teams had a great urge to secure the top slot of the tournament. Nonetheless, only one of them could go up and marched away with gold. Taking full advantage of the familiar conditions, Mexican Virgen/Ontiveros settled for 2-0 (21-15, 21-19) victory and claimed the gold-ware. Cubans put up a valiant effort and used many different tactics, but could not dismantle the power of hosts. In the end, they had to be contended with the second-place finish.
