    Robert Taht talks ahead about EuroVolley Men, while Lewie, Ci and Matt review EuroBeachVolley and the women’s competition

    Fresh from EuroBeachVolley, Lewie talks through his Viennese experience with Ci and Matt, looking at the incredible achievement of the Beach Volley Vikings Anders Mol and Christian Sørum who followed their Olympic Gold in Tokyo with a fourth straight European crown – a new record for consecutive titles.  The team also make their predictions for who Lewie will be commentating on at the EuroVolley women’s semi-finals, as well as their picks for who will top the men’s podium. Dave also has a call with Estonian Outside Hitter Robert Taht, who was selected as one of the EuroVolley Ambassadors with his country hosting Pool D.  Don’t worry Estonian fans, this was recorded a while back so any references to recovering from surgery are long out of date.  They talk through the excitement of EuroVolley coming to town, why he wants to do his talking on the court and Dave has a go at some of the local lingo.
