Dutch team defeats Brazilians Stein and George for bronze

Brazilian beach volleyball player André Stein and his temporary partner George lost the bronze medal match at the Gstaad World Tour stop on Sunday. They were defeated by the Dutch team Boermans and de Groot. Stein, who announced a sabbatical from professional beach volleyball in January, returned to competition for this event. The pair lost in three sets after a strong performance throughout the tournament, including wins against top teams. The gold medal was won by Qatar's Cherif and Ahmed. Stein had previously stated his break was to reflect and reconnect with his motivations for playing the sport.
