A1 Grand Slam presented in Klagenfurt Austria

The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour returns to Klagenfurt, the Carinthian capital city, for the 10th-straight season as the event will feature both men?s and women?s competition for the sixth consecutive year.  Since 1996, the event has grown into one of Austria's most successful sporting occasions.  It was the site of the 2001 SWATCH-FIVB World Championships when a leading Austrian magazine voted the Lake Woerthersee Beach Volleyball stop their "best event" ahead of the world-renowned downhill ski race in Kitzbuehel and the Formula One Grand Prix.
