Youth Olympic Games: Argentina wins bronze in men's beach volleyball

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Argentina's Mauro Zelayeta and Juan Amieva felt very happy after beating Hungary's Bence Streli and Artur Hajos in the men's beach volleyball bronze medal match on Wednesday. They won the match 2-0 (21-15, 21-15).

"The podium was a goal for us from the beginning. We knew we had a good game but we didn't know where we were going to finish," Amieva said.

"When we scored the last point, the only thing that crossed my mind was that I wanted to put the medal around my neck and not have any more sun! I could not digest what we had achieved. It's a real joy," Zelayeta said. Argentina won the men's beach volleyball bronze medal in Nanjin 2014.
