Players pumped for stunning season finale

We’ve got a very smiley, happy bunch of #TorontoFinals players!

We're sure there will be plenty of fist pumps from Ben Saxton and Chaim Schalk this week.We're sure there will be plenty of fist pumps from Ben Saxton and Chaim Schalk this week.

The Swatch Beach Volleyball FIVB World Tour Finals crash lands in Canada on Tuesday with Toronto hosting an epic season finale at Polson Pier.

The world’s elite players will battle it out for the crown of Swatch Beach Volleyball FIVB World Tour Finals Champion to end yet another stunning past 12 months of action on the sand.

Heroes from the Rio Olympics are present and correct on the beach in Toronto – including both gold medalists – Alison/Bruno of Brazil and Ludwig/Walkenhorst of Germany.

As the countdown to the start of the competition drawers enticingly closer, here’s a look at what the players are posting on their social media channels – and there’s plenty of smiling in pictures taken in front of the iconic Toronto skyline!

First up, important business…Olympic champs Alison/Bruno appear live on Canadian television.

The big question for Saxton/Schalk is: fist pump or chest pump on home sand?

@bensaxton13 and I are gonna go for some fist bumps this week. Check us out at the @swatchmajorseries #TorontoFinals - our first match is Thursday 3:30pm EST.. Also it's free to watch at the Polson Pier and will be on @tsn_official this weekend.
