Rimser/Plesiutschnig are aiming for a much bigger stage at the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships in their home turf in Vienna, Austria
Pletsiutschnig had a shoulder injury in the 2013 season and as a result, she could not play in many tournaments and resorted to watching her former partner Katharina Schutzenhofer play with Barbara Hansel in Poland.
Two years later, she also watched from a distance when the World Championships were held in the Netherlands. Now, she cannot wait to be part of the action herself at Vienna 2017.
“I was watching the live streams all the time,” Pletsiutschnig said. “It’s an absolute incentive and we want to represent our country the best way possible.”
Rimser/Pletsiutschnig want to gain as much competition experience as possible when they play at the World Tour events in Moscow, Gstaad, Baden and Porec after also participating in the Rio de Janeiro World Tour event last week.
