New champions crowned in Cobram at final Mahindra Australian Beach Volleyball Tour event of 2026 summer
New champions have been crowned at the final leg of the 2026 Mahindra Australian Beach Volleyball Tour in Cobram.
Justin Schumann and Solomon Bushby delivered a solid win against Jed Walker and Oliver Merritt in the men’s gold medal final.
It was the first national tour gold medal for Bushby and Schumann, as individual’s and as a team.
“It’s pretty massive, Solly was my enemy last time I had a chance so now that I’ve teamed up with him he’s helped me out,” Schumann said.
Playing their first summer together as a team, Bushby said they’re pleased with the progress that they’re seeing.
“We messaged at the start of the year about potentially starting a partnership, and it’s gone really, really well,” Bushby said.
“Every event we’ve played at we’ve got a medal, so we’ll just keep it going and we’re really happy with how we’re going,” he said.
Having made the move to Adelaide at the start of the summer, Schumann is certainly reaping the rewards.
“Being in environment, and training with the big boys every day is just unreal,” Schumann said.
“We’ve got the gym sorted, we’ve got the recovery, the facilities… it’s like I’m living out my dream every day,” he said.
The win marks the end of the domestic summer for all teams, with Bushby and Schumann’s attention now turning to the international events.
“We’ll go back to Adelaide, and have a bit of a break this week. But then we’ll be back training with the rest of the crew, preparing for some Asian Challenger events to try and take our game to the next level,” Bushby said.
“This is a really big year for our country in terms of qualifying for LA, so there’s a lot of strategy and preparation to go for the Olympics,” he said.
Jana Milutinovic and Kyla Sanchez won Sanchez’s first ever gold medal on the Mahindra Australian Beach Volleyball, in a gallant victory against Rebecca Ingram and Lucy Sauerova.
“It feels amazing, it’s our first time playing together and my first gold medal so I’m stoked,” Sanchez said.
“I just stuck to what I know, and what I can do well and hoped the result would show…and it did,” she said.
“Games like that are exciting and I’m glad that Kyla and I kept our cool and focused on the next point and reset,” Milutinovic added.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
