Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - The World Cup ended yesterday for the Goncalves family. Catia and Leandro helped an underwhelming Western Europe Team to the third-place game but unfortunately couldn't snatch the Bronze medal.
Both players seemed disappointed with their display, Catia especially since she was aware this could realistically be her last chance in the tournament. She scored only a couple of points, but not even her nephew Maverick scored a point per game, scoring eight points in twelve games.
Still, they showed the poise to not hang too much on the disappointment. Rather, they looked forward to their upcoming season on the incumbent Victory Cup winners, Moscow Menace, again one of the favorites to win the Continental Cup.
When the Russian media covering the tournament asked Maverick about returning to Moscow for training camp before the season started, he laughed and said this had been his camp, and he couldn't wait for some next-level relaxation in Bali.
