World no.1 Russia lived up to their tag as pre-tournament favourites by winning the Beach Soccer gold medal on Sunday, beating Italy 3-2 in the final.
The Russians added the Baku 2015 European Games title to their 2011 and 2013 World Cup triumphs and confirmed their status as the world's top team.
Goals from Egor Shaikov and Yury Gorchinskiy put Russia 2-0 up in the first period and when Ilia Leonov added a third in the second period, it looked all over.
But world no.11 Italy have been punching above their weight throughout the tournament and they tried to fight back, but third-period goals from Gabriele Gori and Alessio Frainetti were too little too late.
