Olympic Beach Volleyball Rankings No. 10 for the 2024 Paris Games

The Olympic race for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games officially began in February in Doha, Qatar, with the Volleyball World Elite16. The final event is yet to be determined, but the qualification period will conclude on June 9, 2024. We’ll be providing these updates for the Beach Volleyball Olympic rankings throughout the next two years.

By virtue of their gold medal finish Sunday at the Espinho Challenge, Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner jumped from No. 15 to No. 10 in the Olympic beach volleyball rankings — and also became the No. 1 American team, jumping both Miles Partain and Andy Benesh, who did not play Espinho, and Tri Bourne and Chaim Schalk, who finished fifth. Meanwhile, Barbara and Carol of Brazil led an all-Brazilian podium, further solidifying their spot as the No. 2 Brazilian women’s pair.
