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 Volleyball World Jurmala Challenge, Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson moved up from No. 14 to No. 9 in the Olympic beach volleyball rankings. Australians Zachery Schubert and Thomas Hodges jumped from No. 23 to 14 with their first gold medal as a team.
