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.
For just the eighth time since 1997, there was an all-American men’s final. Miles Evans and Chase Budinger trumped Theo Brunner and Trevor Crabb for the first time all season (21-14, 23-21) to win their first gold medal as a team. Tri Bourne and Chaim Schalk, meanwhile, finished fourth, their best of the season in what was a tremendous week for the USA men.
Barbara and Carol collected their third gold medal of the season while fellow Brazilians Taina Silva and Victoria Lopes added another bronze to what has been an impressive medal haul for the Brazilian women in 2023.
