Olympic Beach Volleyball Rankings, updated October 2

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.

With their gold medal at the Paris Elite16 — and second of the season, after winning gold in Uberlandia — the Czech Republic’s Ondrej Perusic and David Schweiner vaulted ten spots in the Olympic rankings, from No. 29 to 19. This, in spite of only having five finishes on their Olympic resume.

There were few surprises or major movements on the women’s side after Paris, as four teams ranked in the top 10 made it to the semifinals. In the rankings, the number in parentheses is how many qualifying events that pair has played.
