Welcome, beach volleyball fans, to another edition of Beach Shorts. This is a rare weekend with no World Tour action whatsoever but there some important developments for the sport announced over the last few days.
A drawing of lots has determined the path every European nation will have in the Continental Cup Finals as they try to qualify for the Olympics. At the same time, the actual draw for Tokyo now has date and location to happen.
Action also continues on national tours around the world with the top German team hitting the sand this weekend and their American counterparts knowing when they will be able to do the same.
That’s what we have for today, so spare a few minutes and read all of it below:
